Shade crab

Shade crabs are crustaceans found on the Unggoy homeworld of Balaho. 
Dadab the Deacon hunted shade crabs as well as Mud wasps in the days of his youth.Halo: Contact Harvest, page 90
Shade crabs may be taxonomically similar to crustaceans found on Earth, but since they evolved in different planetary ecosystems, the two groups are obviously not related.
