Decap and the C.R.A.B.

"Hello master, I am your personal Crustacean Robot Armored for Battle. How can I help defend you today?" -C.R.A.B. to Decap

## Basic Info

Delsin Decap and the Crustacean Robot Armored for Battle, or C.R.A.B. for short, are two parts to the same whole. Decap was a normal citizen of the United States before summoning the crab randomly at night, and now is a wanted fugitive of both the SCP Foundation and the United States government for his destruction of private property and refusing arrest. They have been designated SCP-5899.

## Backstory

SCP-5899 C.R.A.B. is a manifestation of childhood fear and wonder within Delsin Decap. It takes the form of a mechanical crab as part of its anonymous ability. It is robotic due to its nature of shifting randomly, although it also has the anomalous ability to completely disappear and appear at random. The trigger for this ability would seem to be a scream for Decap, but with better mastery has the potential to be summoned at just a feeling.

This SCP is highly dangerous in the hands of the wrong individual with strong mastery, and is considered a high priority for the SCP Foundation to capture and contain. Further testing would need to be done to determine if Decap is able to turn other things besides crabs into mechanical objects, which would change the classification of the SCP to Keter. Currently, the foundation believes that the classification of Euclid is appropriate.

Delsin Decap grew up in St. Augustine, Florida United States of America. He loved the beach and was deeply connected to the sea life there, and it let him distract himself from school and family if just for a moment. His favorite animal were crabs as a child, and he always played with the little ones on the beach. Coincidentally, his favorite TV show as a child was Transformers; a popular robot show at the time. What he did not know is that the anomalous power within his mind would start to slowly manifest itself into the ability to not only summon a large crab but also make it a robot.

The night that his powers fully manifested Decap was asleep in his bed having a nightmare, when all of a sudden his powers activated and a crab outside was transformed into a 26 foot (8 meter) tall mechanical crab. Not having the foresight on how to activate or deactivate the C.R.A.B., it suddenly dissipated and Decap fell to the ground, and was unable to re-summon the mechanical monster. It would not be summoned again until Decap screamed while watching a horror movie. It was then that he understood that it was summoned by screaming, and that it was his to control. He quickly got excited and ran to a local abandoned amusement park on the outskirts of St. Augustine. Here, he unleashed its powers upon decrepit rides and attractions, destroying the old park.

As Decap brazenly strolled back into town on top of his C.R.A.B., the SCP Foundation was alerted by the local authorities and they quickly sent out several low-level MTF teams to secure the robot and person controlling it. C.R.A.B. unleashed its full powers upon the MTF teams, and opened fire upon them with an anomalous firearm that came out of it. Upon this, the MTF teams took on a more peaceful approach and tried to negotiate with Decap to get them to come to the Foundation. Decap refused, and walked away from the MTF teams to become a fugitive on the run.
