"**Lobster Claws**" is the thirteenth episode of the eleventh season of *The Fairly OddParents!*.

It premiered on June 22, 2018, alongside "Sleep Spells".[1]

## Synopsis

When Ludo fires one of his monster minions, Lobster Claws, Timmy and Chloe attempt to help him adjust to life on Earth.[2]

## Plot

The episode opens with a fight between Ludo's army and Timmy and Chloe. While Timmy has his back turned, firing spells against other monsters, Beard Deer grabs him. Right afterwards, the unnamed frill-neck monster and Bearicorn jump on Chloe, trapping her. Ludo then instructs another monster, Lobster Claws, to grab the wand from Timmy. After "flexing his thorax", he scuttles over to Beard Deer and Timmy and grabs what at first appears to be the wand but actually turns out to be one of Beard Deer's antlers. Beard Deer lets go of Timmy after realizing he is missing an antler which allows Timmy to fend off Ludo's minions.

Timmy and Chloe leave for school while Ludo opens a dimensional portal and tells his minions to enter. Lobster Claws is the last to enter but before he can, Ludo stops him and explains that he is fired due to his incompetency. After Timmy and Chloe come back from school, they notice Lobster Claws still in the backyard and they run out to attack him. Lobster Claws does not fight back, leading to Chloe asking if he is okay. He explains his predicament to Timmy and Chloe, indicating that he wants to be good.

Chloe tries to explain to Lobster Claws that he should do to others what he would like done to him. Soon after this, he punches a passerby off of his bicycle. Lobster Claws then tries to heed Chloe's advice to an apparent success. The trio continue down the road and encounter a little girl whose cat Mr. Mittens is stuck in a tree. Chloe uses this as an opportunity for Lobster Claws to try and be good. Lobster Claws successfully rescues Mr. Mittens but then tries to eat him, and after Timmy and Chloe rescue Mr. Mittens, he tries to eat the girl. The trio continue on as Chloe tells Lobster Claws that he cannot eat children. They walk past a house that is on fire with the owner worried about her "baby" that is still inside. Lobster Claws heads into the burning house as Timmy extinguishes the fire with a spell. The "baby", which turns out to be a baby grand piano, is unharmed by the fire. Timmy and Chloe find Lobster Claws outside having kidnapped an ice cream man and pouring the ice cream out of the cart into his mouth.

Lobster Claws then tries to help an elderly lady cross the street. As Timmy takes his eyes off of him momentarily, he somehow sets the surrounding area on fire whilst holding up a car and screaming. Back at home, the trio watches the news story about the damage Lobster Claws caused. As Chloe goes to find rubber bands for Lobster Claws' claws, Timmy and Lobster Claws cut a deal that will help them both get what they want.

Whilst Timmy is feigning sleep in a hammock in the backyard, Ludo opens a portal and attempts to grab the wand with his minions. Timmy wakes up and starts fighting as Chloe runs outside to him. He explains that he lured them here so Lobster Claws could get his job back by pretending to beat him up. On the cue of Timmy saying "I got more than cupcakes this time", Lobster Claws jumps over the wall and starts pretending to beat up Timmy. Ludo and his minions seem to fall for the ruse and observe an improvement, and after Ludo exclaims that Lobster Claws should just grab the wand, he does so as Timmy lays defeated on the ground.

After Lobster Claws grabs the wand, it transforms into a demonic-looking scepter with a black orb/eyeball on top. Lobster Claws also becomes much more aggressive looking and sounding. However, once he turns to Timmy, who explains she was trying to help him, both he and the wand transform into much more benign forms. Conflicted between Ludo, who desires for Lobster Claws to be a monster and give him the wand, and Timmy, who claims to have seen the good in him, Lobster Claws cannot decide who to give the wand to, giving Chloe an opportunity to kick the wand out of his claws and back into Timmy's hands. Timmy then wipes out the entirety of Ludo's army in one spell, forcing a retreat. Before Lobster Claws enters the portal, Ludo remarks how he had the wand, asking what it felt like and lets him through the portal. Chloe asks about Lobster Claws being good, to which Lobster Claws punches him from the other side of the portal. Timmy remarks how there was some good in Lobster Claws after all. However, Chloe replies that there was not much.
