Mitten Crab Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I caught a mitten crab! One more and I'm ready for winter!"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The mitten crab was named for its impossibly adorable and fuzzy pincers. These cute crustaceans embark quite the journey.

  They're first born in brackish waters. Then they mature in freshwater. Finally, they travel to the ocean to create more mitten crabs! Hoo!

  How I delight in the thought of thousands of tiny mittened crabs scuttling about!
