Dungeness Crab Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I got a Dungeness crab! Dun dun duuuun…geness."

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The Dungeness crab wears a pretty fan-shaped shell that's often done up in purple hues.
But eye-catching colors aside, this fellow can be surprisingly hard to spot!
That's because the Dungeness crab is something of an expert hider.
When scared, it plays a nifty trick!
That is, it buries itself beneath the sand with impressive speed.
“Now you see me, now you don't,” it says as it vanishes before your very eyes!
