Crabmeat

Crabmeat was a crab-based Badnik created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik. He was actually one of the higher-ranked members of Robotnik's empire, outranking Snively.

History
In his earliest appearances, Crabmeat often served as Robotnik's lackey with numerous roles ranging from morale officer to guard and enforcer. Once, Robotnik sent a squadron of Crabmeat units to lure Sonic the Hedgehog into an ambush, and caused Sonic to have a nightmare in which Robotnik was an orphan living with Sonic and Uncle Chuck. (OSM #3)

Robotnik does not treat his robots well, and this was proved early on when Robotnik let Crabmeat become entangled in the experimental Krudzu and then recycled Crabmeat, and the SWATbot that created the Krudzu. Then he used Crabmeat as a test dummy for Coconuts. (StH #1, #2)

Crabmeat had many misadventures on his own, including a failed attempt at getting rid of some flying ants, ushering some SWATbots into the Slag Shop for using a big crate to capture a salamander, and being caught reading Sonic comic books. In this case, Robotnik used Crabmeat's comic books as an inspiration for some robot superheroes with disasterous results, ending with Robotnik using Crabmeat as a horse to gallop away. (StH #3, #4, #8).

Since Crabmeat and Snively have similar ranks, which says a lot about both, they would have a few misadventures together. These include asking why Robotnik is playing with Freedom Fighters dolls & getting gift wrapped by Bunnie Rabbot and Princess Sally, searching for a mole in the organization & bringing back a real mole, searching for King Gong & nearly getting eaten alive, and rounding up some time-stopped soldiers & getting time-stopped themselves. (StH #15, #16, #17, SSS #5)

Crabmeat's abuse kept increasing as he was used as a test dummy in a crushing trap, and enlarged to toss Nack the Weasel out the winder before being trashed by Mecha Sonic. During all this, he made his greatest goof by setting the computer to operate a 6-pronged energy inducer, when Robotnik was using a 3-pronged inducer to draw energy from a Chaos Emerald. The resultant explosion split the emerald into two equal shards, one creating a new Zone, the other nearly blowing up the Floating Island, all because of Crabmeat's boner. He eventually showed up at a Robo-Hobo Jungle where Sonic trashed him. Again. (StH #25, 39, 40, STT)
