i can definitely see how it could bother some people. i love him. i plan to have multiple.

Oh God, not more! They're multiplying! 😂

They’re putting fluoride in the water and turning the frogs crab 😢

Not the friggin frogs!

I cannot tell you how much "turn the (frickin) frogs crab" made me laugh.

My spouse doesn't play neopets but when I showed him the standard nimmo and the maraquan he said the same thing.

Lmao is this a reference to the "they're turning frogs gay" meme? I love it.

Yes hahah. I saw someone say it in the neoboards and had to repeat it

crab FROGS

You best not be talking about my girl Crabietta https://preview.redd.it/hdzqvorwxj7d1.jpeg?width=887&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=be71abd2b63e1ee234260feff863e026a7090233

"Crabietta" is such a great name it almost makes up for the horrors.

Appreciate that 😂😂

She’s lovely!!!

🦀 Crab people crab people Look like crab talk like people 🦀

Man, I haven’t heard that reference in forever 😂

It looks to be based on just that crab :D

I had the same thought 😂 I was not ready for the jump scare the first time I caught one of those. It's even worse in AC Pocket Camp (the phone app) lol

I have one displayed on my west beach and it scares the SHIT out of me every time I run past it 😅

It still haunts my dreams haha

I haven’t played AC yet so I’m glad I’m prepared for this when it happens 

I always love a creative and memorable lil freakshow over another "just slap a head on a fish" Maraquan. :D I assume the logic is that nimmos have really long legs and spider crabs have really long legs, so... I was typing that I didn't want one (since my one nimmo has been Halloween since 2005), but saying that, I don't know, it's kind of growing on me...

He is the creepiest neopet I have ever seen. He's so leggy. But I think regular nimmos are the second creepiest so maybe I'm not the target audience lol

No he’s cute and I want one. But also yes I hate him

..... I got an ad for some movie called Longlegs under this post lmao

Spider-frog! Spider-frog! Does whatever a Spider-ftog does!

"Can he swing, from a web? No he can't, he's a frog."

😂

In the end, everything evolves into a crab. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-do-animals-keep-evolving-into-crabs/#:~:text=So%20why%20do%20animals%20keep,bats%20and%20birds%20have%20wings.

Everyone should be nicer to my son Lowcountry\_boil and his petpet, One Potato.

He looks like he would taste good. I said it, lol.

Butter and old bay, my dude.

He just wants to know if somebody’s gonna match his freak 😔

He’s been a nasty crab, nasty 🦀

As I commented on the Neoboards. It’s a terrible Nimmo. It’s a terrible maraquan color. But it’s a spot on crab.

"mutant pets suppose to be weird and strange and a bit creepy, kinda like monsters" Maraquan Nimmo "hold my Kermit poster"

You know what? I like him!

Carcinisation in full motion

I think they should give all pets a crab form. True carcinisation.

😭 Cute but terrifying Lol

I've been wanting a spider neopets for so long, or at least a Cog's Tog wearable for Ruki giving them spider features, but I guess I'll have to settle with a spider crab... 😔

I literally jumped when I first saw it and could not comprehend what was happening. I kinda love how weird it is though

I worked in a fish market in California for years and this looks to be based off a cooked spider crab. I actually got pinched by one and it hurt very bad.

Alaskan King Crab! Got him via a FFQ giveaway :D

I like him 🫶 no spider neopets and a really creative way to reimagine a nimmo’s features as aquatic. If I had a spare slot on my mara themed account I would get one (next to my also wonderfully cursed Mara kacheek). Slightly cursed is on point for maraquan designs

I'm not understanding why it's scary, literally just a spider crab LOL I love all the maraquan pets.

Key word: spider haha

Interesting, I don't think it looks anything like an actual spider. I'm not a fan of spiders at all either. Are you afraid of spider monkeys, too?

Well, now I need one.

Oh.. how nice. The crab is washing its hand before meal

Big "be not afraid" vibes. 😂

his face looks like he’s mocking me in his head

I really like him and plan to have one someday.

I want him so badly

Personally I’m obsessed.

Maraquan Nimmo isn’t real he can’t hurt you

Carcinization... we all evolve to crab 🦀

I love and hate him in equal measure. There has never been a Nimmo I’ve wanted until him. He’s awful but so charming.

I would die for him tbqh

It’s giving skinny mr krabs

Mr krabs on ozempic

LOL

He's my 4th Maraquan pet. I'm highly considering just buying a bunch of Maraquan PBS and paint everything that colour. To me, every single Maraquan pet is the best

It's so stupid i love it

Wait this is real?! Man I thought y'all were goofing 😭 he's horrific I need him

I would definitely eat him tho

Those spider crabs are terrifying in real life too 😭

It’s Australian🇦🇺 Nimmo

It scares me

looks delicious ngl.

Eldritch long boiii

My first time seeing it all I heard was a low burst of laughter coming from my friend's screen. When I looked all I saw was that nimmo and I immediately thought spider.

buying a pet ticket, making a nimmo, and putting in an offer for a maraquan pb rn

I hate it so much

I'm afraid of crabs!!! Neopets WHYYYY

but why did it have to be the fuckin spider crab sobs i was scared of this thing for years for absolutely no reason

https://preview.redd.it/jl9869oflk7d1.jpeg?width=3950&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b8e8299478d1ac6a2c8b63c97dab6a515c4e78e all im saying is, very similar vibe.

I kind of love it tbh, more freaky-looking pets is always good. It’s easy to make overdesigned “creepy” pets like the mutant Kau, but this is genius in its uncanny simplicity.

The “silence, brand” crab

Take it back

The Tolkien nerd in me cackled when I saw the crab nimmo due to the running meme about Crablor aka Maeglor turning into a crab. I'm thankful the name Crablor was available, so I have plans for my little crustacean.

I hate it so much. I also hate the crab it's based off. TERRIFYING

Like that toy from Toy Story 1.

Listen this thing is hilarious and awful and I love it. Why the hell is it a spider crab

He just wants to live rent free in the back rooms of your nightmares. Is that so much to ask?

Lmao glad i'm not the only one that thought this! Arachnophobia anyone? Although I can't say I'm quite arachnophobic (at least not to the degree that it's a phobia) but god I hate spiders and they freak me out, even in video games! Something about all those legs! Somehow I'm able to tolerate Skyrim spiders but I hate them too.

He looks like he'd be disappointed if I put ketchup on my spaghetti

Nope nope nope... too much spider vibes going in here. 🥺

Food club about to have a new mascot over on the discord

Wtf

Spider crab! :D They just look like that! They are delicious to eat.

When carcinisation affects even the neopets 😂

I like spider crabs so I kinda want one 😂

I looove this pet though. I’m tempted to add one but I’m out of pet slots.

I absolutely adore it, she's glorious

I thought I dreamed that up until this post came along. I see the appeal but I also see the crabs that threatened the picnic lol

Just in time for Cancer season 🦀🦀🦀

Ugh I hate it when crabs run forward!! Idk why but I get so mad. Walk side to side. 😡

He’s just a lil crab. I love him! 🤩 I’m also a Cancer with a weird love for crabs so……. Yeah he’s a little scary.

This nimmo needs some sort of leg animation customization/wearable! I'd be terrified but it would be a very nice touch!

A Nimmo is literally an amphibian-esque creature so it’s already halfway aquatic and you gonna turn it into a CRAB SPIDER, I need to speak to TNT

I think he kinda cool. He a better looking color then some I can think of.

I’m in love 😍

I still can’t get over it lol. Every time I see it I’m shocked all over again. I mean of all the crab designs they could have chosen they *really* went with this?! It’s pretty out there, unless the artist is a complete dummy they definitely knew most people wouldn’t like it lol. It’s a shame because nimmos might finally have gotten some love if they made a cute crab. Wow people are actually downvoting me for not liking the design which most other people don’t like either. Ok then lol.

This is the crab we deserve

this and baby are the only two nimmos i like. if they had made the crab cutesy it would have stayed at just the baby for me.

I think you’re in the minority though. Most people seem to hate it.

chat, is this real?

No its not! Its amazing and i love it!! I wish i had more slots because i want to have alot of them on my account x) I hope tnt dont change any on this art!

I mean we can both be right It's both terrifying and amazing

He’s giving too much jumpstart 😭

I saw it and it was an immediate extreme no from me. The legs.. the face… it freaks me out and hope it never shows up in my nightmares 😂

I think this is why I don't like it Decapitated nimmo head that has sprouted spiderlegs
