Nature: Island Crab

This MOC takes you on a journey that exists in the real world.

Hermit crabs sometimes have sea anemone growing on their backs for protection. I thought it kind of resembled a little island that the crab owns. The sea anemone was its inhabitant. 

Based on the hermit crabs, I made a little crab with a forest of rocks and plants on top of its shell. It's its own ecosystem up there.

The shell is a very creative part of the crab. The shel's exoskeleton is made out of a mountain piece. Sort of like how a hermit crab will find a new shell everytime it gets bigger, this crab took on an entire LEGO mountain piece instead. How odd...

I hope you guys find this build cute, funny, and awesome!
