Description: SCP-XXXX is a collective designation to a group of specimens of Brachyura in the phylum crustaceans with a distinct colour of red pigment on their shells and most instances wears a Black Top Hat on the top of their Cepalothorax.

SCP-XXXX-1 instances are various species of Brachyura² that appears to be non-anomalous and appears to be a normal species of Brachyura that, besides having a distinguishing feature each wearing a black top hat³, and having an almost impenetrable exoskeleton (most attempts to damaged or neutralize instances of SCP-XXXX-1 has been met with failure) however when SCP-XXXX-1 get's injured, it would attempt to scuttle and P I L E "pile" to the nearest instances of SCP-XXXX-1 until it begins to molt a new exoskeleton⁴ [see more information below]. SCP-XXXX-1 moves in groups, usually ranging within 10-700 dozen instances of SCP-XXXX-1. SCP-XXXX-1 would vary sizes from instances. SCP-XXXX-1 also acts in groups, usually flanking or outmaneuvering it's victims.

Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 shows sentience and, has the average of intelligence of an average homo sapien sapien⁵, managing to adapt quickly to the changes in environment. SCP-XXXX-1 anomalous capabilities are able to materialize any desired object from their will, out of nowhere, that would normally help Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to immobilize their prey, this would them be followed by Instances of SCP-XXXX-1 swarming their prey and begin to "rave"⁶ on them, usually lasting for hours, days, or months before moving on to seek another prey or the demanifestation of instances of SCP-XXXX-1. Various instances of SCP-XXXX-1 has been observed be capable of reality bending, however, it is rarely seen used by SCP-XXXX-1. instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are also show to be able to move faster than an ordinary human being, ranging from 60-100km/h.

SCP-XXXX-1's preference of prey has been observed to range from any object, animals, other entities and anomalies, humanoids, and human beings.
All instances of SCP-XXXX-1 are also observed to P I L E "pile" on eachother and begin hibernation in a enclosed and dark area, usually a cave or closet or begin molting. Almost every instances of SCP-XXXX-1 have been observed to "scuttle" or "pile" when SCP-XXXX-2 has manifested. It is still not yet known why SCP-XXXX-1 Instances behaves differently when near the area of effect of SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX-2 is a Macrocheira kaempferi⁷ that has the ability to be able to change it's height, length, and width. SCP-XXXX-2 also has a black top hat on it's carapace, that is measured approximately 13 centimeters in height, the top hat does not change sizes when SCP-XXXX-2 does. SCP-XXXX-2 also possesses the ability to bend or alter reality. Unlike SCP-XXXX-1, SCP-XXXX-2 would often use the reality bending capabilities to clear it's path, to disable machineries, alter the surroundings and climate⁸ and the ability to alter time. SCP-XXXX-2 also acts as a collective consciousness⁹ for SCP-XXXX-1.

SCP-XXXX-2 also is capable of controlling various Anomalous and non-anomalous crustacean entities and would cause a Memetic effect to human subjects to "worship" or "be fond" of SCP-XXXX-2, often resulting in the building of natural habitats for instances of SCP-XXXX-1 or freeing non-anomalous and Anomalous crusteceans from captivity and an altar built for SCP-XXXX-2.

SCP-XXXX-2's behaviour is completely docile to human beings, and would often being mistaken for a normal Macrocheira kaempferi. SCP-XXXX-2 is sometimes referred to as "Reginald"
