'''Crusty''' is a powerful crab-like crustacean that lives underwater, typically in the waters in and around [[Jonathan Jones|Jonathan Jones]]' [[Sunken Ship]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Crusties resemble another spiked monster, the [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Spikey]], but the two are unrelated. A Crusty actually has a pink exoskeleton; however, since they can only be found underwater, they appear blue and their real coloration is never seen.

'''Crusty''' is a powerful [[crab]]-like enemy that lives in the waters in and around [[Johnny]]'s [[Sunken Ship]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. A Crusty actually has a pink exoskeleton; however, since they can only be found underwater, they appear blue and their real coloration is never seen. This was reverted in the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]].


Crusties are very powerful monsters but are also very rare; they can only be found aiding other types of underwater monsters in battle. These monstrous crustaceans have high physical attack and high physical defense. A Crusty uses its massive pincers to inflict severe damage to an opponent 2/3 of the time, or fires a light bubble 1/3 of the time that does no damage, but with the effect of inflicting [[Silence]]. Crusties do not have any magic.

These crustaceans have high physical attack and high physical defense. A Crusty uses its massive pincers to inflict severe damage to an opponent 2/3 of the time, or fires a light bubble 1/3 of the time that does no damage, but with the effect of inflicting [[Mute (status effect)|Mute]]. Crusties do not have any magic.


Although Crusties have high physical defense, their magical defense is low, and they are weak to Fire and Thunder. As such, Mario and Mallow can dispose of them fairly easily, especially once the latter has learned [[Shocker]]. Crusties are related to the more powerful [[Star Cruster]]s.

==Trivia==
*In the Japanese version, Crusty's [[Thought Peek|thought]] is a reference to the classic commercial jingle for ''Kani Dōraku'', a seafood restaurant chain, and roughly translates to "fresh-caught and lively".<ref name=Localization>Clyde Mandelin (June 29, 2020). [https://legendsoflocalization.com/the-pop-culture-obsessed-monsters-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/#kani-crusty The Pop Culture-Obsessed Monsters in Japanese Super Mario RPG § Kānī / Crusty]. ''Legends of Localization''. Retrieved November 7, 2023.</ref> While this reference isn't carried over to the English translation in the Nintendo Switch remake, the script still alludes to it by making Crusty's thought a rhyming jingle.
