I love horseshoe crabs so much ;.; They're one of the most ancient survivors on our planet! I think they should be protected. Plus they're cute. I saw a little baby one in an aquarium once about the size of a hand that was swimming on the surface of its talk upside-down, using its book gills to propel itself. (It looked like it was rowing itself.) I couldn't figure out why it was swimming upside-down, but it was extremely charming.
Huh, go figure. I was talking to a friend the other day about exactly this - this is one creature that I didn't think anyone would be able to anthromorphise! And yet, here it is... I was on holiday in the US recently and came across one of these on the beach and took some pics of it. Here is one:

This is a rather cool, and unusual critter you've drawn here... Definite fav!

this is so cute! I do research in Tampa Florida on the horseshoe crabs here. A lot of people are weirded out or scared of them and think their tails are stingers, so they just stomp on them when they come on shore to lay the eggs. Would it be possible to share this picture? Seeing such a cute and non-scary version of a horseshoe crab would really help their pr. People don't realize that their blood is used in hospitals to text for toxins and for bacteria. Plus they are doing research where they believe that the horseshoe crabs nervous system and the way they see MIGHT help restore some sight to people who are blind :)
