Crab-Bot

This little guy is available on my Etsy http://justJB.etsy.comOf course mad scientists are well-known for combining animals and machinery in horrifying ways, but one of the only-slightly-frustrated scientists, Dr. Feltsmeyer Inkwood, was more known for giving rise to only-slightly-disturbing creations.
Dr. Inkwood was looking to create a helper robot for around his laboratory; something small but industrious and quick would do. As one of the not-quite-insane scientists, he'd had the foresight to build his lab in a nice little beach house. (It should be noted that he would become somewhat-slightly-more-disturbed around tourist season.)
Thus, his studies led to the common crab. Fast and sturdy, it would make a wonderful lab helper, once "properly attired" (that is to say, had its brain removed and planted into a robotic body with heightened artificial intelligence chips).
Unfortunately for Dr. Inkwood, one of the subsections of information on the AI chips included various recipes, including no fewer than seventy-three ways to prepare crab legs.
The Crab-Bot was thus discarded as a bad job, as it mainly just hung about in shadows, unable to move much for hugging its own legs to itself and muttering unhappily about drawn butter.

Dr. Inkwood must be just a annoyed or slighty irritated scientist then. :P Anyway, very cool. Where do you get your eyes?
