Crab (カニ, Kani) was a crab-like Chimera Ant and one of the first generation soldiers.[1]

Appearance[]

Crab was a Chimera Ant with the appearance of a giant red crab.

Personality[]

Since Crab was one of the first generation Chimera Ant soldiers, it was born before the Chimera Ant Queen had consumed humans and could not speak. It silently obeyed orders and brought two human children to the Queen.[1]

Plot[]

Chimera Ant arc[]

HxH2011 EP77 Crab approaches Kurt and Reina

Crab approaches the children

The crab-like Chimera Ant was one of the first soldiers to be born. Soon after birth, it was ordered by the Queen to find better food. It finds and slowly approaches two human children, Kurt and Reina, by the riverside and raises its claws. Kurt tries to defend his sister with his fishing rod and yells at Crab to stay away, but it is able to capture the children for the Queen to devour.[1] Crab's whereabouts are currently unknown.

Abilities & Powers[]

As a Chimera Ant, Crab is stronger than the average human. Crab was able to easily capture humans to the Queen,[1] and other Chimera Ant soldiers (on the same Hierarchy position as Crab) were strong enough to scare off weaker Nen users, such as Ponzu.[2]

Trivia[]

  • Since it was born before the Queen learned about names, it had never received one. However, it has been referred to as カニ型[3] (Kani-gata, literally "Crab type") in the Hunter × Hunter Arena Battle mobile game.
