This monster has spikes on its back as well as two glowing eyes hidden by its exoskeleton. As such, Crustys resemble another spiked monster, the [[Spikey]]. In fact, a Crusty may be a sub-species of Spikey. However, it is likely that the two creatures share a common ancestor and are two distinct species. Crustys (unlike Spikeys) are large, have six legs and two enormous pincers. |

| '''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 are usually found underwater, they appear blue. Their real coloration can be seen if the [[Blooper Nanny]] is lured to the edge.<ref>{{cite|author=LightsJusticeZ|date=May 6, 2024|title=[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fw-aQijjRs SMRPG (SNES) - How to see Crusty's pink color without cheats]|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 17, 2024}}</ref> In the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], its pink coloration is seen underwater. | |

| Crusties are very powerful monsters but are also very rare; they can only be found aiding other types of underwater monsters in battle. 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.
| | Crustys 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; the latter provided by their tough exoskeletons. A Crusty has a pink exoskeleton; however, since they can only be found underwater, their exoskeletons appear to be blue. In a fight, a Crusty can use its massive pincers to inflict serve damage to an opponent. |

| 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 defeat them fairly easily. Crusties are related to the more powerful [[Star Cruster]]s. | | Although Crustys have high physical defense, they also have low magical defense. As such, Crustys have compensated for this weakness by developing the ability to shoot special light bubbles. These bubbles infect an attacker with the [[Mute]] status ailment. When Muted, an attacker will be unable to use magic, giving the Crusty the upper hand (or pincer, in this case). |

| ==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 is not 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.
