    I was browsing through the Monster-Monster contest, and I saw an entry that inspired me and gave me an idea.
    Meet The Clump-Crab:
    This creature dwells on any planet, adapting to the terrain around it, growing shrubs, flowers, grass, and if the creature is large enough to be an Alpha Clump-Crab, it can sometimes grow large trees on its back. This creature will stay submerged in the ground until the player steps on or close to the creature, where it will pop out of the ground and wrap its legs around the player, stunning and slowing the player while doing damage with its pincers. The creature is only able to be visibly seen as different by slight color differences and/or the legs of the creature sticking through into a cave below. If this creature is tamed it could possibly be trained to carry different tiles, like wood, glass, or other things to allow for traps. Also there could be a rare ( 1-5%) chance for a giant one to spawn, carrying some sort of hill or small generic hut on its back, which will turn into a boss fight, with its own varying attacks.
    I hope you enjoy, and if there is anything you would like to add/draw a much nicer picture/pixel representation, I would be glad to post it and credit you. Thanks!
