A crab merged with an F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter.

The ocean is becoming acidic, and not the good kind. Ocean acidification dissolves crustaceans' shells before they can harden. They survived for 450 million years before losing their armor to our carbon emissions. So they upgraded the carapace. The F-35 is the most expensive weapons system ever built. Stealth technology, supersonic speed, heat-seeking missiles. Their shells may be weakening, but their defenses just went next-generation. Try cracking that carapace now, mister.
