BIG, pointy elbows!

Parthenopids are found all over the world but only some of them have the kind of pincers that provide the mightiest of elbows.

Some Elbows Crabs have arms that are each more than twice as long as the rest of their body! They're frequently encrusted with all sorts of fluffy bits and bob which provide effective camouflage. They might even be covered in vicious-looking spikes, which provide effective karate chops.
If you approach an Elbow Crab and he doesn't like the look of you, he'll open his arms to the full extent and threaten you with bestial hugs.

it looks like their arms are pincer sin their own right. Of course, I wouldn't want to receive a hug from these guys, even if it's a friendly one.
