edited December 2010 in Tales of Monkey Island
So I wanted to rewatch the last scene after the credits in chapter 5.... but I realized I didn't have a saved game so I did a youtube search... while watching the credits I noticed something I didn't before.. Treasure Crab is in the credits and he brought friends with him.... How awesome is that?

I demand you all give treasure crab more love and acknowledge his importance...

    I think Treasure Crab should be TTG's official mascot and appear in every game from now on.

    But not in an obvious way... always in the background of a shot "Acquiring" money, loot, or other bric a brac .... it should almost be fast and blurry like if bigfoot was a ninja..

    I'm looking forward to TTG's next game: The Adventures of Treasure Crab 1: Treasure Crab Steals Some Stuff

    Crab people -- talk like people, taste like crab.

    Oh, he's got a name? I thought that was the voodoo lady in disguise (first appearance on a rock behind Guybrush's back in EP2 when talking to Anemone, last appearance as a school of crabs in EP5).

    You just blew my mind with this Voodo Lady thing.

    It could make sense though, couldn't it? And mind you: The last we saw of Murray is when he gets trapped in that treasure chest (possibly with the crab in it, too). What if Murray is another "piece" of the Voodoo Lady's next plans ("a piece" as in Guybrush's hand or the essence of LeChuck he had on her desk at the end of TMI)?

    I think it's just a crab. An awesome crab, but just a crab. And yes, TTG should put him into future games, at least future Monkey Island games.

    Treasure Crab: the greatest reappearing special guest since Chuck the Plant.

    I'm hoping we at least see it again in any future seasons of TOMI. Would be cool if it came up in other Telltale games too. They might be able to throw him into the next Sam and Max games, perhaps wandering around in the street with the rats or something.

    Umm, don't kill me but... who is the Treasure Crab?

    Treasure Crab is the rather random crab that seemed to appear near treasure in TMI.

    Fat lot of good it does them if Insanity Prawn Boy is any indication for their kind... :D

    np: Contriva - Auf'm Land (8 Eyes ('96 - '99))

    Wouldn't that supersede Murray position as a reappearing character/object?
  • IrishmileIrishmile
    edited March 2010
    I stand by my belief that Murray and Treasure Crab are destined to become a duo.....

    Obviously, you two are closer than I thought for you to know these kinds of details :p

    Dang it. No one was supposed to find out about that.

    Ok people who still have game saves can you post screen caps of all of treasure crabs appearances in the game?

    I recall treasure crabs tried to steal Jack Sparrow's ship once.

    You can tell from his body language - he's after treasure.

    Would you think a baker is only a baker when he bakes? No, he's always a baker. Baking or not. Same with the treasure crab.

    Awww I can't believe I didn't notice him before.

    He is clearly just in the planning stages there.

    I wonder what the treasure crab plans on doing with all that treasure.

    What every other megalomaniac crustacean would do in it's place - take over the world!

    I imagine give it to Mrs. Treasure Crab.

    But, nah. He never really got any treasures, only the chests...and Murray.
    Maybe he just needs something to carry all the treasure he plans to dig up in the spirit world?

    Oh he gets treasure.... if you go by the drawing in the credits of ep5

    Yeah, he definitely strikes me as the kind of Crab who's getting treasure for his girlfriend Crab. What a guy.


    Also, to anybody thinking that I'm making an assumption when I call treasure crab male: you can always tell the sex of a crab by its size. Female crabs are typically ten times the size of male humans.

    that's a huge crab.... Also the crabs that the voodoo lady use to communicate with Guybrush are clearly not the same crabs... for one wouldn't they be dead crabs being in the crossroads

    Sorry for the double post but I think T.C. should be hidden somewhere on this page
