In the vibrant depths of the Kyushu Reef, where the water shimmered with shades of azure and sunlight danced upon the crests of gentle waves, an unusual creature made its home. Known as the **Elekrab**, it was a fascinating blend of terrestrial might and marine whimsy. Picture a creature with the massive, wise head of an elephant—complete with long, floppy ears and a trunk that could unfurl like a curious vine. But instead of sturdy legs, it sported the hard, jointed body of a Japanese crab, its shell an iridescent hue of deep indigo with intricate patterns that seemed to shift like the currents of the sea.

The Elekrab’s size was both imposing and comical. Standing nearly two meters tall at the head and scuttling over the ocean floor, it had to delicately balance its immense weight as it crawled sideways along the coral beds. Its eyes were large and expressive, conveying a range of emotions from playful curiosity to peaceful contemplation. Fishermen would often recount stories of how Elekrabs scanned the shoreline with intelligent gaze, seeming to ponder the mysteries of the world above the waves.

Despite their size, Elekrabs were gentle giants. They exhibited a unique behavior, living in tight-knit family groups much like elephants. These creatures could often be seen nudging each other with their trunks in a playful manner or even engaging in synchronized dances as they intently listened to the rhythmic sounds of the ocean. Their trademark display was a show of communal foraging; when they found a patch of seaweed, they would work together, using their trunks to pluck the delicious greens and pass them to one another.

Speaking of diet, Elekrabs were primarily herbivores. They feasted on a variety of underwater vegetation, including seaweed, seagrass, and algae. Their massive trunks could reach far into the coral to extract the tastiest morsels, which they would then munch contentedly while anchored to a rock. Occasionally, they indulged in a little seafood, snacking on small crabs or mollusks, but only when the mood struck—for them, it was all about the greens.

The Elekrab’s habitat was a stunning network of coral reefs and underwater caves, adorned with vibrant marine life. They carved out cozy dens in the sand, where they would retreat during storms or at night. During the day, groups would often gather around vibrant coral gardens, where they played and foraged, creating a breathtaking spectacle of nature.

One interesting tidbit about Elekrabs is their unique way of communicating. They used a combination of body language, low rumbling sounds, and subtle vibrations transmitted through the water. With their trunks, they could send soft waves of pressure through the ocean, allowing them to communicate over great distances, much like the way elephants rumble to each other across vast savannas. This ability was not only crucial for coordinating their group activities but also served to warn each other of approaching predators—like the dreaded Tigerfish, who would otherwise be unaware of the giant, munching Elekrabs nearby.

Truly, the Elekrabs were a wonder of the ocean, a seamless blend of land and sea, wisdom and playfulness.

Physical description

An elephant with the long spindly legs of a japanese crab. It weighs 6000kg and is potentially 86 times bigger than the average man. The Elephacrab boasts a striking profile—the massive, grey-skinned head of an elephant with its large, expressive eyes and long, drooping ears harmonizing with its slender, crab-like legs that can measure up to three meters in length. These legs are segmented and jointed, allowing the Elephacrab to move gracefully over both sand and mud, despite their impressive size. The body is robust and heavy, providing stability, while its long legs give it an unusual gait, which has been humorously described as a mix between a shuffle and a dance.

Elephacrabs are predominantly nocturnal creatures, using the cover of night to forage for food. They exhibit a surprisingly social behaviour, often found in small groups, communicating with one another through a series of low rumbles and chirps, reminiscent of an elephant's calls but punctuated with the clicking sounds characteristic of crabs. These gatherings not only serve social functions but also allow the Elephacrab to protect one another from potential predators, including crocodiles and large birds.

During the day, Elephacrabs can often be seen wading through shallow waters or lounging on beaches, their long legs stretching out, letting the waves lap over their massive bodies. They exhibit a peculiar practice of ‘mud-bathing’—a behavior akin to elephants rolling in dirt—to keep their skin moist and clear of parasites.
