Behind the Scenes

Developer Commentary

"Itou from the Legends series designed Crawfish. I think Inafune ended up drawing the actual illustration, though I doubt he remembers that." - (Hayato Kaji)[1]
"Someone else was drawing it at first, but they just couldn't get an approval on the rough draft, so Inafune had to step in and do it himself." - (Shinsuke Komaki)[1]

Nomenclature

Language Name Origin
Japanese Scissors Shrimper (シザーズ・シュリンプァー) "Scissors" refers to his claws, while "Shrimper" is derived from shrimp.
English Crush Crawfish "Crush" refers to the pressure between his claws, while "Crawfish" is an alternative name for crayfish.
