Poseidon

"These things are the reason why I don't eat seafood."

- Holly Hessias

Appearance
The Poseidon is an amphibious Grimm resembling a gigantic hermit crab in appearance. Its body is generally jet black in appearance with splotches and stripes of pale white adorning its tough exoskeleton. A tiny head is perched on top of its sturdy body, upon which in turn sits two beady red eyes and pair of extremely long antennae. The Poseidon has 10 legs, similar to an regular ordinary hermit crab, including its two massive scissor-like claws. The Poseidon's other 8 limbs are spindly in appearance but are apparently strong enough in nature in order to support the Grimm's tremendous weight. Due to possessing a vulnerable backside, this Grimm wears a gigantic white colored spiral shaped shell in order to protect this weakness.

Regular Poseidons possess the average size of a medium sized car while the big elder ones (dubbed as Kaisers by veteran Huntsmen and Huntresses) can reach sizes bigger than a double-decker bus. Kaiser Poseidons' also possess a much more regal and intimidating appearance than their regular peers, namely in the form of a crown like protrusion on their head along with a huge number of vicious spikes adorning the hard surface of their shells.

Habitat
Due to their bodies possessing a biological requirement for liquid environments in order for them to utilize their powerful water jet attacks as well as for them to even be able to move much more efficiently, Poseidons are generally located in areas where there is a large body of water nearby such as the coasts and lakes. A few Poseidons can be found in several dense jungles located all around Remnant but they are mostly spotted near the rivers in said locations.

Abilities
All Poseidons possess a large pair of vicious crab-like claws that are capable of inflicting grievous wounds while Kaisers are reportedly able to crush large boulders with the vice like grip of their claws alone. A Poseidon's claw is apparently tough and able to block and shrug off shots coming from anything below medium weapons fire and Kaisers are seen to be able to block minigun rounds using their large claws as shields. Poseidon's are also excellent diggers, using their large claws to dig fast into the earth in order to attack their foes from below or to stage ambushes.

Being essentially a bunch of overgrown crustaceans, Poseidons possess a strong, thick exoskeleton that protects them from most of the attacks of their enemies. However, reports made by Huntsmen and Huntresses who regularly encounter this species of Grimm have reported that the armor located at the joints of the creatures' limbs are surprisingly weak and are actually easy to hack off, making the limbs the primary target of any Huntsman or Huntress wishing to take the creatures down.

Inside its body, the Poseidon possesses a special sac where it stores a large volume of water for its body to use for breathing during extended periods on dry land as well as for expelling in large, pressurized quantities in its water jet attacks.
