Cancer

Cancers are an aquatic, crab-like Grimm found mostly on shorelines and river deltas. They can be found at a variety of sizes and because of this, can be any range of threat levels.

Appearance
Cancers resemble the Dungeness Crab found in the northwest coastline of North America. Their hard shells are bone white with red markings, and this plating is also found on the shells across its claws, legs and face. The un-armored parts of the beast are black, as most Grimm are, as well as having red eyes. Their threat level depends on their size.

Hatchling Cancer
When they first are hatched from eggs, Cancers are relatively small, no bigger than a dinner plate and no taller than a pillow. Their shells are also very soft from lack of development outside the eggs, making them very easy to break open or kill. At this stage, they are rated D for their soft bodies, weak claws, and lack of experience attacking humans.

Dwarf Cancer
These are Cancers that have grown into larger, more adolescent sizes with stronger shells and grips for their claws. They have molted into larger bodies now about the size of a coffee table and slightly longer in length. At this size, they are rated C for light armor and easily agitated behavior.

Adult Cancer
At their adult size, Cancers have become a formidable threat. The size of a small truck and with the grip force of a car compactor, these are a dangerous beast to come across at the beach. Their ranking hovers between B and A depending on their experience, which can warrant stronger shells, and even an armored underbelly which is usually left exposed.

Goliath Cancer
Known to be the size of a house and able to cut down a thick tree with only a fraction of their claw's strength, these massive versions are extremely rare to come across. They are believed to reside more commonly on the seafloor than the shallow coastal waters, where their shells are hardened by the pressure to be as strong as tank armor. They will only come ashore in times where prey under the ocean is scarce or negativity in a coastal settlement becomes strong enough to attract Grimm. The sight of one of these can cause a full evacuation of any beachfront community. They are ranked A for superior strength in their claws and extremely protective shells.

Trivia
-The name of this Grimm is derived from the Zodiac sign of the same name. Its animal sign is a crab.
