Not fair. I also see a non-mussel bivalve, a crab, a gastropod, uhhhh... what looks like the offspring between E.T. and an anomuran decapod, I can't even fathom a guess at those cockroach mice things...?

Edit: On reinspection, the red demon has the most "it's a living"-ass face possible.

The cockroach mice might be that they had only heard about or seen other slighly less terrible drawings of lobsters.

Edit: Oh wait, thats the ET thing.

The cockroach mice are little paisley looking ones.

That'd be really weird given how detailed the crab is, because the astacids – lobsters and crayfish – are globally distributed like crabs. The E.T. thing doesn't even have the right number of limbs, which is why I had to either invoke infraorder Anomura or assume a bilateral congenital limb defect.

It's actually like the product of trisexual reproduction between E.T., a lobster, and an arachnid.
