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.
Around here we call them cockamouse.
