An idea from Mecheon. It's a Horseshoe crab made from the Scarab model. Horseshoe crabs are one of the most ancient creatures that are still alive today, these creatures evolved about at the same time as the Triloibtes, about 500 million years ago. sadly they are allmost extinct now.
NO CUSTOM SKINS NEEDED!

Lived from the Cambrian perdiod to the recent.

They have 4 eyes, 2 on top and 2 on the under side.

nj on the model, but there are just two things u got wrong.
first thing is: horseshoe crabs arent endangered. i go to cape cod every summer and they r seriously thriving.
also, the "eyes" on the top of the head are more like lumps in real life. theyre real "eyes" are on their underside, but they cant really see, theyre just light receptors.
but more on topic, if i could rate itd be 5/5. :D

Well, lobsters, spiders and crabs are the closest living relatives of the Horseshoe crab. and they are all Arthopods.

WarlordChris, these things exist in real life. And they're not related to lobsters in any way, shape or form

I fail to see how they even LOOK like lobsters

Anywho, gotta love horseshoe crabs. The underbelly is severe ownage. Unfortunantly, due to technical errors I can't download it to my WC3 computer, so can't see how it plays ingame

not another evil lobster :evil:

GooD model! :twisted:

....looks like this model will be useful... Trilobites lives a long time... but horse-shoe crabs way outlived them...
although they are becoming slowly "out-dated" they are built for survival.... and the horse-shoe crabs crawling in the seas now are from the same stock as those crawling in the seas when giant orthocones and trilobites thrived and the first fish prowled...

hehe :lol:

Your models are getting better and better, olof. What about a Saber Tooth Panther model as the next work?
