Lobster (fish)

The Lobster is a rare crustacean which can be found in the ocean all day between the months of November and February. It is sold for 2,500 Bells. In the "Bugs and Fish" window in City Folk, it has the description: "These are the créme de la créme of the shrimp group." It is suggested that the lobster in is a Maine Lobster. It's shadow size is about the same size as the sea bass but is a little longer and less round.

Donating to the Museum
Like all fish and bugs in the series, the lobster can be donated to the Museum by talking to Blathers, the curator. Upon donating, he will tell the player a bit of information about the lobster.

In City Folk
Upon donating to the Museum in, Blathers will say;

"Lobsters rather remind me of shrimp, though many call them crawfish of the sea. Size varies by species, but some lobsters have been known to grow to a massive 48 inches in length. ...I rather dislike them, actually. Their clicky legs and vile bellies call insects to mind, I'm afraid."

The lobster can be found in the back tank, crawling on the bottom.

Further Information
Lobsters are invertebrates and can be found all over the world. They have an exoskeleton which protects them from predators, which they molt in order to grow, making them incredibly vulnerable at this point of time. They live in rocky areas under the sea, which also helps them to protect themselves from predators. Lobsters come in different forms, clawless and clawed but they all have 10 legs (the claws on clawed lobsters are adapted to be legs). Lobsters can be known to live up to 100 years of age.
