"I got a lobster! Lobjective complete." —New Horizons

The lobster is a deep-sea creature found at the bottom of the ocean. It is indicated by a circular shadow. Diving is the only way to get at it.

Donation to the museum[]

In New Leaf[]

In New Leaf, an information board in the aquarium will list information about this creature.

"Lobsters live in the ocean, have large, powerful claws, and are closely related to crawfish. They are a delicacy, also known by the names "crawfish of the sea" or "homard," their French name. However, unlike crawfish, they are much bigger and can live for more than a hundred years. Lobsters are aggressive and will pinch with their claws if you don't properly bind them while handling."

In New Horizons[]

Upon donation or selecting "Tell me more about this!", Blathers the curator will say:

"The lobster is rather famous for its two large claws. But did you know that, in fact, it has six claws total? Of course, the four tiny claws aren't as threatening as its large "crusher claw" is. That pincer can put a hundred pounds of pressure on in a pinch! Just a little something to bear in mind when a lobster tries to shake your hand."

Main article: Lobster on Wikipedia

Lobsters are a type of invertebrate and crustacean with species spread all over the world. They have an exoskeleton which protects them from predators, which they molt in order to grow, the downside being that they are vulnerable during molting. Lobsters come in different forms, clawless and clawed, but they all have ten legs (the claws on clawed lobsters are adapted to be legs). Lobsters have been known to live up to 100 years of age.
