Scut
Pronounced: Sk-ut. Rhymes; nut.
A small, twenty limbed crustacean with a copper coloured shell that inhabits coastlines the world 'round. Many different subspecies of Scut are known, with the brilliantly rainbow coloured Tropical Scut (Scucius Equatoris) being the most famous. They grow to around the size of a (flattened) tennis ball, have eight legs on each side and two sets of pincers (two primary, two secondary) at the fore. Their mandibles are suited to eating very small fish, plankton, and even various kinds of seaweed. The Scut is eaten by many different species, and has only survived by being numerous, widespread, and almost inedible to species not intelligent enough to open their shell. The shell itself is so hard as to keep the Scut safe even when dropped from a large height, but for a being with a knife is child's play to open.
