Pincermen Compounds are large underwater humanoids, usually about two metres tall, with strong amphibious capabilities. They are the result of the Type "B" Melding Virus combining a man with an Oceanykan giant crab, which grants them two strong abilities: a large armoured exoskeleton comparable to a light tank's armour and a gigantic claw with a closing mechanism that can reach an acceleration of 6,000 g. Their mobility is comparable to an obese adult. A pincerman's preferred diet is meat, for which they will occasionally venture into coastal human settlements.
