Decapodians

Home Planet: Decapod 10

General
The Decapodians are a race of sentient, lobster-like creatures from Decapod 10.

Culture
Decapodians do most of their building with packed sand. Their government is a totalitarian dictatorship, and there is little freedom on their world, which leads many Decapodians to seek it on other worlds, like Earth. It seems that the Decapodian culture has taken over many things from Human civilization, including many Jewish stereotypes (although, because they're a form of shellfish, this is quite ironic).They sometimes settle matters of honor by Claw-Plach, a ritual battle to the death before a massive audience.



Politics and War
While usually seeming peaceful on the surface, they can be provoked to declare all-out war at a moment's notice. They will enslave the entire population of a planet with their army, and force them to build the tools of their oppressors. They once declared war on Earth, and were actually successful in enslaving the population. However, in spite of the successful completion of the Mobile Oppression Palace, they were defeated and Earth freed by Dr. Zoidberg (4ACV05).

Anatomy
Like lobsters or crabs on Earth, Decapodians have no bones. Instead they have an exoskeleton
