Stalin's Revenge!

[jeregenest]

Millions of giant Pacific crabs, whose ancestors were brought to Europe by Joseph Stalin in the 1930s, are marching south along Norway's coast, devouring everything in their path.

The monster crabs, which can weigh up to 25lb and have a claw-span of more than three feet, are proving so resilient that scientists fear they could end up as far south as Gibraltar.

From the Telegraph go and read the rest of the article.

Stalin never made it to Gibraltar. But his crabs will. They will bury you! (okay wrong Soviet leader...)

Hee. Yoinked for my Silver Age Stalin Hellboy-supers game.

What happens when the giant crabs collide with the flotilla of rubber duckies you posted about last year?

Well there's every chance there is already a secret war of crab against rubber duck off the coast of Scandanavia

So they're like marine Uruk-hai, except they taste better in lemon sauce.
