=Lobsters==Lobsterality===

[[Summary::Intelligent and understanding lobsters''Lobster are very personality.]]Lobsterality.''

Lobsters are medium sized look like lobsters. They're segmented chitinous-shelled creatures with that scuttle about on eight legs, though the front two large legs are often used to hold objects within their small claws . They have a pair of larger claws as their front limbs often used as weapons. Their eyes are small and two smaller pincer-like things that seem to be crude hands, small black eyes and long extend from a pair of eye-stalks at the front of their head along with several pairs of antennae. They have 6 legs going down A long, flat tail extends out the length back of there their bodywhich ends in a flat, segmented paddle-like appendage that allows them to retreat from threats and a large tailaids in swimming.

Lobsters keep to themselves come in a variety of shell colors and textures depending on their society for home region and subrace. Most lobsters are a majority dark rusty brown color, though some have highlights of the time for most folk find them off-putting due to their close resemblance to the extraplanar creatures known as Chuulblue, red, orange and other colors. Like in all societiesSandcrawler lobsters are a lighter shade of dull, there rusty brown. Trench lobsters are outcasts white or ivory and explorersoccasionally possess a shaggy, fur-like covering on their shells.

Lobsters normally live in have a difficult time getting along with humanoids, as the sea's but they two creatures are so vastly different… and many humanoids would rather just eat a lobster than try and bother making friends. Those that can get past the looks and occasional communication problem can so if they choose live on landeasily make friends with lobsters.

==Religion=Alignment===

Lobsters worship no god's in particular, but do favor those that relate to water and sea life'Lobster be what lobster choose want.''

The names of Many lobsters find oceanic homes suitable. They prefer areas away from other cultures as to not interfere with their routines. Lobsters typically congregate in lagoons or on deepwater outcroppings where currents bring food. Trench lobsters prefer deepwater vents where food is plentiful, though occasionally even they can be anythingfound near the surface in underwater cave systems. Sandscrawler lobsters prefer beaches and tropical or sub-tropical forests and jungles where they can scavenge for nuts, fruit and creatures trapped in tidal pools. A few lobsters take to living in inland lakes and rivers as their home, though almost never in temperate or colder regions, unless they adopt names from other culturesmigrate. Areas of muddy or cloudy water (such as some rivers and brackish areas) force lobsters to rely on their antennae to navigate.
