Did you know?
- In some Latin American dubs, the name is translated as El Cangrejo Cascarudo, which replaces the scientific word for crustacean with the common word for 'crab'.
- While Crustáceo is the direct translation for 'crustacean', in everyday Spanish it is a formal biological term and rarely used outside of science or menus.
- The word cascarudo is built from cáscara, meaning 'shell' or 'peel', and the suffix -udo, which is used to describe something with an abundance of a certain quality.
