Cunaepraedator is a fictional species of crab that were created for Peter Jackson's 2005 film King Kong, but that did not make it into the film. However, they were used in Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie, and The World of Kong.
Design
Cunaepraedators are grayish-brownish in color. They have four pincer-claws, six eyes and six legs they use to walk. They appear in The World of Kong as brown, dome-shaped creatures with four, stubby pincers.
Name
The name Cunaepraedator means "nest-plunderer".
Ecology
Cunaepraedators were a species of coast-dwelling crabs that evolved beyond the need for water, and lived entirely on land. Females kept eggs in a special compartment under their bodies. The eggs were fertilized by males using their large pincers to tip females up and clasping their secondary pincers to the female's. The eggs hatch immediately into small crabs, with no larval stage. After a time of crawling over the mother, the infants would be gently brushed off on a seabird's nest, where they would grow and develop feeding on nest scraps or dead hatchlings. After the birds left the nest, so would the Cunaepraedators, and they would join their parents as adult scavengers.[1]
History

Books
King Kong: The Island of the Skull
While diving for pearls in the waters approaching Skull Island, Sam Kelley and his young associate Jason discovered enormous pearls before they were attacked by a Cunaepraedator. In the struggle, the crab used its claws to hew Jason in half. Fortunately for Kelley, the scent of Jason's blood attracted a shark which ate the Cunaepraedator before it could do him any harm.
