The Mutant Giant Squids left tar on the surface of [[Jamaica]]n waters as a part of their digestive system, and [[Elsie Chapman]] and [[Mendel Craven]] were called to investigate them. They soon deduced that the tar was a form of external digestive system, but the Squids quickly coated them in their tar and dragged them under. They were soon rescued by the rest of [[H.E.A.T.]], and the Squids attacked them. H.E.A.T. rushed into the lower decks and were able to shut the door, but a Squid was able to tear it off. The largest one nearly caught [[Niko Tatopoulos]], but was killed by [[Godzilla/Godzilla: The Series|Godzilla]]. Several Mutant Giant Squids retaliated by working together to drag Godzilla down. This did not have the desired effect due Godzilla's amphibious nature. After surfacing, Godzilla terminated the remaining Squids, which prompted their predator, [[Crustaceous Rex]] to the surface due to a limited food supply.
Crustaceous Rex fed on the [[Jamaica|Jamaican]] population of [[Mutant Giant Squid]]s until they were destroyed by [[Zilla Junior|Godzilla]]. It then came to the surface in search of food. Crustaceous Rex proceeded to a nearby town, where [[Monique Dupre]] used explosives and flares to try and ward it off. Unfazed, C-Rex proceeded to a nearby highway and began to devour the newly poured tar on a highway as an alternative to the tar naturally produced by the Mutant Giant Squids.

Template:Ktab Template:TV Kaiju Infobox Crustaceous Rex (クラスタシオスレックス,   Kurasutashiosu Rekkusu) is a crustacean mutation Template:Kaiju created by TriStar Pictures that first appeared in the 1998 Godzilla: The Series episode, New Family: Part 2.

History

Godzilla: The Series

New Family: Part 2

Crustaceous Rex fed on the Jamaican population of Mutant Giant Squids until they were destroyed by Godzilla. It then came to the surface in search of food. Crustaceous Rex proceeded to a nearby town, where Monique Dupre used explosives and flares to try and ward it off. Unfazed, C-Rex proceeded to a nearby highway and began to devour the newly poured tar on a highway as an alternative to the tar naturally produced by the Mutant Giant Squids. When it approached the next tar patch, H.E.A.T. used it as a lure to bring it to Godzilla. Godzilla then defeated C-Rex using his atomic breath and forced the creature to retreat.

Monster Wars: Part 1

Crustaceous Rex was seen again on what would become Monster Island, under control of the Tachyons.

Monster Wars: Part 2

Crustaceous Rex was sent by the Tachyons to destroy London.

Monster Wars: Part 3

Due to the efforts of H.E.A.T., Crustaceous Rex was freed from the Tachyons' control and attempted to fight back against his alien overlords. He was quickly defeated due to the aliens' superior technology, but survived only to be captured by the United States military following the Tachyons' defeat. C-Rex was then relocated to Monster Island to be studied.

S.C.A.L.E.

While living on Monster Island, C-Rex and the other mutations were outfitted with inhibitor collars to keep them from hurting one another. During a raid from the terrorist organization S.C.A.L.E., Crustaceous Rex's enclosure was opened, and his collar was disabled. He began to run amok and fight with the other mutations, and was eventually defeated by Skeetera. After the threats of Skeetera and S.C.A.L.E. were removed, Crustaceous Rex and the other mutations were safely returned to their enclosures.

Future Shock

In an alternate future where the D.R.A.G.M.A.s overran the world, Crustaceous Rex and all of the other mutations on Monster Island were released by Anthony Hicks to fight them off, but were all slain. However, thanks to the efforts of H.E.A.T., this future was avoided.
