Krabby

Gold
If it senses danger approaching, it cloaks itself with bubbles from its mouth so it will look bigger.
Silver
The pincers break off easily. If it loses a pincer, it somehow becomes incapable of walking sideways.
Crystal
If it is unable to find food, it will absorb nutrients by swallowing a mouthful of sand.
