The Casket Crab appeared in 2015 manga called Toriko. The Casket Crab (棺桶ガニ Kan'oke Gani) is a legendary beast from the World of Souls that preserves extinct ingredients within its body.
The Casket Crab's body resembles a coffin with a crossbones symbol on it. It has segmented eyes and sharp teeth on its face. It has eight spiked legs and two scythe-like claws with one being larger than the other.
It seems to be a tame beast that only concerns itself with storing and preserving long-extinct ingredients and is used by the inhabitants of Blue Grill for special events.
Because of its unique power, the Casket Crab can be used to preserve all manner of legendary and extinct ingredients for all time. However the Casket Crab species appears to be under strict ownership of whatever ruling force resides within the realm of spirits, and special permission is required to summon one, as even Don Slime, the king of Blue Grill, needed to ask for permission to summon a Casket Crab.
A Casket Crab is used by Don Slime in the Grill Stadium match between the Five 10-Shell Cooks and five of the Top 100 Chefs. Once it is summoned, it releases two Leafish for Condor Window and Yuda to capture and prepare.
One appeared within the World of Souls' Kitchen of Food Spirits.

It has the ability to produce special bubbles that can contain special environments, like the Multi-Gravity Valley's. Its sharp scythe-like claws also likely give it a deadly offense.
