The Crab Pig appeared in 2012 TV series called Toriko. The Crab Pig (蟹ブタ Kani Buta) is a large species of pig with red stripes on its back and six legs.
It is Zongeh's Meat Dish in his Full Course Menu.
The Crab Pig is a large porcine beast normally standing 2.3 meters in height and 4 meters in length. It has pink-colored skin with red Tiger-like stripes on its back. Its most notable feature is its six short stubby legs that enable it to cover ground quickly.
Crab Pigs are very alert and agile pigs, always staying vigilant of possible predators and ready to run with all its strength if its attacked. Its oddly pointy teeth and fangs may indicate that it is a carnivore or an omnivore.
The Crab Pig is considered a gourmet ingredient that combines the refined sweet flavor of crab meat with the light sweet fat of pig meat, which brings about an exquisite harmony. Because of it's elevated physical abilities, a Crab Pig's body is actually pretty dense with muscle, and lacks the expected fat. Its flesh tastes rich, lightly seasoned, and a lot like top-grade crab, hence "Crab" Pig. Since its capture level is based on how difficult it is to find as opposed to how dangerous it is, it can be served in Hotel Gourmet without difficulty on their part. Despite its low capture level, it is able to satisfy Terry Cloth, a Battle Wolf that only enjoys Gourmet World foods such as BB Corn. The only other Human World food that achieved this feat was the Jewel Meat of a capture level 48 Regal Mammoth.
At Hotel Gourmet Toriko eats roasted Crab Pig wrapped in Mantle Lettuce.
One was killed by Terry and Ob to give as a present to Toriko after he returned home from his long absence. They all then ate together and enjoyed the delicious meat of the Crab Pig.
