'''Basic Trope''': A large crab is fought as a boss
* '''Straight''': In ''Tropetales (NES): Remastered'', Crabulous Maximus, a twenty foot wide crab, is the third boss.
* '''Exaggerated''': Crabulous Maximus is the size of the multiverse, and flings universes as an attack.
* '''Downplayed''': Crabulous Maximus is 6 feet, the size of a real eurypterid, but much bigger than any present crabs.
* '''Justified''': This is a fantasy realm where building-sized crabs are a natural species.
* '''Inverted''': The protagonists are huge crabs, and the villain is a party of adventuring ducks.
* '''Subverted''': The crab appears, only to be eaten by a giant fish, who is the real boss.
* '''Double Subverted''': Upon the fish's defeat, the crab bursts out and takes his role as the boss fight's second phase.
* '''Parodied''': You see a giant crab walk onto the scene, only for the camera to reveal that that was a view through a magnifying glass, and the crab is tiny. Everyone still acts scared.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': The crab boss changes sizes as a gimmick. It alternates between huge and tiny form.
* '''Averted''': The game doesn't feature any crustaceans.
* '''Enforced''': "Alright, how do we make this shooter set in Nazi Germany more cool? I I know! Let's have the nazis build a huge friggin crab!
* '''Lampshaded''': "Holy Crab! That's one big crustacean"
* '''Invoked''': The main villain pulls a MakeMyMonsterGrow on a normal crab, designing a boss with the hopes of destroying the heroes.
* '''Exploited''': The hero uses his knowledge of crabs to take out the boss.
* '''Defied''': The crab appears, only to be cut in half by an antihero side-character, with the remark, "I hate crabs"
* '''Discussed''': "Ah Great. A beach level. Watch the boss be some huge crustacean."
* '''Conversed''': "Awww. Such a cute crab. I'm just glad it isn't godzilla-sized."
* '''Implied''': At the end of the Tropetales movie, you see the shadows of pincers arrive on screen, and the heroes gearing up for a fight.
* '''Deconstructed''': The giant crabs cannot survive due to the lack of oxygen.
* '''Reconstructed''': The setting is a very oxygen-rich environment.
* '''Played for Laughs''': The big bad has a quirky miniboss squad, each with different color schemes, but their final forms are all various neon colors of crabs.
* '''Played for Drama''': The crab is redeemed, and sacrifices himself to save the heroes.
* '''Played for Horror''': The crab is a boss in a horror game, and is actually a monstrosity made of rotting flesh and bones.
