Crab Alignment Chart

Crab Alignment Chart Purist Crab must be in the subphylum Crustacea Neutral Crab must be in the phylum Arthropoda Radical Crab must be in the kingdom Animalia Purist Crab is fully aquatic Reginald is a crab Neutral A sea spider is a crab Radical A tuna is a crab Neutral Crab lives near water A hermit crab is a crab Damselflies are crabs A gull is a crab Radical Crab lives anywhere An isopod is a crab A bumblebee is a crab You are a crab

A chart classifies increasingly broad definitions of what counts as a crab, from a purist requiring a fully aquatic crustacean to a radical claiming that almost any animal, including a tuna, gull, bumblebee, or isopod, is a crab. The joke comes from applying alignment-chart logic to absurd biological classifications and escalating the definition until the viewer is also declared a crab.
