The stingcrab split off from the leatherback scuttlecrab in search for a safer home. It moved out into the Ittiz-Ovi Desert. Unlike its ancestor, it no longer in a symbiotic relationship with Testudohexapodia spherus. It has also adapted to the desert by developing a rusty red shell, which helps it stay camouflaged in the sand. The front legs have evolved into skinny claws, which are used to tear up food into bite-sized pieces. However, the large pincers are still used to grab and crush prey. They have also switched to a nocturnal life, which meant that their eyes had to get bigger.
It has also grown another set of legs, which are used to make a ball-shaped cluster full of eggs underneath the roots of a plurge. The one adaptation that gives the stingcrab its name is a large stinger, which is used to defend itself from predators.
