| Red | The large pincer has 10000 hp of crushing power. However, its huge size makes it unwieldy to use. |
| Blue | The large pincer has 10000 hp of crushing power. However, its huge size makes it unwieldy to use. |
| Yellow | One claw grew massively and as hard as steel. It has 10,000-HP strength. However, it is too heavy. |
