Description
...is this a thing? Rarity vs a giant crab. So random. (Value study ~ 1 hour)Edit: OK, I did some research and for those of you, like me, who were wondering... Whatsapokemon commissioned many artists to draw Rarity fighting a crab, and it has begun to catch on as a meme. Β Apparently he had no other reason (other than being random) to request art of this specific subject.
My best guess was that the original concept came from two internet phenomena: The Giant Enemy Crab derives from an awkward E3 game presentation which "features battles which actually happened in Japan" where you fight said crab. (More info ) And Rule of the Internet #35.2 (from rules of the internet ), states, "If no pony is found of it, it will be made." As a result, we now have Rarity fighting crabs.
Edit2: This was featured by the Cutie Art Crusaders in Episode 43 - Crab Battle! Thanks for the critique, and I made a quick correction to Rarity's anatomy. Thanks for pointing that out! : D

Rarity has been having a lot of trouble with crabs as of late.
She's also been fighting large crustaceans. (rimshot)

I think rarity vs giant crab has become a meme because...
Well it's rarity vs a giant motherbucking crab! What's more awesome?

Yeah, it's pretty silly. I'm guessing it caught on after the first person came up with the idea xD
Thanks!

I think calling the crab ugly oughta crack it's emotional shell as well.

*In David Attenborough's voice* Despite having developed a excellent natural protection against their foes, crabs never quite got over their petty insecurities.
