Herman the Hermit Crab is a mutant hermit crab, member of the Mighty Mutanimals and an ally of the turtles from the IDW turtle comics.
IDW Comics
Herman began his life as a simple hermit crab, who was for sale in a pet store in New York City, before he and a gecko were stolen by the mutant alley cat Old Hob, and his associate Lindsey Baker injected them with mutagen, to serve him as new recruits in his mutant army in the fight against humanity.
Appearance
Herman is a giant hermit crab wearing a green army outfit, his right claw is bigger than his left one and according to his species he uses a waste container as a shell, the container is wrapped to his body like a backpack, which also houses a number of military weapons in it including a 7.62mm mini-gattling gun, grenades, mini missile launcher, anti-aerial artillery, a 4 shot bazooka and submachine gun.
Personality and traits
Within the Mighty Mutanimals, Herman fulfills the role of a living tank and support of heavy weapons. All weapons which are hidden in the container are controlled and triggered by the 2 pairs of rear legs inside the "shell".
His personality is deeply military-oriented—he considers himself and his comrades all to be soldiers and uses exclusively military jargon in his conversations.
