Cupcake Crab is a Quest and Merchant NPC, uniquely only able to buy items. He can be found in Noobia, southeast of the Spawn Elevator, right beside the path that leads to Shindo.
Appearance[]
Cupcake Crab is a hybrid of the Cupcake and Crab creatures, hence the name.
Quest[]
As of Version 200291, Cupcake Crab also becomes a Quest NPC. He gives the Colors Of The Sea Quest, which has the player get four Shells of random color to give to Cupcake Crab.
Upon completion, Cupcake Crab will reward the player with a Magic Bean, which, when placed, grants access to the Sky Dimension.
Items Sold[]
Despite being a Merchant NPC, Cupcake Crab is unique, as he does not have any items to purchase. Instead, a player can only sell items to him, but he will give a lower price for an item than if it's sold to the item's designated Merchant. For example, Super Jam is priced at 150 Coins if sold to Octo Kitty but for Cupcake Crab it becomes 44 Coins.

Trivia[]
- Cupcake Crab is...
- The second NPC to not sell anything, the first being the original Vitamin Ape.
- The only Merchant to not sell anything.
- The first NPC to have a quest (Version 200291).
- The first NPC to not be located in a town proper.
- The second NPC without a house, the first being Pineapple Pig.
- Cupcake Crab is incredibly useful for earning gold coins and getting rid of unwanted items in the game, because he would buy absolutely anything - even if the item cannot be sold elsewhere. Though, the lower prices hurt.
- Cupcake Crab is implied to be a criminal of sorts.
- He himself states that he has "scammed the wrong hybrids" in his questline dialogue, and it caused him to be banned from the seas and from bakeries.
- Because of this, and his unreasonably low selling prices, he can be assumed to be a scam artist or con man.
- It is not known who the "wrong hybrids" are, though they are assumed to be influential or having power of sorts, as they managed to get Cupcake Crab banned from his natural habitats.
- Cupcake Crab's current demeanor may have also been a direct effect of the community, for his unreasonable lowball offers have become subject of memes and hate towards the character. As it is unlikely that TFH originally planned for this, it's safe to say that Cupcake Crab's current state is fanservice.
- He himself states that he has "scammed the wrong hybrids" in his questline dialogue, and it caused him to be banned from the seas and from bakeries.
