A menace rises from the depths. Again. For the second time just this month. Rarity is on the case… and she’s not the only one.


Proofread and described by FoME.  Ideas bounced off of Bugsydor.

I am tremendously pleased to have been a part of this. Including putting the wig and bow tie on that sharktocrab.

Don't worry, I was already planning on replacing that arm with a set of tentacles for the Ravnica Allegiance prerelease.

Where did you get the cover art?

It's all in the Author's Notes link. That blog post contains pretty much everything that is responsible for what you see here. FoME helped, which you can see above.

(edit) Upon considering that people might not have read the story before wondering such things, this is the relevant blog post:

My god, somebody actually did it.

Aww, I was hoping Vinyl was gonna be some sort of simic-abomination/pacific-rim-kaiju too. Or that at least what they changed into was based off what they ate.

Now somebody should do a 'would it matter if I was' parody, but replacing the unsaid 'a changeling' with 'a minion of Bolas'.

I've seen Rarity fighting a giant crab I've seen before in a Elder's Scroll crossover but I certainly didn't expect the mareshark bit so well played.

Well, that was fun.

It was nice seeing how the ideas that bounced off of me congealed into this amalgamation.

And you left just the right amount of detail unsaid.

:twilightangry2: "Well, you betrayed all of us and let our universe get taken over by an unfathomably ancient dragon, so yes! It matters!"

I helped with a title! :derpytongue2:

This was brief but fun. I only wish there was more of it! Crab Hunter Rarity deserves further adventures, and I like this crime-... er, crab-fighting Vinyl and Tavi. :raritywink:

You did! Your title was simply too apt for me to ignore.

This was brief but fun. I only wish there was more of it!

Why do you think I ended it this way? :trixieshiftright: Honestly, it's not the first time I thought about writing something longer (but only marginally more serious) about Rarity fighting giant crabs. I do not, however, have plans to do that in the immediate future; I still owe Admiral Biscuit (and myself) a story about an airship mechanic that I've been sitting on for months.

This is a true work of art.

Ah, Rarity vs crabs. Always a classic.

Oh my God, this was awesome! :raritystarry:

Such praise. :pinkiesmile: It means a lot to be getting these kind of comments so consistently; they're more effective than caffeine for building up my motivation to write. Thanks! :twilightsmile:

It may have been a stupid silly joke, but I don't think I have the capacity (under normal circumstances) to not care about writing such things up properly.

This still counts as praise to me. Arguably my favorite kind.

I thought about it, but Vinyl turning into a jumbo shrimp seems a little underwhelming. Also, I did find several arts of Vinyl being a shark (not a shrimp), so I tossed that on the 'potential memes that I'm bundling into this story' pile.

I refuse to take any blame! D: I also demand a sequel!

Okay but this is really the last straw

I refuse to take any blame!

Totally your fault anyway.

I also demand a sequel!

I dunno…. In due time, maybe. I'd probably cave a lot faster if there were a whole angry mob here demanding it, but the "7 tracking" doesn't carry much weight. I'm glad you enjoyed it despite what it is.

I love Sharktavia. I need to write the other chapters to the one I made, finish it up.

Sharktavia for the win.

I thought it was a Moana ref story. But no. Or just sorta. Krasis!

"Brightly Colored Unicorn Syndrome" - Lol! Lavender Unicorn Syndrome ref!
