From Wikipedia: Carcinization (or carcinisation) is an example of convergent evolution in which a crustacean evolves into a crab-like form from a non-crab-like form. The term was introduced into evolutionary biology by L. A. Borradaile, who described it as "one of the many attempts of Nature to evolve a crab". Most carcinised crustaceans belong to the infraorder Anomura.
It's good to be the LORD. At least, it is when you've got a dedicated and wildly overworked assistant to keep all that "world building" business on track.
