"These are the younger form of gargantuan zee-crabs - driven up from their spawning grounds in the south by peculiar radiations. Younger they may be, but they are still large enough to consume a pony with messy and clattering glee, or to pose a menace to ill-prepared ships."[1]

Auroral Megalops are large crustaceans with glowing golden bodies that roam the Unterzee.[2] These specimens are apparently juveniles of their species and possess blue blood;[3][2] uniquely for their species, they also possess large, non-vestigial eyes.[3]

Megalops meat is edible but often unstable and difficult to store.[4] Apparently, these crabs were driven from their southern spawning grounds by a mysterious radiance,[1] which may be none other than the Dawn Machine.[5]
