The Yashimodoki (ヤシモドキ) is a large breed of crustacean with the appearance of a coconut tree plant.
Anatomy[]
The Yashimodoki is a large crustacean with a round main body which has four long legs on each side and two large beefy chelas with small green pincers at the end. Its most notable trait is its long palm tree-like neck which even has leaf and coconut-like growths coming from the top, giving it an excellent camouflage. At the top of its tree neck is a small beak-like mouth with a row of sharp teeth.
Behavior[]
It is a daring animal that will ambush human prey that are even traveling on gigantic transports like the Gourmet Carriage without fear of the Giga Horses. It will cooperate with other animals, such as the Roboster to capture food.
Abilities[]
Its unique coconut tree-like appearance likely gives it an excellent camouflage and beasts that may attempt to grab its "fruit" will instead be grabbed by its vicious maw. It is a strong and skilled climber, easily capable of scaling the large outer haul of the Gourmet Carriage without much difficulty in order to reach the lounging area of the deck. It also appears to be skilled in ambushing its prey and will work with other animals to do so.
History[]
Toriko's Break Arc[]
A Yashimodoki along with a Roboster attacked the deck of the Gourmet Carriage as it was passing by the Islandhorse. Luckily the two crustaceans were soundly defeated by Coco and Sunny, who had been on the carriage's cruise at the time and they sent the two beasts flying high into the sky with their attacks. The two unlucky beasts then landed on the nearby Islandhorse and fell on top of some unsuspecting Broccobats and a Black Soil Snake (which had been chasing Komatsu and Safla, instantly knocking them out.
