Lobstermen

The Mating Rituals of the Lobstermen

• Name: Lobstermen
• Homeworld: Unknown
• Classification: Lobsters
• Creator: Masamune... okay, actually Lobster Man From Mars
• First Appearance: Gamehiker Member OG 2

Background

Lobstermen are a race of aliens that serve the Ushutarians as their foot soldiers. They were conquered so long ago there's not much point really thinking about it, now is there? They are the ultimate in expendable soldiers and tend to die left and right, especially when they are no longer useful (and have explosive devices implanted for just that reason).

Good Timeline

The Lobstermen were used as the ground forces in Gamehiker Member OG 2 when the Ushutarians invaded Earth. They nearly had an uprising against their masters, but forgot why and willingly allowed theirselves to be enslaved again. Their commander was known as Lobsterio. They were none too bright and when the Gamehikers escaped them, they just killed eachother instead. It was revealed in Gamehiker Member OG 3 that Roy survived being possessed by the Carrotcake King, but while falling fought a Lobster-Man (probably Lobsterio) on the way down. Despite claiming to have killed him, it's more likely he was just bragging about not dying. Also he was parodying Gandalf's return in Lord of the Rings, so.

They were involved in taking over Earth in the year 2065 and in Ultimate Galaxy Goers are still the loyal grunt forces of the Ushutarians. They are once again faced in an arena, but don't fare much better even in the future.

Origins

• Aside from Lobster Men being a pretty common gag, they are actually based on the Space Pirates of Metroid fame, to the extent of having lasers in their claws.
