Hello, hermit crabs are extremely cute. I floated this idea in IRC it was well liked so here it is.
The idea is that the hermit crab critter would use various discarded items as a shell. Beakers, toolboxes, backpacks, boxes, bike horns and lots of other things besides. The name of the hermit crab changes depending on its shell (Electric toolbox hermit crab, Championship Wrestling Belt hermit crab etc.). When picking up an item with a hermit crab in it, it retreats inside. In the case of fillable items (beakers, glasses) chemicals cannot be put inside while the hermit crab is in there. In the case of storage items (boxes, backpacks etc.) it takes up a slot in the item and cannot be removed. When the items are put down again the hermit crab emerges once more and wanders around again.
