A vengeful earthbound spirit once tethered to a tunnel in Shono City, the Earthbound Spirit Crab formed from murdered girls and took a monstrous crab-like shape. Fused with Turbo Granny, it hunts Momo and Okarun until Seiko's trap finally exorcises it.
Shaped like an enormous freshwater crab, the spirit carries the slain tunnel girls' faces across the top of its shell. Its underside is grislier still, bearing two large eyes, a trio of noses, and four stacked rows of mouths.
The spirit's temperament softened under Turbo Granny's comfort, after which it watched over her with fierce devotion.
The creature came into being when several young girls were slain inside a tunnel in Shono City. Long before the main events, Turbo Granny stepped into that tunnel to console the grieving spirit, since it was made of girls who had died horribly, and the two melded into a single being.
Later, once Momo and Okarun seize Turbo Granny, the crab pursues them, desperate to release her before they slip out of the city. The chase leads it to an inn's bathhouse, where Momo's scheme dunks it in scalding water and slows it down as planned. Drawing on spirits from a nearby graveyard to puppet the townsfolk, it pins the pair and merges with Turbo Granny to finish them. When Momo's psychokinesis hooks a train bound for Kamigoe City, the fused monster keeps up the chase until it realizes Seiko has lured it into a trap, ending in the spirit's exorcism.

The transformation everyone knows, the follow-up question nobody would touch. Why we made a smooth R&B track about the golden glow Dragon Ball never talks about....
