Crab

A (Freshwater?) crab appears in Strange and Bright Nature Deity Chapter 12.

Crabs (蟹, kani) are crustaceans that can be found in both freshwater and saltwater.

Crabs in Touhou

Assuming that Gensokyo lacks any bodies of saltwater, freshwater crabs are among some of its native fauna. While there are youkai crabs in Japanese mythology, it is unknown if there are any in Gensokyo.
