Resembling a crustacean
Resembling or characteristic of a lobster—the large marine crustacean with claws and a segmented tail.
The comparison might describe physical features like a hard shell, reddish coloring, or pincer-like appendages: lobsterlike claws, a lobsterlike carapace.
It can also describe movement: a lobsterlike scuttle across the floor.
