Spider Crab

Even though it isn't needed and the real-world animal isn't a real spider, I think Minecraft could benefit from having a "underwater spider" and should put "the Minecraft interpretation" to use. The spider crab would be on the sea floor and unable to swim up (as spiders and crabs don't swim very well) and would always be hostile. it would have the same health and attack damage as a normal spider, but could grab on to you to prevent you getting away, either killing you or causing you to drown. The Spider crab would be rare in the normal ocean, but would be fairly common in underwater caves. if the spider crab was capable of walking onto dry land, it would do so, but would be slower because it is not used to being on land.

    It would be neutral and would not be able to grab you, but it would be capable of throwing you like the iron golem, except even farther. Also, did I mention it would be three blocks tall.
