Pumpkin Crab Monster

The Pumpkin Crab Monster is the main villain of Lunch Walks Among Us, the first book in the Franny K. Stein book series.

Personality
The Pumpkin Crab Monster is very fierce and menacing.

History
The Pumpkin Crab Monster came to be when Franny threw her lunch of crab ravioli with pumpkin sauce into the trash. Shortly afterwards, other kids threw stuff in there, the discarded items including old gym shoes, used chewing gum and unstable industrial waste.

The industrial waste ended up mutating the trash can's contents into a crab-like monster with a pumpkin for a head who chewed gum and wore gym shoes, which then kidnapped Miss Shelly and tried to carry her while climbing the flagpole outside the school.

Franny saved the day by creating a Lunch Meat Creature to defeat the Pumpkin Crab Monster by hurling the fiend away with a swing of the flagpole after it was torn from its foundations.

The Pumpkin Crab Monster hasn't returned since their defeat at the hands of the Lunch Meat Creature, but was briefly seen by Franny when she went back in time to change her middle name in The Fran That Time Forgot and was one of the monsters Franny remembered dealing with in Bad Hair Day.
