Background[]

Season 3[]

In " The Hermit Crab Shell Exchange" Chris and Martin activated Hermit Crab Power, but were quickly terrified due to their lack of shells, and were soon scared off by a seagull. Later after they caught sight of Gourmand they hid inside of a tire and a treasure chest, attempted to fight him off, but soon lost their newfound protection. After fleeing Gourmand they miniaturized themselves, but due to Gourmand pelting the Miniaturizer with doughballs they were slowly growing out of the shells they found and then headed towards the ocean. Upon arriving in the ocean the brothers realized they could not breathe and soon touched a marine hermit crab in order to do so, they then looked for more shells, found the shell exchange line, acquired new shells, and were turned back to normal size. Once they were turned back the brothers fought Gourmand and rescued the hermit crabs he captured.

Season 4[]

In "Stars of the Tides" Chris activated Hermit Crab Power to take on the harsh waves of low tide, but soon lost his shell, found some limpets and activated Limpet Power.

Trivia[]

  • This is the second crab-based Power Suit, the first being Yeti Crab Power.
  • Aviva said she couldn't program a shell on the suit, but in Stars of the Tides a shell magically appeared on Chris's back when he activated.
  • It was revealed in The Hermit Crab Shell Exchange, that in order to breathe underwater, Martin and Chris need to touch a Sea Hermit Crab. However, in Stars of the Tides, despite Chris touching a Land Hermit Crab, he could still breathe. It’s possible that Aviva made it so which ever type of Hermit Crab is touched, the Hermit Crab Power Suit can allow the user to breathe both on land, and in the sea.
