## Species Aligned With Industrial Rock & Cyberpunk

- [Japanese Spider Crab](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/japanese-spider-crab/) (*Macrocheira kaempferi*)
  - **Musical Match**: Justice, "Phantom"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Creeping synth arpeggios and a cut-up electro loop that keeps marching when pieces drop out, like a crab that can usually walk on with up to three legs missing and grow them back over its later molts.
  - **Superpower**: Longest Legspan of Any Living Arthropod
- [Purple Sea Urchin](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/purple-sea-urchin/) (*Strongylocentrotus purpuratus*)
  - **Musical Match**: Godflesh, "Streetcleaner"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Five teeth in a ring scrape algae off rock and dig hollows into it. Godflesh's drum machine and downtuned guitar grind in the same mechanical loop, one scrape after another.
  - **Superpower**: Scrapes algae with five teeth and digs hollows in rock
- [Scaly-foot Snail](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/scaly-foot-snail/) (*Chrysomallon squamiferum*)
  - **Musical Match**: Godflesh, "Like Rats"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Dense, overlapping scales cover its foot, and they and its shell are often mineralised with iron sulfide built from iron in the vent fluid around it: mineral plate armor matching the mechanical endurance of industrial rock.
  - **Superpower**: Foot scales and shell often mineralised with iron sulfide, and a heart that's about 4% of its body volume
- [Shoebill Stork](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/shoebill-stork/) (*Balaeniceps rex*)
  - **Musical Match**: Nine Inch Nails, "Head Like a Hole"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Clanking industrial rock, for a bird that waits without moving for hours, then pitches its whole body forward onto a lungfish in a lunge called "collapsing", and whose pairs often greet each other at the nest by clattering their bills.
  - **Superpower**: Massive clog-shaped bill with sharp edges and a sharp hook, used to grab large prey such as lungfish in a lunging strike called "collapsing."
- [Tiger Shark](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/tiger-shark/) (*Galeocerdo cuvier*)
  - **Musical Match**: Ministry, "N.W.O."
  - **Biological Rationale**: Frenetic industrial metal tempo and grinding samples, for serrated teeth that saw chunks from much larger animals with a back-and-forth shake of the head.
  - **Superpower**: Deeply notched, serrated teeth that, with a saw-like shake of the head, tear chunks from much larger animals and can pierce sea turtle shells
