— The Spy on how endangered Spycrabs are It's the only one of its kind! And it's mine! ”

The Spycrab is a community-created promotional cosmetic item for the Spy. It adds a crab which sits on the Spy's left shoulder. The crab has a team-colored cigarette and a team-colored balaclava, similar to the Spy's, though the balaclava goes over the crab's legs and pincers, which grow out of the top of the head.

When players equipped with this item kill an enemy unassisted by another player, the killfeed shows everyone in Pyroland that it gets the assist, with its custom name if it has one.

This item is awarded in Genuine quality to players who purchase a Spycrab Plush from the Valve Store or WeLoveFine and activate the code sent with it.

The Spycrab was contributed to the Steam Workshop.

Trivia

The item is a reference to a longstanding and very popular animation bug with the Disguise Kit in which the player appears to crouch and walk like a crab. This bug was also referenced by one of the Disguise Kit's taunts.

A silhouette of this item also appears on the texture used for the Woodland Warrior, a skin for the Rocket Launcher that appeared in the Gun Mettle Update.
