The crab tooth[1] was a tooth used by the crab monster, endowing it with the ability to control anyone it desires. The crab tooth formerly held a Prismatic Blade.
History
Background
At an unknown point of time, a Prismatic Blade was stored within the tooth which somehow came into contact with the crab monster.[2]
Gangs of the Sea
At some point in time, someone bestowed an ordinary crab with the crab tooth, causing it to enlarge in size and gain the abilities of mind control and firing concentrated beams of energy through the tooth.
The Crab Monster used the Crab Tooth to mind control the Ocean gang through the use of the Control crown and forced them into seizing control of the algae farmers' village, facilitating its insatiable appetite for consuming all the algae within the vicinity. After driving out the villagers, the crab fired a beam of energy from the tooth to push their escape craft far away from the village.
Some time later, two ninja arrived at the village, seeking help to repair their ship, which had sustained damage. The Crab Monster responded immediately by attacking the pair, using its connection to the control crown through the crab tooth to order the Ocean gang to "destroy the interlopers."
During the evening hours, some time after its initial encounter with the ninja, the Crab Monster encountered the two again, the pair having brought back the exiled villagers in an effort to reclaim their village. Using the tooth, the Crab Monster dictated orders to the Ocean gang and participated in the fight itself, firing beams of energy. The battle ultimately ended after Lloyd struck the Crab Tooth, dislodging it and causing it to sink into the sea. With the source of its power gone, the crab monster shrank back to its original size and fled back into the ocean.
Elemental Clash! (non-canon)
The tooth was later recovered and was delivered to the Temple City Museum. (non-canon)There the museum director intended to analyze it in the research department. Later that night, however, someone put the tooth in the ninja's tournament quarters, controlling Nya, who then attacked the other ninja. After Nya was far away enough from the tooth to remain under its control, the ninja became suspicious as to who put it in their quarters and returned it back to the museum.
The Great Zane Robbery
Rox fished the tooth out of the ocean before shattering it to obtain the prismatic blade housed within.
