I wonder if the mud crabs around the Imperial City in Elder Scrolls Oblivion where based on this?

- "...Rome’s crabs were between 13 and 20 percent larger than other members of the same species. The average Roman crab reached just over 2.7 inches (seven centimeters) in carapace length—a possible example of gigantism, where a population increases in size compared to its relatives."
