Of the existing animations of crabs, the most famous is probably Sebastian from Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' (1989). He is highly expressive and has a large face in comparison to his body. He has no nose, but the face is still very human-like in shape which allows it show more powerful expressions. Having two claws is especially useful as the character can gesture with two limbs, while having (multiple) legs to support the body still, which is also human-like. The character will need to express human emotion, so it should be more effective having these features.
Some 3D models of crabs already out there are very realistic, somewhat realistic and cartoon-like. For the purpose of a children's villain, a cartoon style would work better. It would also be simpler to model and texture. This will all serve as inspiration when modelling.
