Crabby Cabbie is a Taxi cab-themed monster created by Lord Zedd, which appeared in the episode "Follow that Cab!".

He is later brought back to fight the Alien Rangers of Aquitar with Professor Longnose.
History
Lord Zedd had used Finster's vehicular transformer apparatus on the cab that Bulk, Skull, and Kimberly were riding in, transforming it into Crabby Cabbie.
The Shogunzords destroy him after freeing Kimbery, Bulk, and Skull.
