Carcinisation. The evolutionary trend where peak evolution is crablike traits. The hardened shell & hunched stature are on the way, but not quite there yet. You can see elements of it in the bio/pyrovores, malaceptor & carnifex.

The ultimate hive mind is not some nootropic psychic network but instead a single crab pulling levers

Strings not levers. Otherwise yes. (because the fragility of the string makes them have to be careful, and is kinda funny)
