It's just crazy to me that it seems nature only evolved that punch on the Mantis Shrimp, unless there's some other animal with a similar super power I'm unaware of. Like, that 'seems' like the sort of thing that would be universally useful unless there's some big draw back.

Specifically speaking, Clauncher are based on pistol shrimp. They're similar in concept, though.
