Lobster originally is a creature type for cards which depict a type of large marine crustacean.
History
Lobster retroactively debuted as an acorn creature type in Unglued. Rock Lobster originally only appeared as an artifact creature without a creature type. The type was later added to the card in Oracle and appeared on the card when it was reprinted in Unsanctioned
The type also appeared on Loopy Lobster from the Mystery Booster set, and became eternal as of Edge of Eternities with Ragost, Deft Gastronaut.
Homarids and camarids
After Naga had been incorporated into the Snake type and Cephalids into the Octopus type, it was discussed if homarids and camarids should retain their creature type or should be incorporated in the Crab or Lobster type.[1] So far, no action has been taken but Mark Rosewater expects that Homarid will be retired as a creature type if Creative choose to use them in a new premier set.[2][3]
