Interestingly enough, I actually thought from the beginning of seeing the crab riders that they are zombies or under some kind of mind control (this was when I first saw them and had no idea what was going on) so I like this in my headcanon. If there are magic shells and pocketwatches and stuff, maybe the mermaids have the power to turn dead bodies into crab rider zombies. Or, even better yet, maybe the crabs themselves are actually controlling the riders rather than the other way around, kind of like a parasite. I only thought this because the rider's glowing eyes seem very zombie like and only the crabs seem to make any noise (the insect like screeching).
