Seattle fans are crazy about their Seahawks, no matter big or small, human or crustacean.

They're showing their support with the Seahawks just one win away from a Super Bowl berth, including the biggest little fan in the city.

Marshawn Pinch, named after Seahawks bulldozing running back Marshawn Lynch, is a tiny hermit crab at the Seattle Aquarium who has ditched his shell in favor of a toy-sized Seahawks helmet.

The crab was introduced to a national audience during the third quarter of Seattle's divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints last Sunday. The Seahawks won that game 23-15, moving on to the NFC Championship Game this weekend, and fans are hoping Pinch will be their good luck charm against the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers as well.
