The Lobster Cult is a fundamentalist religious cult that originated in the Principality of Crabcake. They performed acts of terrorism trying to force the Government to acknowledge and enforce the beliefs of the Lobster Cult. The government waged war against the cult and eventually captured the leader of the cult, the Red Lobster, and convicted him of engaging in acts of terrorism and had him executed. With the head of the cult dead, the rest of the cult easily fell and eventually disbanded.

Beliefs on the origin of life on Earth

They believed that all life on Earth originated from outer space by a race of super lobsters who used Earth as a place to throw out all of their used condoms. The super sperm eventually mutated into single celled organisms and began reproducing with each other. As this process continued they became more complex and eventually formed multicellular organisms. The first of which were believed to have a lobster like shape.

Terrorist actions

They seldom ever committed acts themselves. Instead the cult trained animals to perform acts suck as abductions, theft, and assassinations. They trained monkeys and other apes for performing abductions of government leaders or their families. They also abducted school teachers, police officers, religious leaders and even a talk radio host. They tried to use these hostages as leverage to make the government meet their demands. However the government refused to make any sort of negotiations with the cult.

The cult realized that abducting people wasn't getting them anywhere and they decided to simply start assassinating them instead. To perform this task they trained gerbils to act as assassins. Nobody would ever believe that such cute creatures were capable of murder. That was until the cult sent wave after wave of gerbils into the palace to assassinate the King Crab, as he was affectionately called by his subjects. King Crab was assassinated leaving the country in charge of his college bound son, Crabby. The Lobster cult tried on several occasions to assassinate Crabby as well, but failed on each account.

In 2003 the Lobster Cult managed to steal some nuclear material from one of Crabcake's new nuclear power plants. After the death of the Red Lobster they utilized this material in the production of dirty bombs. They detonated these devices littering the country with radiation. Most of the remaining members of the Lobster cult were killed in this act. Those that survived were either killed or captured by the government, or they gave up on their religion and converted to the Followers of the Almighty Crab.
