A blue lobster has taken social media by storm, and it's left a lot of us feeling very confused and a little bit afraid, but also weirdly attached to the little guy. The lobster in the famous photo is what's known as a "cotton candy lobster," a rare color. Sure, he's kind of cool, but we're not really sure why he's become such a huge deal online. Well, we love randomness, so I guess it makes sense.

Lately, he's been showing up in just about any type of video you can imagine. He's pretty entertaining, somehow. He's sort of a jump scare at times, but also a random and unexplained reference at other times. The blue lobster can leave you feeling any sort of emotion depending on its context in each video, from fear to amusement to confusion to all of them at once. Here are some of the best blue lobster memes honoring our new friend.
