One of the morph (body) options available to characters in Eclipse Phase are pods (from "pod people") -- biological bodies that were vat-grown as separate parts and then constructed together (quicker to grow and make then full clones), and controlled by a cyberbrain (usually by AI). While most pods are humanoid, this isn't a requirement. One common non-humanoid pod is the novacrab, bio-engineered from spider crab stock, as illustrated here by Robin Chyo (click for larger image). Yes, this means you can play a character who is a giant crab with a cybernetic brain.

Re: Novacrab Artwork
I can honestly say this is the first time I have ever thought..."I can't wait to play as a crab!"
