Henry is a hermit crab who lives at or in the Big Pond and he is good friends with Shiny, Buddy, Don and Tiny. He is very kind to the kids and other creatures that live around the pond. Because of his small size he does not move very fast and loves to have fun. He first appears in "Shiny's Sea Shells" when he was having trouble finding a new one, until the kids found him a new one and lets Shiny keep his old one.
