The '''Decapodians''' are a fictional race of humanoid, [[lobster]]-like aliens who speak with a [[Yiddish]] accent from the animated television show ''[[Futurama]]''. The Decapodians are natives of the planet Decapod 10 (meaning 10 legged), and made contact with Earth in the 2200s. Shortly afterwards, the Decapodians found the Earth [[anchovy]] so delicious, they promptly ate it into [[extinction]]. The Decapodians (oras at least [[Zoidberg]]) seem to actually be addicted to anchovies, which violently revives in Zoidberg when he eats a pizza with preserved anchovies Fry boughtexplained in "[[A Fishful of Dollars]]")."

Although there have been several minor Decapodian characters, the only main Decapodian is [[Doctor Zoidberg]], the [[Planet Express]] doctor, who is good natured, but has a poor understanding of human anatomy. (And even less knowledge of human social behavior, which doesn't seem to be as prone in other Decapodians)
