Birth of the Lobster Cat: How Our Mascot Came to Be

It All Started with a Cat

I have a blue cat.

One day, it locked itself in the bathroom. Couldn't figure out the door. Just sat there meowing.

My first instinct wasn't to rescue it—it was: Can I turn this into a video?

That was the very first creative task I gave to Ima Claw after it went live.

I sent a photo of my cat to Claw (my AI lobster assistant) and said one sentence: "Make a short video based on this cat."

Claw spent 40 minutes selecting models, breaking the story into shots, generating video clips, adding music, and stitching everything together—delivering a 15-second film.

I spent 2 minutes. Claw worked for 40.

That was Ima Claw's first creation.

From Blue Cat to Lobster Cat

Later, I started thinking: Ima Claw needs a mascot.

We're an AI creation platform. Our logo is a lobster (Claw = lobster claw). But lobsters are cold creatures—not exactly cuddly.

Then I looked at that blue cat—the star of our very first creation, our "genesis story."

Why not combine the cat and the lobster?

And so, the Lobster Cat was born.

What Does It Look Like?

A hybrid creature of impossible cuteness:

• Gray-purple fur — inherited from the blue cat
• Lobster antennae — two reddish-brown feelers on top
• Pearl necklace — elegant yet adorable
• Orange-pink lobster belly — soft segmented shell
• Lobster tail — a fan-shaped tail at the back
• Big round eyes, tiny pink nose, happy little mouth — pure healing energy

Hand-drawn style with colored pencil and watercolor textures. Warm, soft, and instantly lovable.

Why This Mascot?

We considered many options:

• Pure lobster → Too cold, not approachable
• Pure cat → Too generic, no brand identity
• Robot → Too sterile, contradicts our "warm AI" philosophy

Lobster Cat is the perfect answer:

1. It has a story — born from our first creation, that blue cat trapped in a bathroom
2. It's distinctive — antennae + lobster tail + pearl necklace = unmistakably Ima Claw
3. It's warm — hand-drawn style, soft and cuddly, makes you want to pet it
4. It's capable — painting, editing, playing music, writing, designing, livestreaming
5. It's symbolic — the cat represents creative inspiration, the lobster represents AI execution power. Combined = a creative AI with ideas

A Creator and Her Lobster Cat

Looking back, the mascot's creation process is itself an Ima Claw story:

1. Start with inspiration (cat locks itself in bathroom)
2. AI executes (Claw makes the first video)
3. Unexpected creativity emerges (why not combine cat + lobster?)
4. AI brings it to life (Nano Banana Pro generates the illustration series)
5. One idea becomes a brand asset

This is exactly what Ima Claw does: turn every creator's spark into a finished piece.

And this Lobster Cat is the best proof of that.
