What has hard shell and stinger?

A creature that has a hard shell and a stinger is a type of crab, specifically the horseshoe crab. Horseshoe crabs have a hard exoskeleton and possess a tail spine, or telson, which can deliver a painful sting, although they are not dangerous to humans. Another example would be certain species of stingrays, which have a hard, flat body and a venomous stinger on their tails.
