Please look up proper taxon classifications... Crabs have stiff mandibles and no "soft tissues" in the sense that mollusks do and the musculature would be unable to support "soft" outer tissues.

Mollusks are nothing but soft tissues and musculature, and difference is a mollusk CAN support both "hard" and "soft" tissues. Also her head is literally an Ammonite head (or nautilus head) as it has the tendril/tentacle facial features AND the armored head flap to cover the soft bits so she can retract her head inside the shell. She has a ridge structure on said flap that might mean her eyes remain uncovered so basically she can just turn into a walker tank. Trust me she is in that family... it helps that her hibernation location was once an inland sea called the Tethys infested with ammonites and where ammonite and mollusk evolution went absolute bonkers (giant squid that possibly got larger then blue whales happened there).
