"Ebirah's name is derived from the Japanese word ebi (海老?), meaning shrimp, even though he's actually a lobster. The "ra" (ラ?) part of Ebirah's name is a common suffix for kaiju names."

There is no reason to think Ebirah is a lobster. A lobster is a very specific type of animal. Ebirah does not fit the morphology of a true lobster; he's much more like a shrimp. There are plenty of shrimp that have claws.
