Why are they all attacking the kid?

It's a bit of a horror movie trope, where the protagonist is an 'other' and slowly swarmed by a group of identical or similar enough beings.

The implication being that their difference is not wanted and/or that they know too much about the situation which could be a threat, this further ties into the carcinisation joke because everything else has become a crab except for this one child.
