The Chowmein-Conga (also known as Medium Ming Kong Crabs) are minor enemies in Metal Slug 3.

Information

Born as a result of the nuclear test on Pallas Island, these mutated crabs have a fairly armored carapace and attack in close range by stabbing with their claws. They can can also spew acidic foam bubbles for long range attacks. The bubbles can be destroyed with bullets or close range attacks. They are very weak and can be killed with a simple melee attack.

Metal Slug: Awakening introduces variants of Conga and are a common enemy. The Atlan Army also utilizes the use of Congas roaming around the Midnight Triangle.

• The Congas are based on the Warrior Bugs from Starship Troopers. The Congas originally started out as heavily resilient enemies but were toned down to the strength of an ordinary crab.
