# Paras (Japanese) #001 — S3: Infinity Zone

## Summary

Paras has been a Kanto cave-dweller since the original games, the little mushroom-backed crab whose odd charm has kept it a quiet favourite with fans for decades. On this Japanese Infinity Zone common, released in June 2020, it sits in autumn leaves, orange claws spread and tiny spotted mushrooms on its back. Darkness Ablaze carried the English version two months later, so Japanese copies came first, though a bulk common stays a charming binder filler. A $0.60 modelled guide with no copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
