A cheliped is not a separate body part but rather a term used to describe a specific type of limb in crustaceans, such as crabs and lobsters. Each crustacean typically has one pair of chelipeds, which means they have two chelipeds in total. In addition to chelipeds, crustaceans have other legs, with most having a total of ten legs, including walking legs and the two chelipeds.
