I think a scrab hat minus the forelegs plus some spines / spikes on the back of it must just about give you a meech. But those things look more like tusks than legs. The scrab does have a sharper mouth, but no tusks. So not a very clear meech.
On the other hand, bears even less resemblance to a fleech. It is as tall and sharp as the scrab hat, has spines, and has no tongue which is what fleeches are all about. I like the meech idea better.
