I've used this:

#declare Skin = texture {
   pigment {
     crackle turbulence 0.2 octaves 2
     colour_map {
        [ 0   rgb <.0,.1,.0>]
        [ 0.1 rgb <.3,.5,.1>]
        [ 0.4 rgb <.3,.4,.2>]
        [ 1.0 rgb <.5,.5,.1>]
     }
   scale 0.3
   }
   finish {Shiny ambient 0.2}
   normal {
     crackle 2
     turbulence 0.2
     scale 0.3
   }
}

How about the difference of two sphere_sweeps

#declare Thing =
sphere_sweep { b_spline 5
  <0,0,0>,     1
  <0,1,0>,     0.6
  <0,1.5,0>,   0.55 
  <1,2,0>,     0.3
  <2,2,0>,     0
}

#declare Claw =
difference {
 object {Thing}
 object {Thing translate <0.011,0.001,0>}
 plane {y,0.75}
}
