| | A '''Cractyl''' is a flying, googly-eyed, purple pterodactyl in ''[[Wario World]]''. Since they possess the ability to fly, [[Wario]] must jump and [[Wario Punch|punch]] them, or perform a [[Corkscrew Conk]] to hit them. Any of his powerful moves can then be used. Cractyls also have a nasty tendency to pick Wario up and slam him into the ground. However, this attack can be easily avoided if the player jiggles the Control Stick enough to free Wario. They also enjoy dropping cannonball that materialize out of nowhere on Wario. The cannonballs explode after a short time, damaging Wario if he's in the blast radius. |

They are flying, googly-eyed, purple pterosaurs. Their name is a pun on {{wp|pterodactyl}}. Since they possess the ability to fly, [[Wario]] must jump and [[punch]] them, or perform a [[Corkscrew Conk]] to hit them. Any of his strong moves can then be used. Cractyls' main attack is to lift Wario into the air and perform a move similar to the [[Piledriver]], slamming him into the ground. However, this attack can be easily avoided if the player jiggles the Control Stick enough to free Wario. Starting in [[Greenhorn Ruins]], Cractyls can also drop [[bomb]]s to attack Wario. The bombs explode after a short time, damaging Wario if he is in the blast radius, but can be thrown back at enemies if Wario is fast enough. | |
