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 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 bombs to attack Wario. The [[bomb]]s explode after a short time, damaging Wario if he's in the blast radius, but can be thrown back at enemies if Wario is fast enough. Starting in [[Beanstalk Way]], Cractyls drop [[Spiked Ball]]s instead of bombs, making them significantly more dangerous.
Aside from the basic Cractyls in [[Excitement Central]], other varieties include [[Bone Cractyl]]s in [[Horror Manor]], [[Pigeon]]s in [[Wonky Circus]], [[Snow Bomber]]s in [[Shivering Mountains]], [[Hawk]]s in [[Beanstalk Way]], [[Haipō]] in the [[Mirror Mansion]], and [[Hōhō]] in [[Pecan Sands]].

In later stages, Cractyls are re-skinned to fit the theme of the stage, variously as Bone Cractyls, Pigeons, Snow Bombers, Hawks, Masked Crows, and Mummy Hawks.
