Cranioc

Craniocs are enemies in SS undefined.

Characteristics
Craniocs inhabit underwater environments, such as Lake Floria, Lanayru Sand Sea and the flooded Faron Woods. Their heads bear large, bulbous crowns which they use to attack prey, as well as to settle disputes between others of their species by tackling one another. If a Cranioc spots Link, it will turn orange and charge at the young hero. To defeat them, Link must spin into them, which will stun them and cause them to flip over, exposing their scarred underbellies. After this, Link only needs to spin into them once more to kill them. Craniocs in Lanayru Sand Sea can be shot with Skipper's Cannon.

In his assault on Lake Floria, Ghirahim had commanded Craniocs to attack the Water Dragon Faron and the local Parella. A lone Cranioc can be found guarding the door to the Water Dragon's lair in the Lake's waterways, which Link must defeat before Jellyf can open the door.

Nomenclature
Cranioc is derived from, referring to their large heads.
