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.<ref>{{Cite|This fishlike monster is said to settle disputes with another of its species purely by the magnificence of its bulbous crowns.|Fi|SS}}</ref> 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 (Dragon)|Faron]] and the local [[Parella]].<ref>{{Cite|Eeep! Don't eat me! Whaaa?

Oh, they're back! That's one of the fish that weirdo brought in here and used to attack Her Excellence.

Cranioc is derived from {{Wp|Skull|cranium}}, referring to their large heads.
