==Characteristics and Weaknesses==
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]].
Craniocs inhabit aquatic environments, such as [[Lake Floria]], [[Lanayru Sand Sea]] and the Flooded [[Faron Woods]]. In his assault on [[Lake Floria]], Ghirahim commanded the Craniocs to attack the Water Dragon [[Faron (Dragon)|Faron]] and the local Parella.<ref>{{cite|Eeep! Don't eat me! Whaaa? You don't want to gobble me up? Oh, that's a relief. I've been hiding here for a while. Ever since that school of scary-looking fish swam through.|[[Parella]]|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Yikes! Oh, they're back! That's one of the fish that weirdo brought in here and used to attack Her Excellence. Watch out--they're mean as they come!|[[Parella]]|SS}}</ref> While she was distracted, Ghirahim had attacked and mortally wounded her.<ref>{{cite|Yeah, about that... It happened really recently. This weirdo came in here with a gang of monsters and went right after Her Excellence. My lady the Water Dragon is a fierce fighter, and, boy, did she gobble up most of those monsters in the first few seconds. Thing is, there were just so many of them! While she was distracted, the weirdo leading all those creatures managed to wound her!|[[Parella]]|SS}}</ref>


Their heads bear large, bulbous crowns, which they use to attack prey and settle disputes between others of their species by tackling one another. If a Cranioc spots [[Link]], it will turn red and charge at the young hero. To defeat them, Link must spin into them, which will cause them to be stunned and flip over, exposing their scarred underbellies. After this, Link only needs to charge into them once more to kill them.
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?
