A '''Cractyl''' is a flying, googly-eyed, purple pterosaur 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.

A '''Cractyl'''<ref>''Wario World'' instruction booklet, page 24 (British English) or page 30 (American English).</ref><ref name=Fly>Stratton, Steve. ''Wario World: Prima’s Official Strategy Guide''. Page 13.</ref> is a flying, googly-eyed, purple pterosaur in ''[[Wario World]]''. 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 (object)|bombs]] 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.


Other flying enemies include Bone Cractyls, Pigeons, Snow Bombers, Hawks, Masked Crows, and Mummy Hawks. Some varieties drop spiked balls instead of or in addition to cannonballs.
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]].
