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. Starting in [[Beanstalk Way]], Cractyls drop [[Spiked Ball]]s instead of bombs, making them significantly more dangerous.
