Wario fights a Cractyl in Wario World.
Wario battles a Cractyl.

A Cractyl[1][2] is a flying, googly-eyed, purple pterosaur in Wario World. Their name is a pun on 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 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.

Aside from the basic Cractyls in Excitement Central, other varieties include Bone Cractyls in Horror Manor, Pigeons in Wonky Circus, Snow Bombers in Shivering Mountains, Hawks in Beanstalk Way, Haipōs in the Mirror Mansion, and Houhous in Pecan Sands.
