		Target lock: Cranioc This fishlike monster is said to settle disputes with another of its species purely by the magnificence of its bulbous crowns. When this creature chooses its prey, it will turn red with excitement and charge head-on. Stopping such an assault could prove difficult.

Craniocs are enemies that appear in Skyward Sword.

Craniocs are fish enemies that can be found in Lake Floria, Lanayru Sand Sea, and Faron Woods. They turn red and charge at Link when he is nearby. Craniocs use large bulbous crowns in their heads to attack prey and settle disputes with another of its species.

To defeat this enemy, Link must perform the Spin Attack, causing it to flip over and become stunned. Link must then perform another spin at the "X" on Cranioc's head, defeating it in the process.
