Cranioc unlike most enemies in the series, seem be much more social and more interactive with other Cranioc. They are said to have very strong rivalries between eachother. When two or more Cranioc spot their prey or Link they will fight amongst who should get to catch and eat their prey. To settle disputes most Cranioc shall simply claim the winner by which of the pack has the most magnificant crown but they will also simply get into a physical brawl.
