How to Beat Cranioc
Stun them by hitting it against a wall or with a spin attack. Once they flip over, attack them on their stomachs.

Craniocs are dangerous underwater shark-like enemies first found in Lake Floria.

As they are underwater, you need to use your underwater combat abilities (such as spin attack) to defeat them.
