Unlike most underwater enemies, the Croctopus is completely invincible, as even Enguarde is incapable of defeating them. There are two types of Croctopus; purple ones who usually just swim in circles repeatedly, blue Croctopus that are dormant until passed. They will then give chase. As such, they are feared, and the real only way to escape defeat is to run, or swim, rather, out of their way. They appear mainly in the last part of Coral Capers and a majority of Croctopus Chase.
