Croodaceous Creatures
Throughout their adventure, the Croods encounter
tons of unique croodaceous creatures. The beauty of these peculiar animals that
they had never seen before amazed audiences across the world. Continue reading
below to learn all of the background information on these wild animals, and get
to know the Croods’ co-stars on a deeper level.
Join the Croods on the
journey of a lifetime in the epic comedy-adventure that "has the magical
wonder of How To Train Your Dragon" - Jake Hamilton (Fox-TV). When their
cave is destroyed, the Croods set out to explore a spectacular landscape filled
with fantastic creatures, strange surprises…and a whole new world of adventure!
Mousephant
The tiny blue mousephant is only 4 to 5 inches
in length and is often preyed upon by other larger croodaceous creatures. For
this reason, the mousephant uses it’s large ears to hear long distances and
tiny trunk to make loud, intimidating trumpet noises. This furry blue animal snacks on a wide array
of plants and, as seen in the film, often travels in packs.
Thunk’s favorite animal pal, the crocopup, is a
playful reptomammal. Crocopups use their large eyes, sharp teeth, and strong
jaws to hunt for food. Although the crocopup is about 200 to 300 pounds with
short powerful legs and a strong bite, they still have to be careful of their
main predator, the bear owl.
Macawnivore
If you’re a cat person like Grug, the
macawnivore would be the perfect pet for you! This 15-foot creature is a speedy
hunter that has no known predators from the whole croodaceous era. The macawnivore’s
colorful feather body and large saber teeth make it a beautiful sight to see in
nature.
Punch Monkey
The punch monkey’s large fists are used for
their favorite activity: fighting! Punch Monkeys use their tails as a third
hand, and are willing to fight anyone who intrudes on their territory. But, if
you offer them any sweet fruit such as a banana, you will be safe from their
powerful punch.
Piranhakeet
The piranhakeet is the most frightening creature in the
croodaceous environment. Each night, the piranhakeets fly from their
underground hiding place in a giant red swarm to find their next source of
food. These vicious birds leave nothing behind but the skeleton. However, their
fear of light makes them easy to defeat.
