== Trivia ==
* Concept by undeary/vetris on the Creatures of Sonaria Discord server.
** The was primarily based on candles, the claws inspired by Avothious' talons, "but primarily this is what he was referenced from, he was an old concept about a year ago that wasn't thought of until recently when Halloween concepts were wanted" (quoted by concept creator).
* has purple blood.
** Due to that, when dying, it drops a purple carcass in Legacy.
** In real life, the change in color is caused by hemerythrin, a respiratory pigment of a purplish/violet color once oxygenated, replacing hemoglobin in several invertebrates.
* is one of the few creatures that have both toxin and bleed, others being Diokrine, Nakamaska, Undoli, and Zwevealisk.
* The 's name may be a reference to crypts, a stone chamber that will often hold bodies.
* The used Zethines health stats as a placeholder. This has now been fixed.
** formerly had ambush; this has since been removed as it was borrowed from when borrowed the stats of Zethines.
