Crayk, Bane of Courage, (甲殻巨大種 レヤード, Shelled Giant: Reyaado) is the boss of the Temple of Courage, the third dungeon in The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Crayk is what appears to be a giant Hermit Crab.

[edit] Battle

Crayk has the ability to make itself invisible. It also sends out many smaller and weaker versions of itself to attack and distract Link. When at arm's length, Crayk violently grasps and squeezes Link with its massive claws. Ciela is able to detect Crayk and stay near it, so Crayk's point of view is shown on the top screen. To defeat Crayk, Link must shoot it in the head with the Bow to stun it and make it retreat inside its shell. Once hit, Crayk becomes temporarily visible, allowing Link to attack the weak points on its shell and eventually break it.

When Crayk's shell has been destroyed, Link can attack it's vulnerable tail with his Sword. When Crayk has taken enough damage, it is destroyed.

Upon Crayk's defeat, Link receives more sand for his Phantom Hourglass, half of the Spirit of Courage, and a Heart Container.
