Description

 * The Crites are small aliens resembling porcupines or hedgehogs. They have large rotund bodies, covered in a haze of black fur. In the first film, the Crites' fur is styled so that their stomach is shown, but in subsequent films, it too is covered in fur. They have small limbs, with tiny claws on both hands and feet. They have large mouths filled with multiple rows of sharp teeth, which they use to attack prey. Their nose is wide and flat, and they bear signature red cat-like eyes, which sometimes appear flourescent from a distance. The Crites appear slightly larger in each sequel, and their fur appears more wild and spiky, as opposed to slicked back in the first installment.

Trivia

 * The Critters are most likely the inspiration for Stitch as they are both mischievous aliens that escape from captivity and that can roll into a ball, as well as sharing a scene where they bite into a tire and inflate.
