Cryptogrif is the Ghouled version of the Hypnogrif. It has mind control powers. When someone gets hit by a Cryptogriff, they enter zombie-like state where they obey the slinger who shot them with the Slug. The Cryptogriff does not seem to need to actually leave the blaster to unleash its power, though this is unconfirmed because in Mission: Improbable, Mr. Saturday said he was running low on ghouls, which implies that he had more than one ghoul because they leave their blaster.

It also can read minds, as seen in "Dawn Of The Slug" when Eli thought to attack one. The effects of it can be reversed when using Mr. Saturday's Control Staff/Blaster and spinning the barrel the opposite direction it is supposed to spin in.

This is the signature slug of Mr. Saturday.

Trivia[]

  • This ghoul has been nicknamed the "Zombus" Slug because of its ability to turn people into mindless zombies.
  • In the episode "Dawn of the Slug", Mr. Saturday had a Cryptogrif which he used to zombify all the people in the mall.
  • Its name is derived from the word "Crypt" which is a burial place; this is most likely referencing the Cryptogrif's zombification powers.
  • A Cryptogrif was the first slug shown to die onscreen, as the Emperor's Cryptogrif exploded after the dark energy it was manipulating imploded.
  • It is said that the Emperor of the Eastern Caverns twisted Dai Fu to his will using this slug, some magic and Slug Energy.
  • The Emperor's Cryptogrif is different from others as its eyes are black with red irises (similar to Dark Servants), instead of red spiral patterns.
  • A Cryptogrif can see briefly in Back to Blakk, when Nacho shoots the Ghouls to create the portal in Stalagmite 17
