Crunchers are vicious blue cousins of Chompies in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, found at Crystal Eye Castle. If a Cruncher is not defeated before getting near a Skylander, it will sink their teeth in and won't let go (jiggle the control stick or remote to shake them loose).

Trivia

• They are the second rarest type of Chompies, as they appear in a single level in the first game and afterwards only in spinoffs.
• The Crunchers that appear inside of the three towers in Crystal Eye Castle are much larger than the ones that appear in the outside part of the level, being larger than most Skylanders.
• In the 3DS versions of Spyro's Adventure and Giants and in some levels of Swap Force, the standard Chompies look identical to Crunchers.
