larger, more rounded version of the Krites. Their faces and eyes are larger, with a fluorescent, glowing red instead of the dull bleeding red from earlier films. Their fur is thicker, curlier, and spikier than before and appears to be blacker than the brownish tint seen in the second film. The skin is also lighter than before. In the third and fourth films, the Krites look about the same in every aspect, although their eyes appear duller in the latter film. In the reboot, the Krites have an appearance similar to their design from the first film. Their hair is a lot messier, their teeth got smaller, and their stomachs became hairless again. Some of them also have bald heads. Reproduction Not much is mentioned regarding the reproduction habits of the Krites, as no information is shown in the films or given in interviews by the creators. They are portrayed with a need to eat before laying eggs, but how they produce eggs in the first place is never revealed. No mating rituals are shown or discussed in the films. In Critters 4, Charlie tells Fran that it takes six months for Krite eggs to incubate. This is contradicted in the previous installment, when the eggs from the beginning of the film hatch in what appears to be a span of just a few hours, and in the second film, where eggs laid in the first film appear to have remained dormant for two years before they were found. How many eggs a Krite can produce at one time is not revealed. It may be that temperature has an effect on Krite eggs, seeing as the eggs in Critters 2 and Critters 3 seemingly hatch in response to close proximity to heat (a heater and the underside of a truck, respectively). This also appears to be a factor in Critters 4 and Critters 2 in which the eggs lie dormant when cryogenically frozen or left in a cold drafty barn and hatch almost immediately when exposed to a warmer temperature. Extremely cold temperatures also seem to have a detrimental effect on eggs, as hairless hatchling Krites are shown in Critters 4 when the eggs are laid in a cold incubator. Diet Krites are exclusively carnivorous. The idea that is eating more and more increases the Krite's size, eventually leading to a Krite becoming the alpha or dominant in its group,
