Dr. Gunther Cranius is a manipulative, megalomaniacal monster who physically resembles a car wash sponge.
History[]
Dr. Cranius was educated at Harvard (whether it was the "human" Harvard or some kind of monster university of the same name is unknown). In Mr. Stockley's youth, he was apparently in charge of guarding Dr. Cranius, but Dr. Cranius was able to manipulate Stockley into painting him black and catapulting him into a truckload of coal, allowing Dr. Cranius to escape.
Don't Talk to Dr. Cranius[]
Some years later, Dr. Cranius was recaptured and taken into the Lakewood Troop's custody.
During his interrogation, Dr. Cranius tricks Mr. Stockley into travelling to a false base for his latest evil plot, and proceedes to manipulate Jake, Hayley and Felix.
Eventually, Dr. Cranius is able to trick Felix into installing a security system which traps Jake and Felix and allows the former to escape.
Dr. Cranius goes to the car wash, and leaves his jar-like travel machine, hiding himself among the car-wash sponges. His minion, who has been waiting for him, picks him up and attempts to drive off with him only for the Troop to grab and recapture Dr. Cranius.
The sponge monster's cunning and manipulative talent proven, Dr. Cranius is locked in a containment cell with higher security than any other, never to be heard from again.

Dr. Cranius uses his vast intelligence and cunning to outsmart his enemies, and when he is captured by the Troop, he will try to manipulate the Troop member (or members) guarding him into helping him escape.
