Cyrax is the leader of all the aliens. Before Presto's egg hatches, he appears. In order to get the Presto egg, you have to defeat Cyrax. He can summon Mini-Sylvesters, miniature versions of Sylvester, and all aliens you've encountered in Adventure Mode.
Anatomy
Cyrax has 6 blue tentacles, a green body, 5 black circles around his head, which may be his eyes, and a giant brain-like head.
Stories
After losing the legendary Battle of Tank 5, Cyrax moved on and eventually became host of his own late night variety show. Some people call it a cerebral high-brow interview program, while critics have deemed it a lowest-common-denominator sleaze-fest. There is certainly no end of controversy to his show, and Cyrax wouldn't have it any other way.
Trivia
