In genealogical references it behaves like a normal Chryatis: i.e. using its long forelegs to swipe at enemies and so on. If attacked, a Gorechryatis will enter a furious 'rage mode', rearing up on its hind limbs, flailing its front legs wildly, and then charging and swiping at everything in its path, including you. This attack can inflict serious damage on the player, enough so that even a slight hit from its feet is enough to kill you. This Akrid also appears during episode 6 of Lost Planet 2 when you enter the 2nd large clearing of the spawning grounds. The Lost Planet 2 version seems to be much larger, fiercer, and faster than the original, and also has the ability to spit a projectile explosive, much like the Raibee.
