Dr. Crygor is an elderly mad scientist and
cyborg who performs quirky, yet harmless experiments and constructs various inventions at his
private island laboratory in
Diamond City. Dr. Crygor is additionally one of
WarioWare, Inc.'s original employees. As such, he appears in every
WarioWare installment except
WarioWare: Snapped! and
WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase. He is also often accompanied by his granddaughter,
Penny, and his two robots,
Mike and
Doris 1. As with the other
WarioWare series characters, Dr. Crygor was designed by
Ko Takeuchi. His distinguishing attributes and traits include his red nose and angular V-shaped mustache, his cybernetic equipment and cryogenic suit, a rather stocky build, a frequent need to go to the bathroom, and high intelligence. Dr. Crygor's equipment consists of a metal helmet on his head, a visor with a glowing red eye, metal gloves, and metal boots. His name comes from the term "
cryogenics" and the name "Igor", likely in reference to
the character from Universal's Frankenstein film series.
