The Crackler was formed by the brainwaves of a man named Sydney Walker, who was undergoing Theta wave therapy to cure his insomnia. While the experimental therapy sent Walker into a very deep slumber, it also amplified his brain waves, and, due to his having suppressed his anger for 45 years, allowed his subconscious to create a physical, purely electromagnetic and non-living entity. The being then attacked locations Walker would have hidden anger towards, such as his loud, arguing neighbors in his apartment building and his hazardous job at a bus station.

The Crackler appeared out of nowhere and drained the energy of a lone building in Manhattan, [[New York]], and destroyed much of it, disappearing soon after. The [[H.E.A.T.]] crew investigate. [[Mendel Craven]] uses [[N.I.G.E.L.]] to analyze the air, and Mendel suggests that whatever attacked the building could have originated from inside. [[Niko Tatopoulos]] gets a call from [[Monique Dupre]], who says that the monster is in the city's bus yards. Nick takes Mendel and N.I.G.E.L. over there, while the others stay behind.

Nick took Mendel and N.I.G.E.L. to the bus yards, while the other members of H.E.A.T. stayed behind.


The Crackler appears in the bus yards and destroys a few buses. Monique soon meets up with Nick and Mendel, and Monique and Nick go to save some people trapped inside a building from the Crackler, while Mendel sends N.I.G.E.L. close to the Crackler to get a reading on it. Monique and Nick untrap the people, but the Crackler destroys the front of the building and does not allow them to escape. Nick leads everyone to another part of the building, but the Crackler destroys the way to the exit. Nick comes up with a solution and everyone escapes. N.I.G.E.L. catches the Crackler's attention, and so the Crackler destroys it. N.I.G.E.L.'s readings indicate that the Crackler is made up of pure electromagnetic energy. The Crackler chases Monique, Nick and Mendel and corners them. However, [[Godzilla/Godzilla: The Series|Godzilla]] arrives just then. Godzilla uses his atomic breath on the Crackler, but it absorbs the energy of Godzilla's breath and grows bigger. Godzilla starts attacking him physically, and brings up a cloud of smoke when he hit it into a parking lot. The Crackler disappeared.
The Crackler appeared in the bus yards and destroyed several buses. Monique soon met up with Nick and Craven, and worked with Nick to save some civilians trapped inside a building by the Crackler, while Mendel sent N.I.G.E.L. close to the Crackler to get a reading on it. Monique and Nick rescued the civilians, but the Crackler destroyed the front of the building and prevented them from escaping. Nick led everyone to another part of the building, but the Crackler destroyed the way to the exit. Fortunately, Nick managed to lead the civilians to another escape. N.I.G.E.L. caught the Crackler's attention, prompting the monster to destroy the robot. N.I.G.E.L.'s readings indicated that the Crackler was made up of pure electromagnetic energy. The Crackler chased Monique, Nick and Craven and corners them. However, just then [[Godzilla (Godzilla: The Series)|Godzilla]] arrived on the scene. Godzilla used his atomic breath on the Crackler, but it absorbed the energy from the attack and grew larger. Godzilla began attacking the Crackler with his physical attacks, and created a cloud of smoke after hitting it into a parking lot, after which the Crackler vanished.


Back at the building, [[Elsie Chapman]] and [[Randy Hernandez]] are investigating Sydney Walker. They discover that he's quiet, never complains, and that he works with electricity, which he got shocked with all the time but never complained about. When [[H.E.A.T.]] comes back together, they theorize that Walker secretly hates his job and everyone around him. Mendel dubs the creature "The Crackler", and Elsie tells Nick about a place where they might find out more about Sydney Walker. Nick, Monique and Mendel go looking for the Crackler, while Elsie and Randy go to find out about Walker. Elsie and Randy ask for Walker, but the secretary denies there was anyone called Sydney Walker in that building. Randy sets off a cherry bomb sound, sending everyone outside, as he hacks into the computer and finds out Walker is in lab 13. They go inside and find two scientists, who reveal that they were trying to cure Walker's insomnia. After they put him to sleep a week before, they were never able to wake him up again. They tried various stimulants to wake him up, and it only managed to cause various spikes in Walker's brainwaves at certain times. The brainwave spikes correlate to the Crackler appearing. Walker is theorized to subconsciously control the Crackler with his extremely suppressed anger.
Back at the building, [[Elsie Chapman]] and [[Randy Hernandez]] investigated a man named Sydney Walker. They learned that he was quiet, never complained, and that he worked with electricity, which electrocuted him all of the time though he never complained about it.

Craven dubbed the creature "the Crackler," and Elsie told Nick about a place where they might find out more about Sydney Walker.

Walker's brainwaves spike once again, and the Crackler appears near a baseball stadium. Monique, Mendel and Nick use a gun that shoots the same electromagnetism that the Crackler is made up of at it, but it partially fails, as it does make the Crackler collapse to the ground, and the Crackler shoots at them. They escape the van, which gets destroyed, and call to check on Elsie and Randy. Elsie unplugs wires connected to Walker using a special suit, but the Crackler was still at the baseball stadium and was attacking everything in sight due to Walker not controlling it anymore. The Crackler rampages and crouches near a body of water, intending to use its electric attacks, but [[Godzilla/Godzilla: The Series|Godzilla]] suddenly jumps out. Junior and the Crackler fight, as Walker wakes up, with the Crackler still fighting Godzilla. Nick, Mendel and Monique conduct their electromagnetic guns at a flagpole, which ends up quickly shooting a beam at the Crackler, who was about to use his attack on Godzilla. Godzilla burrows underground, pops out behind the Crackler, and drags it down. The Crackler surfaces and tries to run away from Godzilla. Meanwhile, Walker is getting annoyed by Randy, which has a negative effect on the Crackler. Junior catches up with the Crackler and dodges an electromagnetic jab straight to his face. The Crackler picks up a giant metal globe and prepares to throw it at Godzilla. Nick encourages Randy to keep annoying Walker, and so he does until Walker snaps, letting his suppressed anger escape his subconscious. The Crackler throws the globe at Godzilla, and he fires his atomic breath at the globe, setting it aflame and launching it at the Crackler, making the Crackler explode.

The Crackler is an electromagnetic projection monster who appears in episode 7 of Godzilla: The Series, "What Dreams May Come."

Design

The Crackler has a lanky body structure with four legs with one claw on each foot, and two arms with three fingers on each. Its head contains six eyes and features two tusks on the lower jaw and a horn at the tip of its snout.

Origins

The Crackler was formed by the brainwaves of a man named Sydney Walker, who was undergoing Theta wave therapy to cure his insomnia. While the experimental therapy sent Walker into a very deep slumber, it also amplified his brain waves, and, due to his having suppressed his anger for 45 years, allowed his subconscious to create a physical, purely electromagnetic, non-living entity. The being then attacked locations Walker would have hidden anger towards, such as his loud, arguing neighbors in his apartment building and his hazardous job at a bus station.

History

"What Dreams May Come"

The Crackler appeared out of nowhere and drained the energy of a lone building in Manhattan, New York City, and destroyed much of it, disappearing soon after. The H.E.A.T. crew investigated. Mendel Craven used N.I.G.E.L. to analyze the air, and Craven suggested that whatever attacked the building could have originated from inside. Niko Tatopoulos received a call from Monique Dupre, who said that the monster was in the city's bus yards. Nick took Mendel and N.I.G.E.L. to the bus yards, while the other members of H.E.A.T. stayed behind.

The Crackler appeared in the bus yards and destroyed several buses. Monique soon met up with Nick and Craven, and worked with Nick to save some civilians trapped inside a building by the Crackler, while Mendel sent N.I.G.E.L. close to the Crackler to get a reading on it. Monique and Nick rescued the civilians, but the Crackler destroyed the front of the building and prevented them from escaping. Nick led everyone to another part of the building, but the Crackler destroyed the way to the exit. Fortunately, Nick managed to lead the civilians to another escape. N.I.G.E.L. caught the Crackler's attention, prompting the monster to destroy the robot. N.I.G.E.L.'s readings indicated that the Crackler was made up of pure electromagnetic energy. The Crackler chased Monique, Nick and Craven and corners them. However, just then Godzilla arrived on the scene. Godzilla used his atomic breath on the Crackler, but it absorbed the energy from the attack and grew larger. Godzilla began attacking the Crackler with his physical attacks, and created a cloud of smoke after hitting it into a parking lot, after which the Crackler vanished.

Back at the building, Elsie Chapman and Randy Hernandez investigated a man named Sydney Walker. They learned that he was quiet, never complained, and that he worked with electricity, which electrocuted him all of the time though he never complained about it. When H.E.A.T. finally reconvened, they theorized that Walker secretly hated his job and everyone around him.

They tried various stimulants to wake him up, and it only managed to cause various spikes in Walker's brainwaves at certain times. The brainwave spikes correlated to the Crackler appearing.

Godzilla: The Series

The Crackler was a monster made of pure electromagnetic energy that was created by boosting the brainwaves of Sidney Walker in an attempt to cure his insomnia. After his first rampage in the city, H.E.A.T. and Godzilla arrived to try and stop it. It quickly destroyed their research probe N.I.G.E.L. before attacking Godzilla with balls of electricity in three separate segments throughout the first level.

Trivia

  • The Crackler shares some similarities with the kaiju Gabara from All Monsters Attack. Both monsters come from a character's dreams, both possess electrical attacks, and both have roars that sound like cackling laughter.

References

This is a list of references for Crackler. These citations are used to identify the reliable sources on which this article is based. These references appear inside articles in the form of superscript numbers, which look like this: [1]

  1. 1.0 1.1 Toho Kingdom Monster Profile: Crackler
  2. Godzilla 1954-1999 Super Complete Works. Shogakukan. 1 January 2000. p. 65. ISBN 978-4091014702.

Notes

  1. While the Crackler's profile on the now-defunct official website for Godzilla: The Series stated its height as 56 meters (~184 feet), Randy Hernandez gives its height as 300 feet (91.44 meters) in the Godzilla: The Series video game for the Game Boy Color. It is possible this reflects the Crackler's growth after absorbing energy from Godzilla's atomic breath.
