* AntiAir: The Atomize ability will disintegrate hostile aircraft, and is the only way to destroy them.
* ArtificialStupidity: The vehicles and pedestrians are able to react to the monster, doing u-turns when they see the scary creature. However, they only do so at specific points, and if the monster is resting at a specific location, they will crash into the monster because they thought the monster was too far away at a previous turn point.

They're basically useless unless you want to destroy a building without having to bump into it a bunch of times. Mr. Meringue has a similar attack with all the same drawbacks, but which is even ''weaker''.

A 1986 video game by Creator/{{Epyx}}, which inverted the usual premise of you being the hero trying to save the day to having you control the big bad monster menacing the world. Overall it plays like a streamlined version of the earlier VideoGame/CrushCrumbleAndChomp Perhaps the most dramatic difference being that there are actual win conditions beyond achieving a high score, as opposed to ''CCC'' where eventually your monster '''will''' be brought down no matter how well you play.
