It is notable that in Critters 4, the Krites do not utilize their poisonous barbs. If they encounter more than one human, or they feel sufficiently threatened (such as a lone Krite encountering humans) they will generally shoot poisonous barbs that can knock out targets until the barb is removed. The bleached Krite seems to take leadership in Critters 3, while the bald Krite in Critters 4 takes dominance. The largest Krite in the first film seems to take leadership of the pack, while the same happens in Critters 2 (although it is in fact Ug posing as a Krite). While rolling, they can gather momentum enough to 'launch' from a position and reach quite long distances. In order to travel, Krites can walk, but will commonly tuck into a ball (like hedgehogs) and roll. Generally, Krites will attack in packs and one single Krite will initiate the attack, while others attack afterwards to bring prey down. Krites behave mischievously, but have a vicious appetite that makes them deadly when hunting for food. If a Krite feeds enough it may reach large sizes. In order to grow, a Krite must feed at least once. When first born however, Krites are understandably much smaller when fully grown. A Krite in Critters 2: The Main Course has its hair shot off by one of the bounty hunters, which is repeated in Critters 4 on the lead Krite. For example, a Krite in Critters 3 rolls in some bleach, burning its face and bleaching part of its fur white. Certain Krites have various unique features in the context of the film. They've been described in various ways, such as being like rats, possums, Tasmanian devils, badgers and porcupines.

The Krites appear slightly larger in each sequel, and their fur appears more wild and spiky, as opposed to slicked back in the first installment. Their nose is wide and flat, and they bear signature red cat-like eyes, which sometimes appear florescent from a distance. They have large mouths filled with multiple rows of sharp teeth, which they use to attack prey. They have small limbs, with tiny claws on both hands and feet. In the first film, the Krites' fur is styled so that their stomach is shown, but in subsequent films, it too is covered in fur. They have large rotund bodies, covered in a haze of black fur. The Krites are small aliens resembling porcupines or hedgehogs. In the first film, their vocal effects were provided by Corey Burton who also provided the voice of Reverend Henry Kane in the last two Poltergeist films.

On October 22, 2018, it was announced that SyFy (originally known as Sci-Fi) was in talks to acquire the rights to the movie Killer Klowns from Outer Space and the Critters film franchise in order to produce new sequels to both properties. In the first film, there were only 8 Critters (there were 10 at one point, but they were so rapacious that while on their way to Asteroid prison their escorts had to kill two of them in order to make their provision last longer) but in the second film, there are possibly half a hundred that form an entirely large rolling ball to go faster into feasting on humans.
