Technically he is by all mythological standards. Oryx being a minor god in the hive pantheon who is definitely his father automatically gives him some sort of god status. Even if Crotas mother was a mortal then crota at worst would be a Demi god like Hercules or Perseus.

[quote]He's the son of a god He has a temple dedicated to him He has worshipers[/quote] ^^^ This makes him as much of a God as oryx. [quote]Son of a god does not make him a god[/quote] It does in every other mythology.
