Name[]

The species currently has no official name or designation. Series developer Brian Duffield gives it the nickname "Croc",^[1][3][4] and is referred to as "Croc Monster" in the show's design sheets.^[2]

Design[]

Appearance[]

Similar to standard crocodiles, these creatures possess large osteoderms and scutes that extend along their dorsal surface in three rows in triangular patterns, serving as protective armor. Notably, the central row of osteoderms is slightly larger than the other two. Despite their massive bodies, these creatures exhibit a relatively small skull in proportion to their overall size. Their jaws are lined with numerous needle-like teeth, and their pale yellow eyes appear to lack discernible pupils. Most strikingly, these creatures possess four limbs with cat-like characteristics, allowing for exceptional terrestrial mobility. This unique limb structure also enables the creature to briefly assume a bipedal stance.

Personality[]

The predatory behavior of the crocodile became apparent as it quickly initiated pursuit upon detecting the presence of the lost teenagers, Mike and Charlie. It exhibited a relentless drive, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to pursuing its prey. Notably, the crocodile displayed remarkable tenacity by exhibiting a willingness to throw itself down a massive waterfall in order to maintain the chase. These observations highlight the crocodile's instinctual predatory behavior and its ability to adapt its hunting strategy to overcome obstacles in pursuit of securing its prey.

Abilities[]

Jaws strength[]

Similar to other crocodilians, the monster possessed a formidable weapon in the form of its powerful jaws. With a single bite, it was capable of inflicting severe damage and mutilating human bodies within a matter of seconds. The sheer force and efficiency of its jaws allowed the monster to ravage its prey swiftly and effectively.

Claws swipe[]

The creature displayed forelimbs with elongated proportions, resembling those of felines, and featuring sharp claws. This unique limb structure allowed the creature to effectively slash at its prey, potentially causing significant harm. Notably, the forelimbs appeared to be slightly longer than the rear limbs, providing an additional advantage in its predatory pursuits.

Speed and agility[]

The feline-like limbs of the crocodilian monster provided it with improved mobility and agility when navigating on land. This anatomical adaptation granted the creature enhanced speed and maneuverability, enabling it to effectively pursue and capture prey outside of its aquatic habitat.

Semi-aquatic nature[]

Though the creature spent most of its time submerged underwater, it was capable of leaving the water to pursue prey on land.

Intelligence[]

The crocodilian monster displayed an advanced level of intelligence by actively avoiding rivers with waterfalls when hunting. It demonstrated strategic thinking by staying close to the shorelines of rivers and areas where it could easily jump onto land to continue pursuing its prey. By adapting its hunting strategy based on observing its current situation, the monster demonstrated a smart and calculated approach to maximize its chances of a successful hunt.
