Crocodile

Useful Info

Crocodiles are large lizards that bite hard, drag their targets backwards, and have enough HP to take a few hits. Although rarely a major threat, don't underestimate them if you're playing a fragile character. They are usually found in certain sewer and ossuary maps.

Tips & Tricks

• Certain cold-based attacks may slow them, giving mages and light armour users time to soften them up from afar before getting in melee.
• Unlike trample, their dragging attack doesn't check your character's size.
• Just because you can handle a crocodile doesn't mean you can take on an alligator. Those Swamp inhabitants are much deadlier.

History

• Prior to 0.33, crocodiles dealt 18 damage with their bite, but had less HP and 1 less HD.
• In 0.31, crocodiles were reintroduced as sewer and ossuary exclusives. They got a new AF_DRAG attack flavour, which allows them to pull the target back.
• Crocodiles were removed in 0.26.
