Baron Dante

Baron Dante is the evil sorcerer in Croc! Legend of the Gobbos and Croc 2. He appears, firstly, in Forst Island in the Intro of Croc! Legend of the Gobbos, where he is shown invading the Gobbos and capturing them, along with his loyal Dantinis. He is then shown in every Boss Level cutscene, depicting him turning innocent, harmless creatures into evil monsters intent on stopping Croc in rescuing the Gobbos. But every single one failed, turning back into the harmless animals they were before, and when Croc got to Baron Dante's island, Baron Dante was forced to fight Croc himself. After Baron Dante was defeated, Croc then recovered the Jigsaw Pieces scattered in various places around the Islands, and then visited the mysterious Fifth Island where a strange creature that resembled Baron Dante but is thought to be a totally different creature. It was called The Secret Sentinel. After Croc defeated it, it shattered into hundreds of crystals, one of which Croc picked up. This may be the reason Baron Dante wears an Eyepatch in Croc 2.

Croc 2
In Croc 2, the Dantinis somehow resurrected the evil Baron. Croc defeated him one more, and Croc was reunited with his family.
