[[File:Baron_Dante_logo.jpg|thumb|left|157px|Baron Dante's logo]]Baron Dante turns up in [[Forest Island]], where he orders his [[Dantini]] minions to capture as many of the [[Gobbos]] as they can, taking [[King Rufus]] for himself and locking him away in a [[cage]]. After discovering that [[Croc]] is rescuing his Gobbo companions, Baron Dante begins to turn various innocent creatures into monsters, each with the intention to stop Croc on his quest. But Croc is able to defeat them all and return them to their natural forms, and very soon, Baron Dante is left with no choice but to engage in combat with Croc himself.

▲This was the final showdown between Croc and the Baron. He fights in three waves and has three lives in each [[File:Final_battle.jpg|thumb|206px|The Final Battle]]wave. The first wave he tries to slam his fist at the ground to create shockwaves, or he just tries to hit Croc. The second wave Dante stands still in the middle of the arena and after a while tries to ram into Croc. The third and final wave he flies up and shoots magic at Croc. As his lives decrease he shoots more rapidly at Croc. After he decends he is vulnerable and Croc eventually defeats the Baron once and for all.

▲*Baron Dante was named after the Film director Joe Dante, the Baron part was added because 'It sounded evil.'
*Baron Dante, was originally called "Denver". The name was changed when the Lead Designer joined the Croc team and said "Denver? That sounds rubbish!"
▲*Although many believe Baron Dante wears an eyepatch due to missing an eye, an eye texture can clearly be seen at the bottom of the eyepatch texture, indicating he still has an eye under his patch (however, due to the game's old graphics, the eye's texture probably wasn't able to be changed).
*In ''Croc 2'', Baron Dante is seen throwing a dart at a picture of Croc on a dartboard. The picture is the cover art for the first game.
