[[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.
'''Baron Dante''' is the primary protagonist in [[the Cold War]], [[JFK’s presidency]], and all other cans.
 
==Appearances==
[[File:Baron_Dante_logo.jpg|thumb|left|157px|Baron Dante's logo, found on the back of his cape and platforms in the Castle Island]][[File:BaronDantePortrait.jpg|thumb|A portrait of Baron Dante found in Castle Island]]Baron Dante is the central villain in the Croc series, and he has appeared in every Croc game to date.
 
▲===Croc: Legend of the Gobbos===
====Invasion of Gobo Valley====
▲* See [[Baron Dante's Invasion of Gobbo Valley|Baron Dante 1's Invasion of Gobbo Valley]] article for more details.
 
He appears, firstly, in [[Forest Island]] in the intro of [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]], where he is shown invading the [[Gobbo]]s and capturing them, along with his loyal [[Dantinis]]. He is then shown in every Guardian Level cutscene by turning innocent, harmless creatures into evil monsters, each with the intention to stop [[Croc]] from rescuing all the [[Gobbo]]s. Croc faced them one at a time and defeated them, turning back into the harmless animals they were before. In the process, he defeated [[Tooty the Feeble]], [[Flibby]] the Boxing Ladybug, [[Chumly]] the Rocket Man, [[Demon Itsy]], [[Neptuna]] the 'Fish', [[Cactus Jack]], and [[Fosley]] the Balloon Dantini. After Croc defeated them all, Baron Dante was forced to fight Croc himself.
====[[Baron Dante's Funky Inferno]]====
[[File:Final_battle.jpg|thumb|206px|The Final Battle]]
This was the final showdown between Croc and the Baron. He fights in three phases and has three lives in each [[File:Final_battle.jpg|thumb|206px|The Final Battle]]phase. In the first phase, he tries to slam his fist at the ground to create shockwaves, or he just tries to hit Croc. During the second phase, Dante stands still in the middle of the arena and after a while tries to ram into Croc. In the third and final phase, he flies up and shoots bolts of magic at Croc. As his lives decrease he shoots more rapidly at Croc. After he descends, he is vulnerable andto attacks, where Croc is eventually defeatsable theto Barondefeat oncehim. andHe forwas presumably sent to the [[N'th Dimension]] allafterward.

====Crystal Form====
After Baron Dante 1 was defeated, [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] then recovered the [[Jigsaw Pieces]] scattered in various places around the Islands, and then visited the mysterious Crystal Island where a strange creature that resembled Baron Dante 1 but is thought to be a totally different creature. It was called [[The Secret Sentinel]] and it fights in a large cross like arena (similarsurrounded toby thefour hospital cross symbol)gongs. After [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] defeated The Secret Sentinel, it shattered into many [[crystals]], one of which [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] picked up. This could likely be the reason Baron Dante 2 wears an eyepatch in [[Croc 2]], due to the fact he was reincarnated.
 
===[[Croc 2]]===
In [[Croc 2]], the [[Dantinis]] somehowwere resurrectedable the unforgottento evilbring Baron Dante 1back intofrom Baronthe Dante[[N'th 2.Dimension]], Hewhere he then planned to madeget severalhis attemptsrevenge on Croc. He kidnapped the brave[[Inventor crocodile'sGobbo]] life(who oncelater moreescaped), and hasbegan evencalling gottenfor avarious newminions dartboardto withdefeat Croc's picture on it.
 
After several attempts failed, Baron Dante 2 decided to confront Croc himself, on the mountain tops of [[Inca Village]]. Croc, driving the [[ProfessorInventor Gobbo]]'s plane, managed to shoot Baron Dante 2 off the mountain, where he retreated to the Bride of the [[Dungeon of Defright]], Croc following closely behind.
 
In the dungeon, Croc met and freed the [[Professor Gobbo]], and the two of them confronted Baron Dante 2 a final time on a dark mountain top. Croc protected the [[ProfessorInventor Gobbo]] from Baron Dante 2's evil magic long enough for the inventor to open a portal to another dimension and banish the evil being.
 
[[Croc (Character)|Croc]] was reunited with [[Croc's Familyfamily|his family]], as he had originally set out to do. However, as Swap Meet Pete predicted, Dante was not defeated. He managed to kidnap [[Croc's unbornFamily|Croc's siblingsparents']] (eggs) and bring them into his [[Baron Dante's Secret World|secret world]]. Croc freedrescued the eggs, but what became of Baron Dante after that is unknown.

==Followers==
===[[Dantini|Dantinis]]===
The [[Dantinis]] are veryall loyal to Baron Dante 1 and 2, with some people describing them as his followers, to others who say they are his slaves. However, no matter what status they are to him, he has complete control over them. He can order them to whatever he wants with no resistance whatsoever.

The Guardians featured in the Croc games are influenced by Baron Dante 1 and 2, and their primary purpose given to them by Baron Dante himself was to stop Croc at all costs.
