[[Image:Baron Dante.jpeg|Baron Dante|thumb|right|250px]] Baron Dante is the evil sorcerer in [[Croc! Legend of the Gobbos]] and [[Croc 2]]. 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 Boss Level cutscene, depicting him turning innocent, harmless creatures into evil monsters intent on stopping [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] in rescuing the [[Gobbo]]s. But every single one failed, turning back into the harmless animals they were before, and when [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] got to Baron Dante's island, Baron Dante was forced to fight [[Croc (Character)|Croc]] himself.
[[Image:Baron Dante.jpeg|Baron Dante|thumb|right|250px]] Baron Dante is the evil sorcerer in [[Croc! Legend of the Gobbos]] and [[Croc 2]] and the primary antagonist of the series.

After Baron Dante was defeated, [[Croc (Character)|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 (Character)|Croc]] defeated it, it shattered into hundreds of crystals, one of which [[Croc (Character)|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. He made several attempts on the brave crocodile's life once more, and has even gotten a new dartboard with Croc's picture on it.
