==Info on Croc==▼
===Early childhood===▼
As Croc was an infant, [[Croc's Family|his parents]], may never return on their own because of [[Baron Dante]]'s existence on Gobbo Archipelago, Beany found his long lost parent's egg. So she put the egg into a basket, and then sent it to Gobbo Valley, in the hope that he would find sanctuary. They were in luck, for he washed up on [[Forest Island|Gobbo Valley]], which was inhabited by the [[Gobbos]], and was found by the King of all Gobbos, [[King Rufus]]. The Gobbos took him in and raised them as his own, and gave him the nick-name "Croc", which, for obvious reasons, suited him. Croc was originally, believe it or not, shorter than the Gobbos, reaching only to their chin. The Gobbos first gave him lessons on how to walk, which, originally, he was hopeless at, but within a few weeks was learning how to run. King Rufus then gave Croc personal fighting lessons, giving Croc the ability to fight the way a Gobbo does. He was a natural, accidentally knocking King Rufus out on his first attempt. One day, Croc grew to the height of three Gobbos stacked on each other. Croc was having a great life, and the Gobbos all liked Croc. It all seemed like everything was perfect. However, things were not as care free as they seemed.
 
== Creation ==
===Baron Dante's attack on Gobbo Valley.===
Croc was not initially meant to be a character in his own video game. After Argonaut Games had proved their worth of making 3D games to Nintendo, the company had proposed a 3D racing game starring the Mario series character Yoshi to Nintendo, which was supposed to be released for the ill-fated Super NES CD-ROM System. Nintendo declined, but the prototype went on to influence Super Mario 64 according to Jez San, the founder of Argonaut ltd. The project was later reworked and Croc was then born.
Croc and the Gobbos were enjoying a normal day, everything going as it normally did, when suddenly one a small earth tremmor occured, and the Gobbos all ran for their lives, completely taken by shock. Baron Dante 1, an evil sage, led his [[Dantinis]] in for an attack against Gobbo Valley. A few Gobbos escaped, but within the Chaos most of them were captured. Croc was determined to fight back, but King Rufus gave Croc a backpack, which he doesn't really seem to use much, and hit a gong, causing [[Beany Bird]] to come down and carry Croc to safety. Croc then decides to head out and save all the Gobbos that had been captured, and heads off for an [[Croc! Legend of the Gobbos|adventure]].▼
 
==History==
===Travelling through the Gobbo Archipelago===
▲=== Early childhood ===
Croc heads out to free all the Gobbos, and [[Levels|island by island]], takes out the Dantinis, saves the gobbos, and beats Baron Dante 1's [[Bosses|elite soldiers]], normal beings turned into horrible monsters. Croc saves all the Gobbos but one, King Rufus, so then heads out to save his guardian.
When Croc was an infant, his parents put him in a basket on the ocean and was sent to the [[Gobbo Archipelago]] in fear of [[Baron Dante]]'s presence in the Gobbo Mainland. He was discovered by the Gobbos, where their leader [[King Rufus]] treated him as his adopted son, teaching him how to walk and to perform martial arts. Once Baron Dante invaded the Gobbo Archipelago, King Rufus knew it was up to Croc to save the Gobbos. He sent him and [[Beany Bird]] on a journey to defeat Baron Dante and to save the Gobbos.

▲==Info= onIn [[Croc 2]] ===
Croc is first seen relaxing on a beach playing volleyball with a couple of Gobbos and King Rufus. While enjoying himself, Croc finds a[[The Message| message]] in a bottle from his [[Croc's Family|parents]] who have been looking for him, and his footprint matches the one on the paper confirming their connection. The Gobbos built a catapult so Croc can cross the ocean to the [[Mainland|mainland]], where he tirelessly runs through adventures, beats up the mean Dantinis, and fights his way through mazes, tunnels, and obstacles. Croc soon bests Baron Dante once again in the final showdown on top of a [[Dante's Peak|mountain]], and later defeating him for good in [[Dante's Final Fight]]. Afterwards, the [[Professor Gobbo]] takes Croc back to his family with a map he found. When Croc, his family, and the Gobbos are celebrating, [[Swap Meet Pete]] reveals he believes Baron Dante will be back, where he then steals the eggs of Croc's unborn siblings. Croc goes to Baron Dante's Secret Worlds and takes the eggs back. After he was successful, Croc returned to the mainland.

==The Gobbos==
Croc was rescued, raised, and taught by the Gobbos[[Gobbo]]s. King Rufus was his adoptive father. Therefore, when Baron Dante invaded Gobbo Valley and the rest of the Gobbo Archipelago, Croc felt it was his duty to rescue his adoptive family from the cruel clutches of Baron Dante.
 
His acts of bravery were paid back when the Gobbos built a statue of him in his honour.
 
==[[Croc's Family|Family]]==
Croc's family werewas introduced in [[Croc 2]]. He is known to have a father, mother and little brother.
* See [[Croc's Family]] for more info.
 
==Quotes==
Sometimes Croc will says things and make noises, most of the time when heshe's performing an action - e.g. tail-whipping and stomping
 
*"HurrpHup" - When he pulls himself up off a ledge
*"ThereHee we goyup" - Something else he says when he pulls himself up off a ledge
*"An' a splat!Uh" - whenWhen doinghe grips onto a tail-whipledge.
*"Ah,Ker yousplat!" - Whenwhen doing a tail-whip
*"Ah-whop!" - When doing a tail-whip
*"YAZOO!" - When stomping

*"Bluu" - When he is hurt.
*"Ah!" - A short, sharp yelp he makes when hurt, usually after being touched by a Dantini
*"Huuur" - A faint-like noise when hurt with no crystals.
 
==Trivia==
* The reason Croc has one tooth is because the designer's cat 'Sherbert' had just one fang at the time he was designed and, of course, a crocodile with one tooth is always quite unusual.▼
* Once upon a time, Croc wasn't as we know him now - he was the star of a dinosaur-themed racing game that was intended to be released on the ill-fated SNES CD-ROM drive add-on. In fact, at one time, Croc was not Croc, nor was he in his own game - he 'evolved' from Nintendo's Yoshi
* According to his official Croc 2 bio, Croc has the largest boxed Star Wars toy collection in the entire Gobbo Kingdom, which is where all of his crystals go.
▲* The reason Croc has one tooth is because the designer's cat 'Sherbert' had just one fang at the time he was designed and of course a crocodile with one tooth is always quite unusual.
** However it's likely this is a non-canon fact, simply being a joke for advertising.
* It is revealed in Croc Mobile: Jungle Rumble!/Volcanic Panic! that Croc is a Hydrophobiac, which means he is scared of water, however, he would swim with no problem in water if he would come in contact with it in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and Croc 2, so his Hydrophobia in the Mobile games may be a joke towards Croc being a crocodile, a creature that usually lives in water.
*Croc's favourite vegetables are peas.
▲[[Category: Characters in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]]
*Croc's shouts were going to be replaced with new shouts for Croc 2, but the team decided that the already established ones were more recognisable, and simply had them re-recorded instead.
[[Category: Characters in Croc 2]]▼
*It is revealed in Croc Mobile Series that Croc has Hydrophobia, which means he is scared of water. He has no issue with swimming in water in the main series, so the decision was most likely made because the mobile games were not made by Argonaut Games and the platforming would be exploitable if he was able to.
