== Creation ==
'''Croc''' is the main [[Characters|protagonist]] of the [[Games|Croc series]]. He is known throughout the wor
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.
 
==History==
ld of the [[Gobbos]] as the one that saved their world twice. Croc is the star of all the Croc games, and is the green crocodile that touched the hearts of the fans of the Croc games everywhere. He is the only other playable character in the series, counting the controllable [[Clockwork Gobbo]]s.
=== Early childhood ===
[[File:Blowupdoll.jpg|thumb|571x571px]]
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.
 
=== In [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]] ===
==Outside the Croc Universe==
[[File:Baby_croc.png|250px|Croc learning to walk|left]]Croc and the Gobbos were enjoying a normal day, everything going as it normally did, when suddenly Baron Dante appeared and led his [[Dantinis]] in for an attack against Gobbo Valley. A few Gobbos escaped, but within the Chaos most of them were captured. Before his capture, [[King Rufus]] hit a [[Beany Gong]], causing Beany 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]]. While travelling through the Gobbo Archipelago, he defeats [[Baron Dante]]'s [[Guardians]], who are harmless creatures turned into horrible monsters, and saves many Gobbos. Croc then goes after Baron Dante to save King Rufus.
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.

==== [[Baron Dante's Funky Inferno|The Final Battle]] ====
===='''Normal Mode'''====
[[File:Final_battle.jpg|164px|The Final Battle|left]]Croc heads out to Baron Dante's [[Castle Island|own castle]], hoping to take him out in the clash. Croc defeats Dantini after Dantini, and after defeating all of Baron Dante's soldiers like a one Crocodile army, Croc finally reaches [[Baron Dante's Funky Inferno|Baron Dante's room]]. However, Dante had seen the attack coming, and was ready for Croc. He launched a full scale assault on Croc, pushing Croc to his limit, and Croc couldn't even hit Baron Dante. After a while, Croc started hitting Baron Dante with his tail attack, causing quite a bit of damage. After hitting Baron Dante one too many times, everything goes black. They're back in the same room, but Baron Dante starts using more aggressive, physical attacks. Baron Dante charges against a wall, smashing his head into it, allowing Croc to hit him in the back. Croc repeats this strategy a few more times, hitting Baron Dante several more times. Until everything goes black again. Croc looks around, and sees Baron Dante levitating in the air, and Croc knows that he's pushed Baron Dante to his limit as well. Dante fires multiple electrical projectiles at Croc, and he dodges them. Dante lands to the floor, and takes a few seconds to breathe, making it the perfect time for Croc to deliver the final blow. And with a final scream, Baron Dante spins faster and faster until suddenly shrinking until creating a small explosion of sparkles. Croc does a victory dance, over excited that he won the battle with Baron Dante. Croc then hears King Rufus's squeak from his Cage and turns to him. He then frees King Rufus with one whack from his tail, opening it. Lastly, King Rufus leaps into his backpack before Beany appears over Croc. Beany teleports Croc and King Rufus back to Gobbo Valley.

Back on Forest Island, the Gobbos pull up a humongous statue in Croc's honor. All the Gobbos dance and play, all having a great time back at their own land. Croc then looks at the [[Jigsaw Pieces]] he found on all of the islands, and shows it to King Rufus. He suggests there might be a last one on Baron Dante's island, and Croc heads back there to find it. Croc finds a [[Secret Levels|secret dungeon level]], [[Jailhouse Croc]], on his island, and after exploring, finds the last piece. Croc assembles all the pieces and together they make an island known as [[Crystal Island]], which appears out of nowhere in front of Croc. On top of the island, a mysterious being resembling Baron Dante, but completely translucent, appears. Croc heads off to the island, which looks like a combination of all the other Islands, and heads up, battles up through the parts of the island, which is a more challenging version of all the other islands. Eventually, Croc reaches a [[Secret Sentinel|part of the island]] which resembles nothing he had ever seen before; looking like it was made completely of [[Crystals]]. He leaps into the location, which looks completely pitch black, but when he lands down the bottom, sees four [[Beany Gong]]s, and the Crystal version of Baron Dante called [[The Secret Sentinel]]. Instinctively, Croc dodges what attacks the electric the Secret Sentinel throws at him, and hits the four Beany Gongs, and with their simultaneous noise, he splits into dozens of crystals. Croc picks one up and lifts it into the air triumphantly before Beany Bird picks him up, and they fly away.

START: This pauses the game.
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.

==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.
==In [[Croc: Legend of the Gobbos]]==
''See the [[Manuals]] page for the full story.''
 
[[File:Baby_croc.png|thumb|250px|Croc learning to walk]]He is first seen as a baby in a floating cradle 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 carefree as they seemed.
 
===[[Invasion of Gobbo Valley|Baron Dante's attack on Gobbo Valley]]===
Croc and the Gobbos were enjoying a normal day, everything going as it normally did, when suddenly, a small earth tremor occurred, and the Gobbos all ran for their lives, completely taken by shock. Baron Dante, 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, (presumably, he stores each Gobbo in the backpack) and hit a Beany G[[Beany Gong|ong]], 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]].
 
===Travelling through the [[Gobbo Archipelago]]===
Croc heads out to free all the Gobbos, and [[Gobbo Archipelago|island by island]], takes out the Dantinis, saves the Gobbos, and beats [[Baron Dante]]'s [[Guardians]], normal beings turned into horrible monsters. Croc saves all the Gobbos but one, [[King Rufus]], so then he heads out to save him.
 
===[[Baron Dante's Funky Inferno|The Final Battle]]===
[[File:Final_battle.jpg|thumb|164px|The Final Battle]]Croc heads out to Baron Dante's [[Castle Island|own castle]], hoping to take him out in the clash.

Back on Forest Island, the Gobbos pull up a humongous statue in Croc's honor. All the Gobbos dance and play, all having a great time back at their own land. Croc then looks at these [[Jigsaw Pieces ]]he found on all of the islands, and shows it to King Rufus.

And Croc picks one up, and Beany Bird picks him up, and they fly away, and having saved the world, and keeps on living his normal life.
 
==[[Croc 2|In Croc 2]]==
In Croc 2, Croc finds a[[The Message| message]] in a bottle from his [[Croc's Family|parents]] who are looking in vain for him. His footprint matches the paper, so the Gobbos catapult Croc across the ocean to the [[Mainland|mainland]]. After tirelessly running through adventures, beating up the mean Dantinis, and fighting his way through mazes, tunnels, obstacles, Croc 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.
==Biology==
Croc is a small, cute green crocodile with two beady eyes, a long snout, two nostrils and one fang. He also has a yellow belly, a short green tail which he uses for attacking, short arms, four fingered hands, and large, three-clawed feet.

==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 honorhonour.
 
==[[Croc's Family|Family]]==
Croc's family was 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 he's performing an action - e.g. tail-whipping and stomping.

==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.
* 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.
* 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.
** However it's likely this is a non-canon fact, simply being a joke for advertising.
*Croc was originally the star of a dinosaur-themed racing game that was intended to be released on the ill-fated SNES CD-ROM drive add-on.
*Croc's favourite vegetables are peas.
*Croc 'evolved' from Nintendo's Yoshi. After pitching a game to Nintendo who turned it down, Croc then became the character we know today.
*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.
*Croc is vegetarian. His favourite vegetable is peas.
*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.
*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.
