'''Croc''' is the main protagonist of the [[Croc (series)|''Croc'' series]], and has appeared in every game of the series. Croc is known throughout the world of the [[Gobbo]]s as the one who saved their world twice.
== Creation ==▼
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==
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.

▲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]].

==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. He wears a backpack which he uses to pull out Gummi Savers and Clockwork Gobbos, amongst other [[Items]].
Line 39 ⟶ 32:
Croc is capable of using a tail attack, which is his most valuable and recognizable move in the series. He is also capable of jumping high and using a somersault to jump far. When he's in the air, Croc is able to do a ground pound to smash any enemies or boxes underneath him.

His acts of bravery were paid back when the Gobbos built a statue of him in his honour.

==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.
** However it's likely this is a non-canon fact, simply being a joke for advertising.
*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.
