'''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 ==▼
▲==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.

▲=== Early Childhood ===
▲When Croc was an infant, his parents put him in a basket on the ocean, which 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 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.

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
==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]].

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.

* 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.
* 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.▼
