Croc is the protagonist of the Croc series. He is known throughout the world 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.
History
Early childhood
As Croc was an infant, his parents, probably for the lack of food or resources on the island that they were trapped on, put him in a basket and set him to the ocean, in the hope that he would find sanctuary. They were in luck, for he washed up on Forest Island , which was inhabited by the Gobbos, and was found by the Gobbo King, 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.
Baron Dante's attack on Forest Island.
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, an evil sage, led his Dartinis in for an attack against Forest Island. 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 adventure.
Traveling through the Gobbo Archipelago
Croc heads out to free all the Gobbos, and island by island, takes out the Dartinis, saves the gobbos, and beats Baron Dantes 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.
The Final Battle
Croc heads out to Baron Dante's own castle, hoping to take him out in an all out clash. Croc defeats Dartini after Dartini, and after defeating all of Dante's soldiers like a one Crocodile army, Croc finally reaches Baron Dante's room. However, Dante had seen the attack coming, and was ready for Croc. He launched a full scale assult on Croc, pushing Croc to his limit, and Croc couldn't even hit Dante. After a while, Croc started hitting 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 Dante starts using more agresive, physical attacks. Dante charges against a wall, smashing into it, allowing Croc to hit him in the back. Croc repeats this strategy a few more times, hitting Bante several more times. Until everything goes black again. Croc looks around, and sees Dante levitating in the air, and Croc knows that he's pushed Dante to his limit as well. Dante fires multiple electricle projectiles at Croc, and he dodges them. Dante falls down, and takes a few seconds to breathe, and Croc leaps at him and delivers the final blow... and disappears? Dante seems to just fade away into nothingness, and with a final scream dissappears. Croc does a victory dance, over excited that he one the battle. Croc sees the cage of King Rufus and hits it with his tail, opening it.
The Secret Sentinel
Back on Forest Island, the Gobbos pull up a humungous statue in Crocs honour. All the Gobbos dance and play, all having a great time back at their own land. Croc then looks at these Jigsaw puzzle pieces he found on all of the islands, and shows it to King Rufus. He sujests there might be a last one on Baron Dante's island, and Croc heads back there to find it. Croc finds a secret dungeon in his island, and after exploring, finds the last piece. Croc assembles all the pieces and together they make an island, that appears out of knowhere in front of Croc. On top of the island, a mysterious being resembeling Baron Dante 1 but completely white 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 chalenging version of all the other islands. Eventually, Croc reaches a part of the island which resembles nothing he had ever seen before, looking like it was made completely of Crystal. He leaps into the location, which looks completely pitch black, but when he lands down the bottom, sees four gongs, and the Crystal version of Baron Dante 1. Instinctivly, Croc dodges what attacks Baron Dante 1 throws at him, and hits the four gongs, and with their simultanious noice, Baron Dante 1 splits into hundreds of crystals. And Croc picks one up, and Beany Bird picks him up, and they fly away, and having saved the world, keeps on living his normal life.
Croc 2
In Croc 2, Croc finds a message in a bottle from his parents who are looking in vain for him. His footprint matches the paper, so the Gobbos catapult Croc across the ocean to the mainland. After tirelessly running through adventures, beating up the mean Dantinis, and fighting his way through mazes, tunnels, obstacles, Croc bests Baron Dante 2 in the final showdown on top of a mountain, and afterwards The Professor Gobbo takes Croc back to his family with a map he found.
Abilities
Croc is, after all, a Crocodile, but the majority of his moves do not play into this fact. His signiture move, the tail whack, is able to take out Dartinis in one move, sujesting that his tail is extremely strong. He also has significantly high jumping abilities, meaning that his legs are extremely strong as well. This is also backed up by the fact that he has his stomp ability, which takes out Dartinis in one move as well, which is a leap on the head. Some cutscenes in Croc sujest that he is very heavy, and while not an ability, re-enforces those two moves. He also has fairly weak punching abilities, very basic, taught to him by King Rufus. His single tooth sujests that he can not bite like real crocodiles, though it does look sharp enough to kill a human.
The Gobbos
Croc was rescued, raised, and taught by the Gobbos. 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 honor.
Family
Croc's family were introduced in Croc 2.

Trivia
- 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! [1]
