Dantini
From the Croc Wiki, the Croc encyclopedia
The Dantinis are one of Croc's worst enemies.They are Baron Dante's slaves.
The Different Varieties
There are several different varieties of Dantinis. Here is the list:
Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
- Chasing Dantini - They are the first Dantinis you face, they are red with no other armor or clothing, who only attack by chasing Croc around and touching him. Are considered the 'underlings' of the Dantinis.
- Devil/Spark Dantini - This type of Dantini has horns, is black, and attacks by shooting fireballs through a black pitchfork. The only two differences are that some walk and some stand on the spot.
- Ice Dantini - Icy, blue and white colored Dantinis that appear on Ice Island and attack by throwing snowballs at Croc. Resemble Devil Dantinis.
- Tumbling Dantini - Only one of this type is seen, in Forest Island, frolicking around. It wears a green jester hat with yellow bells on it, wears a orange full body suit, has one green boot and one orange boot, and one green arm and one orange arm. It is immune to damage while rolling but can be attacked when it stops or when it's walking. Has no other attack than touching Croc.
- Bat Dantini - Maroon Dantinis with bat wings who do not attack, but fly around. If Croc is touched by one, he loses crystals/lives and will fall off monkey bars.
- Swimming Dantini - Green Dantinis wearing scuba gear who shoot with a harpoon or swim around. They have scuba gear on, including flippers. They appear in any underwater segment of the game, including The Deadly Tank of Neptuna. Same as the Spark Dantini with some swimming around and some standing still.
- Stomping Dantini - Purple Dantinis with a sing horn on their heads who attack by stomping on top of monkey bars, making them difficult for Croc to use. If Croc is hanging onto the monkey bars below this Dantini when it stomps, Croc will be forced to let go of the bars, falling into whatever hazard awaits below. This Dantini say's "HeeHee" before it stomps on the monkey bars unlike the usual "HaHa".
- Spiky Dantini - Dark green Dantinis who can only be killed by smashin the ? box-like platforms on which they walk on. These are only found in the first castle jigsaw level. Due to their being no crystals on this level croc will die instantly if hit by this Dantini. When their path is eradicated, smashing the "?" Boxes, they will walk into the gap not realizing the danger, and fall into the bottomless pit below, sealing their fate. Their cry is unique making an "?" above their heads then followed by a "URRP" before they fall.
- Jumping Dantini- Dark Green Dantinis who only jump between two platforms, attempting to prevent Croc's passage.
- Kidnapping Dantini- A dark blue Dantini who runs around, holding a Gobbo under his arm. Must be hit to obtain the Gobbo. In the PC version, there is a green average speed version (I Snow Him So Well) and a super fast orange one(Tower Of Power). So their are three kinds of this type of Dantini.
Croc 2
- Pirate Dantini- Appear in the Sailor Village in each of the levels.
- Shaman Dantini- Fires harmful sparks at Croc with a magic stick/wand. They have white horns.
- Skeleton Dantinis- Undead skeletons of Dantinis. When attacked they fall into a pile of bones, but rise back up to full skeletons after a few seconds. They only do this once, though, once they are attacked twice they disappear for good.
- Conquistador Dantini- Appear in the Inca Village in Croc 2 in each of the levels. This is ironic, because they are dressed like Conquistadors and the Conquistadors were the people who destroyed the Incas in reality.
Trivia
- In Croc 2, the Sailor King says that 'The Dantinis are very naughty. It's not their fault, though.' ¨
