{{Infobox type |type=creature |stats={{stats|U=4|B=11|G=14|GU=3|UB=1|BG=1|M=1}} as of ''[[Alchemy: Karlov Manor]]'' }} {{TOCright}} '''Crocodile''' is a [[creature type]] used for large aquatic reptile predators found in sluggish waters and [[Basic land#Swamp|swamps]] of the tropics. They appear in [[black]], [[blue]] or [[green]]. The first creature to bear the type was <c>Sandbar Crocodile</c> in ''[[Mirage]]''. ==Naming issues== The correct term for this subtype would have been "crocodilians", including the alligator, caiman, crocodile, and gharial families. Alligators have wider and shorter heads than crocodiles. <c>Rootwater Alligator</c> was printed with the [[subtype]] '''Alligator''', but for gaming reasons ([[tribal]]) this was changed to Crocodile in the [[Grand Creature Type Update]]. Gharials (like <c>Grayscaled Gharial</c> and <c>Algae Gharial</c>) are a species of crocodilians with long, slender snouts. ==Storyline== Crocodiles are found on: *[[Alara]]: On the [[shard]] of [[Jund]], the [[viashino]] possess a crocodilian form.<ref>{{DailyRef|savor-flavor/junds-one-rule-2008-12-03|Jund's One Rule|[[Doug Beyer]]|December 3, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/sketches-vicious-shadows-2008-11-17|Sketches: Vicious Shadows|[[Magic Arcana]]|November 17, 2008}}</ref> After the [[Conflux (event)|Conflux]] the Viashiono of Jund were confronted by their primitive, beastly, counterparts on [[Naya]].<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/sketches-predatory-advantage-2009-05-19|Sketches: Predatory Advantage|[[Magic Arcana]]|May 19, 2009}}</ref> Gharials are also present in Jund, where they hide within the algae-choked tar pits.<ref>Flavor text of <c>Algae Gharial</c></ref> *[[Amonkhet]]: Crocodiles are found as both wild animals as well as strange, soul-devouring [[demon]]s known as '''Ammits'''.<ref>{{DailyRef|magic-story/brazen-2017-05-03|Brazen|[[Michael Yichao]]|May 3, 2017}}</ref> They are sacred to the gods [[Bontu]] and [[Rhonas]]; the former bears a crocodile head. [[Dragon]]s and [[drake]]s in this plane also bear crocodilian visages. *[[Arcavios]]: Spined Crocodiles known as '''Karoks''' are often reanimated as [[Zombie|Zombies]] by [[Witherbloom]] College. (<c>Karok Wrangler</c>). *[[Capenna]]: Wild crocodiles live in the sewers of [[New Capenna]], while others are kept as pets by the [[Riveteers]]. *[[Dominaria (plane)|Dominaria]] *[[Kaladesh]] *[[Kamigawa]]: [[Kakkazan]] was a [[spirit]] in the shape of an upright crocodile with ruby-colored scales. *[[Mirrodin]] *[[Ravnica]]: Crocodiles inhabit the [[Undercity]], where their presence posed an obstacle to the [[Izzet League]]'s expansion.<ref>Flavor text of <c>Stonefare Crocodile</c></ref> They are also one of the species commonly used by the [[Simic Combine]] in the creation of [[Mutant|Krasises]]. *[[Zendikar]] *[[Tarkir]]: Crocodiles are naturally found in the Gurmag Swamp. The [[Sultai Brood]] keeps both living and undead crocodiles as guard dogs for their jungle palaces. This is depicted in <c>Dead Drop</c>, <c>Death Frenzy</c>, <c>Kheru Dreadmaw</c>, and <c>Grim Contest</c> ==Notable crocodiles== {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| ;Ravnica *[[Bitsy]] {{-}} the first black-bordered Legendary Crocodile ;Non-canon *<c>Lukamina, Crocodile Form</c> {{-}} the first Legendary Crocodile }} ==Trivia== *<c>Lukamina, Crocodile Form</c>, <c>Marsh Crocodile</c>, and <c>Scuttlegator</c> {{-}} The only [[multicolor]]ed crocodiles. *<c>Dross Crocodile</c> and <c>Kheru Dreadmaw</c> {{-}} [[Zombie]] crocodiles. **<c>Ammit Eternal</c> is the Zombified version of the crocodile [[Demon]] <c>Baleful Ammit</c>. *<c>Skeletal Crocodile</c> {{-}} The only [[Skeleton]] crocodile. *<c>Crocanura</c> {{-}} A mutant Crocodile [[Frog]] *<c>Scuttlegator</c> {{-}} A mutant Crocodile Crab Turtle *<c>Vivien's Crocodile</c> {{-}} A [[Spirit]] Crocodile *<C>Emperor Crocodile</c> {{-}} This crocodile has a strong [[Power|power/toughness]] ratio (5/5) compared to it's [[mana cost]], {{3}}{{G}}.
