General description

The Rock-croc is a crocodile. It lives in The mountains of dwarves. It becomes 5-7 m long. Its body, mouth and teeth look like rocks and is a perfect camouflage in the mountain terrain which makes it almost impossible to spot. It can open its mouth 120 degrees. Deep inside of the mouth is a crystal which can be seen by anyone who passes. It´s a deadly trap. If anyone tries to take the crystal, its giant mouth with sharp rock teeth will clap together within seconds. The Rock-croc is a land animal and hates water. It does´nt swim.

Social structure

The Rock-croc is a loner. It lives and hunt alone. But a Rock-croc mum will nurse her baby. After 3 months the baby Rock-croc is 3 m long and big enough to hunt itself. If two Rock-croc meet they will fight, except when the rock-crocs gather by the river 5 days on the row, once a year, to drink water.

Diet

The Rock-croc is not picky and eats everything that gets into its trap. Mostly dwarves. Dwarves are greedy and likely to try to take the crystal. A Rock-croc normally eats once a week, but can survive without food for a month.

Special skills

Its big size and strenght, camuflage, crystal-trap and ability to lay still for days makes it a very dangerous hunter. It suprises and overpowers its prey.

Mental description

The Rock-croc is extremely patient and aggressive.
