Crocodile is a water-element based monster of which is located within the Marshlands. This monster has the most Defense DF of most creatures on Disc 1, but with its low Magic Defense MDF, a single Magic from Dart should dispose of it.

Appearance

Crocodile is a large lizard monster which, although is similar to real life crocodiles, has some rather unique features such as four legs near its stomach, red eyes, three massive claws crested upon the tip of its tail, and three spines growing out of its back. It has green scaly skin and several lengthy teeth.

Battle

Considering this monster is the Marshland's most powerful enemy, it is safe to assume you may experience difficulty as a low level or under geared player especially since they generally travel in packs of two. First and foremost, the monster has the highest attack and physical defense here, it does however, also have the by far lowest magical defense. So if you use spell items or dragoon magic then you will incapacitate them. The longer you let them live, the more damage they will rack up and it does get fairly potent if given the chance so battles with these monster are highly recommended to be taken care of hastily. If you use fire-element based spell items such as Burn Out or Gushing Magma, you will defeat them most undoubtedly instantly due to their elemental weakness bonus since they are water-element based. Luckily they are slow to attack and so shouldn't pose too much of a threat. If you find they are doing too much damage and have already aquired the Magic Stone of Signet, delaying three turns of one can prove to be a game changer.

• Jaws - Launches its body towards a single target bitting in mid air, dealing low to medium physical damage. 
• Skull Casting - Opens its mouth, launching three skulls towards a single target from within, dealing medium physical damage.

Drops

Upon defeat, this monster may drop the spell item Pellet with an uncommon probability of 10%. It is an average damage dealing single target earth-element based spell item and so it is a decent drop, one of which probably shouldn't be farmed to obtain unless you want to use it on any certain upcoming wind-element based monsters. The average time required to obtain this spell item is roughly 10 minutes give or take, and as always, this varies per person.
