Description: This gargantuan Crocodile did not muck about when it came to eating; no lurking in the swamps for him! Whenever he got a hankering for the other other white meat, he'd visit a seaside village and load up on the all-you-can-eat buffet, and just when you'd think he couldn't possibly snarf one more human, he would.

Description: A pair of Giant Crocodiles tried to start a new life and raise a family in Lake Placid (Maine, USA), but humans would have none of that and insisted on destroying their American dream for no good reason. Apparently, in USA you can eat anything you want but cats, dogs, hominids, and monkeys. How is a Crocodile supposed to keep track of all of these crazy rules?

Description: Somewhere in Thailand there lived a wonderful Giant Crocodile who did his part for the environment and ate many yucky people and, woefully, one poor innocent dog. This beast was effectively immune to small arms fire, though ingesting a grenade did cause severe discomfort.

Description: All that goes up must come down, as the Energyne company discovered when developing a genetic-altering pathogen on the Athena-1 space station. Whoops! The debris fell to Earth, and a canister of the pathogen was eaten by an American crocodile in the Everglades, whom we shall call "Lizzie". Long story short, two other animals were also exposed, including George the friendly Gorilla and Ralph, the not-so-friendly Wolf, and they all met in Chicago for a palaver, giant monster style.
