| Reference | monst.c#line2868 |
A baby crocodile, :, is a type of monster that appears in NetHack. The baby crocodile is a strong, carnivorous animal that is amphibious and capable of swimming.
A baby crocodile has a bite attack.
Generation
Randomly-generated baby crocodiles are always created hostile. A baby crocodile can grow up into a crocodile, and eggs laid by crocodiles will hatch into baby crocodiles.
Strategy
Baby crocodiles are very slow-moving, and their bite is not too threatening for most characters unless they have poor AC or else are low on health. Escaping from a baby crocodile is trivial, outside of severe encumbrance or poor luck with monster generation (e.g. a wand of create monster or scroll of create monster surrounds a character with hostiles).
History
The baby crocodile first appears in NetHack 3.0.7.
