A werecrocodile is a patient predator, but behind that veneer lies a ferocious beast. In humanoid form, a werecrocodile has very rough skin and a noticeable underbite. Most werecrocodiles patiently wait in crocodile form in large bodies of water, lashing out at prey that draws too near, typically entering hybrid form to attack prey further inland. Most werecrocodiles build simple dens near rivers, lakes, and swamps, and while they tend to dislike others of their kind, multiple werecrocodiles might hunt in the same area, and a werecrocodile that hunts particularly well might share its spoils with other werecrocodiles. Characters as Werecrocodiles The character gains a Strength of 15 if his or her score isn't already higher, and a +1 bonus to AC while in crocodile or hybrid form (from natural armour). Attack and damage rolls for the natural weapons are based on Strength.
