Summons a toothy crocodile to assault an adjacent enemy.

Eringya's Surprising Crocodile is a level 4 Summoning spell that summons a crocodile, which immediately attacks an adjacent enemy, drags it, and then repositions the caster behind the crocodile.

Summoners start with this spell in their library.

Useful Info

Requires an adjacent target and summons a crocodile at the caster's location, which immediately attacks and drags the target backwards, then moves the caster behind the crocodile. Afterwards, shallow water will be created along the drag path.

The crocodile has a duration of about 18 turns, during which the spell cannot be recast.

Strategy

At minimum, it's useful for breaking out of melee range while summoning an ally to block hits.

Can combo with wands of flame or Fire Magic, as the shallow water can be used to create damaging steam.
