An aggressive crocodilian with great crunching jaws full of sharp teeth. “Alligators commit errors of diet.” -Bennet Bowler, M.D., _Contributions to the Natural History of the Alligator, (Crocodilus Mississipiensis), with a Microscopic Addendum_, p. 17. 1846.

Useful Info

Alligators are a mean step up from crocodiles, capable of ambushing adventurers with surprising speed and powerful bites. They can be found in the Swamp, with a 20% chance to be accompanied by a second alligator outside of vaults.

Tips & Tricks

• Their willpower is non-trivial, but a gifted Hexer can overcome it. In addition, they lack any elemental resistances and are cold-blooded, making Conjurations reasonably effective against them. They also lack see invisible, making invisibility an appealing option against them.
• As with Trample, be wary of alligators dragging you off of staircases or into shallow water if they have the room for it.

History

• In 0.31, alligators became faster and got a drag attack, but lost their Sprint ability. Also, alligators' damage and maximum HP were nerfed.
• Prior to 0.18, alligators were able to hide in water.
• Prior to 0.17, an alligator had a chance to spawn with additional baby alligators.
• Alligators were added in 0.6-d619ec97.
