Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

Summons a toothy crocodile to assault an adjacent enemy. The crocodile will appear beneath the caster in a surge of murky water and perform an empowered attack against the chosen target, dragging both it and the caster backward before allowing the latter to dismount safely behind it. It cannot be recast while the crocodile is still active. A popular legend states that Eringya first demonstrated this spell as the closing remark of a particularly acrimonious debate about wetlands conservation, but most modern scholars consider this apocryphal.

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.
