Crocodilian

The Crocodilian is a miniboss appearing in several Courtyard missions. Despite the first mission being Apprentice Level, bringing low resolve level characters is inadvisable when fighting this fiend.

Behavior
The Crocodilian will use Lurking Fear and Submerge to buff itself. Lurking Fear also moves the Crocodilian.

Teeth Rake deals medium-high damage and bleed on a single hero, pulling them forward 2 ranks.

Its strongest attack is Apex Predator, which deals high damage and bleed on up to three heroes. It will only use this move after it uses Submerge.

Abilities

 * Apex Predator will only be used after submerge.

Strategy
The Crocodilian always begins in rank 4, and is always accompanied by 3 VEGETATION type enemies. These plants cannot be attacked due to their insurmountable DODGE stat.

The skill Lurking Fear shuffles its own position, and it possesses a very low Move Resist, so managing the Crocodilian's rank is not difficult, given the right skills equipped.

It is possible to quickly kill the Crocodilian with focus damage and stuns. Because the Crocodilian takes two actions per round, attacks that inflict bleed can help quickly defeat him.
