DEPY
(CROCODILE)

Normal, Giant.

Although some of these reptiles are of giant-size, such monsters are
typically found only in salt water or in prehistoric settings. All crocodiles
are stupid and voracious eaters. They are sluggish in cold weather (cut
movement 50%).They typically lie in concealment in order to surprise prey
(surprise on 1-3 on a 6-sided die).

<temp image (the giant image): use the one from the cover of Dungeon???>

anon.:  An adult male saltwater crocodile's weight is 600 to 1,000 kilograms (1,300-2,200 lb) and length is normally 4.1 to 5.5 metres (13?18 ft),
though mature males can be 6 metres (20 ft) or more and weigh 1,300 kilograms (2,900 lb) or larger

anon.:  The largest size saltwater crocodiles can reach is the subject of considerable controversy.
The longest crocodile ever measured snout-to-tail and verified was the skin of a deceased crocodile, which was 6.1 metres (20 ft) long.
Given that skins tend to shrink slightly after removal from the carcass, this crocodile's living length was estimated at 6.3 metres (21 ft),
and it probably weighed well over 1,200 kilograms (2,600 lb)

I liked the concept of the "evolved" dinosaurs (i.e. the "rexes" looking like gators) in the new KING KONG however the film is a little tiresome.
Plus, I'll take Bruce Cabot, Fay Wray and Robert Armstrong anyday over that lot of actors.

SAAAYYYY!!!


 


Yes, the only really well-made version of the story is the original.

Crocodiles are no relation to dinosours, existed before the dinos appeared, and one extinct species of crocs was in the 50-foot-length range and preyed on saurations.

Cheerio,
