Crocophant<\/strong>
CR 7 N Magical Beast<\/strong>
This massive creature has a crocodile-like jaw, a humped back and four stout, muscular limbs. It drags its tail behind it as it moves.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinosaurs are creatures that captivate humanoids in any land where they dwell, and many where they don\u2019t. Mages have attempted to reverse engineer dinosaurs in areas where they do not exist, magically hybridizing animals to create a pseudo-dinosaur. The crocophant, formed from a combination of elephant and crocodilian, is one of these imitation dinosaurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many crocophants are found in captivity as guards or showpieces, but they have escaped into the wild in some places. They are carnivores with a slow metabolism\u2014a sizable meal can keep a crocophant full for about a month, making them easy to care for as guard beasts go. In the wild, crocophants prefer swampy, flooded terrain for basking and swimming, although they do most of their hunting on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The elephantine ancestry of crocophants shows not just in their pillar-like limbs, but their strong social ties. Crocophants live and hunt cooperatively in groups, and together they can take down massive prey, even giants and dragons. When captive, a crocophant without others of its own kind to socialize with will often be listless and engage in neurotic behavior\u2014which can be very dangerous in a predator the size of a cottage. Crocophant congregations are frequently nomadic, wandering over wide areas in order to avoid competition with other predators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A crocophant stands about ten feet at the shoulder and grows to 30 feet long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
