While slow, the crocodile can do significant damage, and is much more difficult a foe than its younger form.

A crocodile corpse is a good meal, but an adventurer with a wand of polymorph may want to reconsider before eating — polypiling a crocodile corpse will yield a pair of non-cursed fireproof +0 low boots.

The baby crocodile is simply just a young crocodile. It is amphibious, and rather slow moving. It poses little threat to a player, as escape is easy. In UnNetHack, tourists will start the game with a baby crocodile as pet.
