I meant I woulda expected it to be stronger, and have a slightly higher CR as such. Being such a big croc, I'd have expected an even nastier bite and all. Crocs have the strongest jaws in the animal kingdom for crushing things when they bite, IIRC. Well, there may be some sharks with stronger bites, but I don't recall, I know crocs are pretty well up there in the 'obscenely strong bite' department.

3.5 T-rex only does 2.5 more average damage on a bite. CR9 Dire sharks do notably less damage. Dragons don't get comparable bites for 7 or 8 more CR points. Hell, only the obscenely high damage on the giant stag beetle's bite beats out the croc at that CR.Arkhandus said:

What are those lizards going to do? Pull a big caravan. Ok, they can do that.
That's really all you need to know (and how they look like).

But I like to stat out everything. In fact, my next post was going to be about finding stats on the Horseflies that eat the bacteria off of the lizards hidesThanee said:I will tell you a little secret... you don't actually need stats for everything.
You must have adventured with my players beforeKwitchit said:
I planned to have the lizards make a bite attack if the PCs came to close to their mouths when they attack the caravan party. And I just want to be prepared in case the PCs decide to keep the lizards or kill them.
I think I'll go with the Giant Croc stats that frankthedm posted. Thanks everyone
The mass-murder and the packrat are 2 of the most common player types. Killing or taking the enemy's beasts of burden is an extreme example of this, but isn't too rare...Oryan77 said:You must have adventured with my players before
The question is, are the lizards monsters (in which case you kill them and take their stuff) or someone's stuff (in which case you take them)?

Gave it a climb speed since that is put on a lot of fantasy burden-lizards
Made the attacks non primary {-5 to hit, only 1/2 str bonus]
Removed Improved grab
Reduced the CR by a point
