[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 4930624, member: 50987"] The Rules Cyclopedia version of the giant crocodile has 15 HD, where the SRD version only has 7. So I advanced the SRD monster to 15 HD before converting it. Presto, a "prehistoric" crocodile. (Would that make this a [I]dire[/I] crocodile, then?)

[B]Hold Breath (Ex):[/B] A giant crocodile can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 4 x its Constitution score before it risks drowning. ------------ Crocodiles are commonly found in tropical and semitropical swamps and rivers. Sometimes they are seen in underground rivers and seas. Awkward on land, crocodiles do not stray far from water and will spend hours floating just under the surface. At such times, they can be mistaken for logs. If hungry, these animals will attack creatures in the water. They are particularly attracted to the smell of blood or violent thrashing of the water.
