Sprint (Ex)

Once per minute, a werecrocodile can increase its land speed to 60 feet for 1 round.

More About Werecrocodiles

Werecrocodiles are known to be calculating and lecherous; they are notorious for an obsession with violence and with terrorizing anyone who dares enter their territory. They decorate their territories with skulls and other warnings that they enjoy showing to human interlopers to inspire dread. Indeed, many werecrocodiles assume human form to lure unsuspecting humans into following them far beyond any hope of help before terrorizing them and slowly hunting them down and tearing them to pieces. In general, werecrocodiles regard werecrocodile-kin as pale shadows of a werecrocodile’s true might. As such, werecrocodiles think little of imposing their will on scalehearts unless the latter have demonstrated exceptional strength and brutality.

Werecrocodiles usually prefer to stick to their own territory, but those who manage to keep in touch with human curiosity sometimes take easily to a life of adventure, at least temporarily. These psychopathic but patient travelers often range many miles from their territory in pursuit of new and more challenging prey to make their reputation more intimidating.

ECOLOGY

Environment warm rivers or marshes
Organization solitary, pair, or colony (3–12)
Treasure NPC gear (masterwork battleaxe, other treasure)

Werecrocodiles merge the ruthless determination of a crocodile with the intelligence and adaptability of a humanoid. This fusion creates a maliciously cunning creature with no doubt of its own martial superiority.
