The largest [[creature]]s inhabiting the first cavern level, they'll spawn individually out of the edges of the [[water]] and seek for [[dwarves]] to attack and [[wood]]en [[building]]s to wreck - they are [[building destroyer]]s and will topple [[furniture]] they come across.

They can also be used as [[mount]]s by [[goblin]]s during [[siege]]s, and they will gleefully swim over any [[moat]] you are using as a defense - whether their riders survive the trek is another story. |
Cave crocodiles can be captured in [[cage]]s rather easily, as furniture for them to topple can be used as bait. They can be [[Animal trainer|trained]] into valuable pets and either [[butcher]]ed for a great amount of returns or kept as livestock. Products made from cave crocodile parts are worth 4 times more than those of common animals. They are the best [[egg]]-layers of all subterranean creatures and one of the best in the entire game, making them the go-to animal for a fortress' [[egg production]]. Because of how prolific they can be and their many uses, a cave crocodile farm can be extremely profitable as it will give you plenty of [[food]], [[bones]] for crafting and a force of giant reptiles to defend your fortress from intruders. Just take measures to ensure [[Catsplosion#Crocsplosion|crocsplosion]] doesn't take down the fortress in the process. | Cave crocodiles can be captured in [[cage]]s rather easily, as furniture for them to topple can be used as bait.
