Useful Info

Alligators are a mean step up from crocodiles, capable of ambushing adventurers with surprising speed and powerful bites. They can be found in the Swamp, with a 20% chance to be accompanied by a second alligator outside of vaults.

Tips & Tricks

Their willpower is non-trivial, but a gifted Hexer can overcome it. In addition, they lack any elemental resistances and are cold-blooded, making Conjurations reasonably effective against them. They also lack see invisible, making invisibility an appealing option against them.

History

In 0.31, alligators got a drag attack, but lost their Sprint ability. Also, alligators' damage and maximum HP were nerfed.
Prior to 0.18, alligators were able to hide in water.
Prior to 0.17, an alligator had a chance to spawn with additional baby alligators.
Alligators were added in 0.6-d619ec97.

-*They are faster than their speed of 10 would suggest. Their "act" value of 80% means that even on land, they attack at roughly the same rate as a speed 12-13 monster, while their "swim" value of 60% means they are [[Spriggan]] speed in water. Add in their [[Sprint]] spell which works on land, and you have a monster that is considerably faster than average.
