The Crock[note 1] is an enemy that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a mass-produced, alligator-based Badnik model created by Dr. Robotnik.
Appearance[]
The Crocks resemble robotic green alligators. Each unit has a green carapace, four legs and a tail, as well as a large jaws with sharp white teeth and two green spikes on its back.
Overview[]
A Cruck in Rusty Ruin Zone, from the Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast.
In Sonic 3D Blast, Crocks are encountered exclusively as enemies in Rusty Ruin Zone. In gameplay, they have no form of attacks to use, but they can still move around. They use this mobility to move back and forth within their designated areas. Otherwise, they only poses a threat to Sonic when he runs in them. These Badniks can easily be destroyed with a Spin Attack, Spin Dash or Spin Jump. Upon their destruction, they release their respective power source, a green Flicky, which can be picked up by Sonic.
A single Crock also appears in the opening sequence of the Sega Saturn version of Sonic 3D Blast, where it is destroyed by Sonic. Here, however, it releases a red Flicky upon its destruction.
Trivia[]
- The Crock was used in a Twitter post for Sega Heroes, teasing Vector the Crocodile's inclusion in the game.[1]
Notes[]
- ↑ This Badnik was given no official name upon or after the release of Sonic 3D Blast. However, its name was revealed in the Debug Mode for the unofficial Sonic 3D Blast: Director's Cut video game developed by Jon Burton, the lead programmer of the Genesis version of Sonic 3D Blast. When asked about its validity, Burton confirmed that this Badnik's name was used in the original game.
