Description
The Crocodile of the Five Moons is a powerful planeshifter with mastery over planar magic and artifacts. He roams between different planes, collecting rare and dangerous artifacts to increase his power. With his ability to shift between planes and control elemental forces, he is a formidable adversary who can strike from anywhere and vanish without a trace. His lair is filled with portals and planar traps, making him a challenging foe to confront.
