Homebrew Variant Werecrocodile Species Details
All werecrocodiles draw their origin to the same place that other shapechangers do: Loikiel the Archtransmuter. Among Loikiel's servants, werecrocodiles were his favorite. They possesed a better temperament than the other lycanthropes and enjoyed their master's evil designs more-so than his doppelgängers. Since Loikiel's disappearance, werecrocodiles spread across the world, building their burrows in dismal swamps and slow-moving waterways.
A werecrocodile's ferocity is matched only by its malicious nature. Cold-blooded, both literally and figuratively, these beasts love to track, torment, and torture their prey. If there is an opportunity to damage a creature psychologically before they damage it physically, they will take it.
