STONi - Freshwater Crocodile
ANiMOZ #006
Code: STONi
Common name: Freshwater Crocodile
Taxonomy: Crocodylus johnstoni
Level: APEX | Form: PREDATOR
Status: COMMON | BiOME: RIVER
Overcomes: Fire | Flood
SUPERPOWERS:
ANTI-RIPPLE:
The specialised ridges along STONi’s back, along with millennia of evolution of intricate muscular control, make his Anti-ripple Superpower possible! Skimming the surface without the tell-tale sign of ripples means he can get within striking distance of almost anything he deems as prey…
DEATH ROLL:
Once she has her target in her mouth, STONi is ready to launch into her Death Roll - spinning rapidly along her length whilst clutching a victim between her jaws. This power can be used on land or in the water, and can turn her food into more digestible pieces.
WEAKNESSES:
CONSTRICTION:
STONi automatically loses a Clash to any species with the CONSTRICTION Superpower
POISON:
Although STONi may survive some venoms that would kill other species, there are some toxins that will defeat her. Some Invasive Species that she did not evolve alongside are a real weakness for STONi, as she doesn’t realise they aren’t a good meal.
