11 Crocodiles are aggressive wildlife in Windrose's Cursed Swamps biome. They lurk in shallow waters, ambush from concealment, and deal heavy damage with their bite attacks. Crocodiles drop Crocodile Hide Piece and Crocodile Tail, both used for advanced armor recipes and crafting station upgrades including the Distiller, Bellows, and Material Rack. The Plague Crocodile is a corrupted variant found deeper in the swamps that drops Tainted Bile.
