 |relationship==== [[Axolotl/Kingdom|Axolotl]] ===
-Saltwater Crocodile is very protective of Axolotl, acting as a big sister figure to her beyond how she does for other Friends; she'll nag her incessantly to make sure she remembers to stay out of harm's way and scold her when she does something she shouldn't. Likewise, she also enjoys teasing her; it was Saltwater Crocodile who coined the nickname Wooper Looper, to Axolotl's chagrin. The two are often seen swimming together.
+Though Saltwater Crocodile acts as a big sister figure to many other Friends, she is particularly protective of Axolotl, nagging her to stay out of harm's way and scolding her when she does something she shouldn't. Likewise, she also enjoys teasing her; it was Saltwater Crocodile who coined the nickname "Wooper Looper" for Axolotl. The two are often seen swimming together.
 === [[Hippopotamus/Kingdom|Hippopotamus]] ===
-These two have a friendly riverside rivalry, as the resident big sister guardians of the [[Silent River]]. It does have a slight one-sided tilt, as it is Saltwater Crocodile who issues challenges; Hippopotamus is unconcerned with proving who is faster or tougher.
+These two have a friendly riverside rivalry, as the resident "big sisters" of the [[Silent River]]. It is to a degree one-sided, as it seems to always be Saltwater Crocodile who issues the challenges; Hippopotamus is unconcerned with proving who is faster or tougher.
 === {{Kingdom|North American Beaver}} ===
-North American Beaver constructed Saltwater Crocodile's home, and while she is very proud of her work she also can't help but feel the abode can be consistently improved upon. Despite building it so that Saltwater Crocodile could enjoy peace and quiet, it is perhaps North American Beaver herself who ends up disturbing its tenant the most of anyone, always seeming to have a new idea for a touch-up or adjustment that can be made. The stoic Saltwater Crocodile doesn't seem to mind, though the irony doesn't seem to be lost on her, either.

The stoic Saltwater Crocodile doesn't seem to mind, nor is the irony lost on her.
+=== Spectacled Caiman ===
+In one of her chatting voice lines, Saltwater Crocodile remarks that an otherwise unseen Spectacled Caiman Friend had commented on her grouchy-looking face. Nothing else is known about this Friend.

-|strategy=*Though outclassed by Guard Friends with higher Star ratings, Saltwater Crocodile is a fantastic early-game Friend and can be a reliable side-grade or secondary Guard on early Main Story stages. Her Combo with Axolotl, a Heal Friend, helps this greatly.
+|strategy=*Though outclassed by {{KFKGuard|25px}}Guard Friends with higher star ratings, Saltwater Crocodile is a fantastic early-game Friend and is a reliable {{KFKSplendor|25px}}{{KFKGuard|25px}}Splendor Guard Friend for many Main Story stages, continuing to function fine as a side-grade or secondary Guard as the player acquires new, stronger Guard Friends.
+*Saltwater Crocodile's Miracle effect granting increased healing received, especially in tandem with her Combo partner being the {{KF3Heal}} Heal Friend Axolotl, can make Saltwater Crocodile a deceptively sturdy wall for a three-star Friend.
 *Her first Habit, Bathe in a Bay, can be useful on stages with enemies who deal damage in repeated hits, as its effect stacks each time a Friend takes damage.
 *Her ideal [[Album (Kingdom)|Album]] is Thunder Defense, as this best compensates for her relatively lower DEF buffs compared to other Guards. If she is acting as a secondary Guard on a stage where only one use of a Guard Miracle will be needed, then Heart of the Watch is an option.
-|trivia=*Saltwater Crocodile has several lines referring to a [[Spectacled Caiman]] Friend, who has not been seen in Kemono Friends Kingdom in any capacity. In other Kemono Friends media, Saltwater Crocodile Friends and Spectacled Caiman Friends often form duos, so it is expected that Kingdom's Saltwater Crocodile might also be close friends with a Spectacled Caiman Friend.
+*Because she does not take damage on underwater stages, Saltwater Crocodile can be a valuable Guard for players who are struggling with underwater stages and who do not have Hippopotamus.
+*Once a player has acquired and enhanced stronger Guards—namely the {{KFKSplendor|25px}}{{KFKGuard|25px}}Splendor Guard Friends Hippopotamus and [[Black Rhinoceros/Kingdom|Black Rhinoceros]]—and no longer relies on Axolotl as a Heal Friend, few use cases remain for Saltwater Crocodile beyond use by dedicated fans as an assistant Guard for one of the aforementioned higher-ranked Splendor Guard Friends.
+|trivia=*[[Hiromi Igarashi]] reprises her role as Saltwater Crocodile, whom she has voiced in all Kemono Friends media since [[Kemono Friends 2]] in 2019.
