Saltwater Crocodile/Kingdom

{{2DesignFriendBuilder/Kingdom Saltwater Crocodile is an easygoing yet powerful Friend deeply dedicated to protecting her companions from harm and turmoil. She despises conflict, and is always ready to throw a Cellien into the stratosphere or mediate a dispute between Friends. Once the din settles and peace is restored, she can return to her most favorite activity: sunbathing.
 * introduction=Saltwater Crocodile is a Friend that appears in Kemono Friends Kingdom.

Saltwater Crocodile is the kind of Friend who is happiest when her pals are smiling and playing. Even though her home was designed as a place of solace from the ever-buzzing world of Kingdom, Friends often come by to play on its famous slide, which sends riders into the river with a great splash- and Saltwater Crocodile doesn't mind the bustle one bit. She's laid-back incarnate; even mistakenly trodding on her tail won't foul her temper, though one would not be wise to test her on purpose. 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.
 * enselfintro=I am Saltwater Crocodile. My friends have their strongpoints, but check out these guns! No one can stop me!
 * relationship==== Axolotl ===

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.

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. Attacks can Mark targets for 3 rounds. When a target changes directions, they take PDMG equal to 20% of Saltwater Crocodile's PATK. There can be up to 4 stacks of Mark. The damage taken upon changing directions scales with the number of stacks.

 * attributes=
 * 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.
 * 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 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.
