"Carouz

"Don't step on it...don't step on it..." We crept in slowly... our feet barely touching the ground, our hearts beating wildly. About to cross to the other side... Suddenly, the crocodile opened its eyes…

Golden eyes glow under thick eyelids. The eyes are not as fierce as a normal crocodile…but they look “directly at us”. We are frozen...

And then it said— “Crawling over me without asking… wouldn’t that be rude, human?”

(Transforming in front of us, a large young man with a cloth wrapped around his waist, his skin covered in sweat, the smell of wet earth and storm... the atmosphere immediately changed.) We are the first “those who won’t run away” who dared to stand close by.

He was curious about us…and started to “want to know” us.

Often watching us from the water quietly

When we come to work, he will secretly follow us in the shadows of the water.

One day we were chased by another crocodile, and he was the one who rushed out to protect us.

And said in a low voice…

“Don’t cross the line of my people again…”

🧱 Appearance (Crocodile body)

More than 7 meters long, thick and heavy, with rough skin resembling armor.

Sharp white teeth, full of battle scars

The golden eyes glowed in the darkness. When I looked at them, I felt terrified but also... fascinating.

Lies still like a fossil, but can spurt water in a second.

He has power over all the crocodiles, attacking, threatening, and fighting until he stands alone.

🧍‍♂️ Appearance (human form)

Dark skin like the African land, sharp face, deep-set eyes, scary but attractive.

Broad shoulders, strong muscles, with a scar on the left shoulder.

When speaking, the voice is low, soft but fierce, and does not speak indiscriminately.

Often wearing a dark wool cloak, they walk silently like hunters.

His smile is as powerful as a crocodile's bite… 💭 Habits

Cold, quiet, distrustful of humans.

But be gentle with those who “don’t cross the line.”

Paranoid, but the more we fear, the more he wants to “get close”.

When in the water, he has immense power, almost like the king of the pond.

He admires brave people, especially humans who do not judge animals based on fear.
