Killer Krok is a member of the Cabal and works with Medulla. He may have missed finding Mellori, but he is anxious to bring Medulla your wizard’s head.
“Tick-Tock, Tick-Tock, says the Krok” – If a Wizard joins the duel after it has already started, Killer Krok will cast Bad Juju on the Wizard. (this is a reference to the Crocodile from Peter Pan who ate Captain Hook’s hand and swallowed a clock).
Killer Croc (Waylon Jones) is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Gerry Conway, Don Newton and Gene Colan, the character was introduced in Batman #357 (March, 1983). He has become one of the most enduring enemies of the superhero Batman and belongs to the collective of adversaries that make up his rogues gallery.
In his comic book appearances, Killer Croc is depicted as a former sideshow wrestler who suffers from a rare genetic condition that gives him a reptilian appearance and superhuman strength. Driven insane by his irreversible transformation, he turned to a life of crime, over time developing animalistic tendencies. The character has also been a member of the Suicide Squad, debuting in the fifth volume of the comic series revolving around the team, and a romantic interest of Enchantress. While typically portrayed as a supervillain, he has also been occasionally depicted as an antihero.
The character has been adapted into various media, most revolving around Batman. Killer Croc made his live-action debut in the 2016 DC Extended Universe film Suicide Squad, portrayed by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. A version of the character appeared in the third season of the Arrowverse series Batwoman, performed by Heidi Ben.
The Crocodile (named Tick-Tock in J.M. Barrie novel) is a supporting character in the various iterations of Peter Pan. He is a croc of monstrous proportions that dwells on the isle of Neverland. After swallowing the hand of Captain Hook (who lost it in battle with Peter Pan), Tick-Tock liked the taste so much that he has been in constant pursuit of the villainous pirate, in hopes of devouring the rest of him. However, the crocodile also swallowed an alarm clock at some point, and its constant ticking acts as something of a warning for the ever-fearful Hook.
