Shot Croc
"Time's Up"

Element: Tech

Look:
Humanoid cyborg crocodile that has a robotic crocodile mouthed cannon and a time staff. In game he holds the cannon ready to shoot and will summon the time staff when you use that attack. When going to Croc mode he quickly attaches the cannon to his back in a very quick animation.

Is like Kaboom mixed with time elements.

Max health of 652 Hp.

Upgrades:
Primary attack:
(P) Croc Shot! Fire a mini robot crocodile at enemies from your cannon. Crocs latch onto enemies and deal continuous damage. (Deals an initial 15 damage, then 10 damage a second for 3 seconds — Long range, medium speed, single target)

Jump and press (P) to slam staff on the ground and time warp to the previous enemy you had attacked. (Slam deals 40 damage — time warp will phase you to where you hit if you hadn't killed the enemy or to the next closest one to deal another 40 damage)

Secondary attack:
(S) Slams time staff on the ground momentarily freezing time for 2 seconds. (Does not work on bosses and does no damage — Has a 1 second cool down)

Time Steal: 500 coins
(T) levels the cannons maw and begins sucking away time from enemies. This deals 20 damage a second and decreases enemies speed by 10% every second they are within the cannons range (medium range). Can slow them down to 30% movement speed. Every second you slow them down, you speed yourself up by 10% (has a maximum of 130% speed) (The buff and debuff will both last for 5 seconds after maxing out)

Ally-Gator: 700 coins
While in normal mode, hold (P) to summon an alligator ally that will follow you and attack enemies. (Lasts 10 seconds or until enemies damage it enough — Deals 25 damage every 2 seconds) will explode upon expiration, freezing time for everything around them. (Deal 25 damage and freeze everything for 2/4 seconds in a small range)

Everybody Freeze!: 900 coins
Time stop now deals a minor amount of damage when freezing enemies and lasts for 4 seconds. (Deals 10 initial damage)

Time Flies: 1200 coins
Immediately after freezing time, press (S) again to raise the staff over your head and slam it even harder into the ground. All small and medium sized enemies will be thrown into the air and left spinning there while time is frozen. Enemies in the air take triple damage.

Top Path: Croc Army
Croc Stop: 1700 coins
Freezing time now releases two crocs that will each target a single enemy. (Deals 15 damage to an enemy and then 10 damage a second for next 3 seconds)

Triple Trouble: 2200 coins
Holding (P) will now summon three Ally Gators.

Double Trouble: 3000 coins
(P) Attack now fires out two crocs at a time. They latch onto the same enemy, so now deal an initial 30 damage followed by 20 damage a second for 3 seconds.

Bottom Path: Time Turner

Whenever you freeze time, will create a glowing aura that covers the ground everywhere that time was frozen. As soon as time unfreezes, the aura will explode upwards, dealing 50 damage.

Time Dome: 3000 coins
Hold (S) to charge up the time staff, slam it down to release an expanding Time Dome that deals an initial 75 damage to enemies as time freezes, while also stealing away 20% of their speed, and buffing your speed by 20%. The enemies will be slowed after time unfreezes. (Maximums are still dictated by upgrades)

Soul Gem:
Time Wave: 4000 coins
Jump and Press (T) to fire off a large blast of energy from the cannon into the ground. Creates an expanding wave that will go in every direction and freeze time for enemies. It deals an initial 90 damage and will leave a Croc on each enemy that will deal 10 damage a second for the next 3 seconds.
SG found in The Realm of Light.

Shrink Enhancement:
A Ripple in Time: 5000 coins
When shrinking, will freeze time for 4 seconds and release four mini crocs that will seek out enemies.
When growing, will leave behind a ripple in time. This is an exact copy of Shot Croc that will stay around for 7 seconds and copy any attack that he does during this time. Meaning if he does his (P) attack it will be immediately copied by the rift.

Release:

Wave 2 Legendary single pack release.

Variants:
Legendary Shot Croc:
Instead of the green and silver colorings, has blue colored skin with gold coloring all the cyborg parts of him.

Backstory:
Shot Croc was raised as one of the holy time keepers at Time Town. As one of the keepers he always believed that they should go out and help the Skylands fight evil, but that was against the Time Lord's wishes, so he stayed. He didn't give up on this idea though. Secretly he trained and became ready for battle all while excelling in his studies until the day when a new Time Lord would be chosen. With everything he'd done in Time Town, he was the obvious choice and became the Time Lord. Taking up the Staff of Time he left the other time keepers to watch over Time Town and set out to battle evil. Soon after, The Brain found Shot Croc and offered to let him join the Shrink Squad.

Personality:
A mysterious and reserved personality that gives way to a more boisterous one once you get to know him. He has the loudest laugh in the room and is extremely friendly.
