The Crocodile King
The Crocodile King, Scourge of the Marsh, is a crocodile-like hollow boss in VV: Ultimatum who sits on his throne in Swamp King's Retreat, respawns roughly every 5 minutes, and discards his Morning Star for a faster Cero-wielding second phase at 40% HP.
The Crocodile King is a crocodile-like hollow that rules the marsh from a throne in Swamp King's Retreat. Community documentation describes him decked out in a golden crown, a red cape and gold ornaments on his waist, legs and arms, crushing challengers with his Morning Star. He respawns on a cooldown of roughly 5 minutes, making him one of the most farmable bosses in the game.
Phase one is built around the Morning Star. Stomp is a yellow-kanji attack that crumples for low damage, King's Grasp is a yellow-kanji grab that ragdolls (dodgeable, low damage), and his Sweep and Slam are conventional blockable, parryable and dodgeable swings with medium damage and medium posture damage.
At 40% HP he enters his second phase, hurling the Morning Star away - the throw itself can hit you, so watch its arc - and switching to a set of new, faster attacks. He also gains access to his Cero in this phase. The documented phase-two move is Left Claw, a blockable, parryable and dodgeable strike at medium-plus damage and posture damage.
His drops are not listed in the current community documentation, and no exact level requirement is documented either. With the short respawn timer and a readable phase-one kit, he is commonly treated as a repeatable marsh fight.
