Reference for Crocodile Tears, a major supporting character of the blog. Meet Crocodile, commonly called Croc by his friends, Crocky by his lovers, and ‘Crock of sh**’ by his enemies. Do you think he looks like the stereotypical roguish scoundrel character? Yes? Good. He does that on purpose. It makes his clients more comfortable around him. He may be a sleazy liar, but he’s obvious and honest about being a sleazy liar, so at least you know what to expect. The ponies that are hiding their sleazy liar-ness are the real ones that can’t be trusted. That’s his logic, anyhow.
Croc is, primarily, a bit of an asshole. He’s a con-artist, after all, and those two attributes tend to go hoof in hoof. He scams and steals from hardworking ponies, will flirt with anything with a pulse that’s of consenting age, and can be hired to acquire anything that, if caught with, won’t get him locked in Celestia’s dungeon for ten years. Less than ten? He’ll do it. His special talent involves acting, more specifically of the “big fat liar” variety. He’s quite good at it too, so don’t feel bad if you fall for it. But maybe, someday, someone will able to discover that his heart of stone and slime actually has a golden core. Probably not. But maybe.
