The Sultan Croc is a highly dangerous foe encountered occasionally in [[Lake Hinnom]] and the [[Palladium Reef]]. It can close distance with enemies using its powerful [[charge]] attack, and its bite has a high chance to [[dismember]] limbs. Unprepared characters may find themselves reduced to a helpless, faceless torso in only a few rounds of combat. | The Sultan Croc is a highly dangerous foe encountered occasionally in [[Lake Hinnom]] and the [[Palladium Reef]].

Sultan Crocs may conceal themselves beneath the surface of the water, emerging to attack when a target draws close. While thusly concealed, they are still visible as a red dot on the minimap (or a green dot if you are friendly with [[unshelled reptiles]]). | Sultan Crocs may conceal themselves beneath the surface of the water, emerging to attack when a target draws close.

{{Opinion}} | |||
* Due to the high danger presented by these foes, you may wish to use [[Sprint]] to flee from them and prepare yourself. | |||
* It is wise to carry one or more {{favilink|Ubernostrum injector}} if you plan to face them in melee combat, so you can regenerate lost limbs. | |||
* You may wish to tinker up a {{favilink|Freeze grenade mk III}} to render the Sultan Croc helpless, as their base [[cold resistance]] of -25 leaves them highly susceptible. | |||
* It is also effective to spawn clones of yourself using [[Temporal Fugue]] to distract the Sultan Croc so you are not torn asunder. | |||
* If you wish to avoid the issue, raise your [[reputation]] with [[unshelled reptiles]] until the Sultan Croc leaves you alone. | |||
* Because they can become [[frenzied]] without warning, it's best to give them a wide berth even if they display as friendly. | |||
