	~~==Behind the scenes==~~
	Crocodiles were significantly less threatening in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Origins]]'' than they were in ''[[Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag]]'', as Bayek was able to confront and kill multiple crocodiles with his melee weapons, whilst Edward could only hope to repel them temporarily in open combat, and thus relied on stealth and ranged weapons to dispatch of them.
