Alligator
Description
Alligators are large aquatic reptiles which tend to inhabit swamps, coastal waters, lakes, and other shallow bodies of water. They are carnivorous, but their hostility to players is variable across different habitants. Social aggro is also variable. Alligators are considered animals for the purposes of druid and ranger spells.
Unlike many other monsters, the /consider message is not reliable for determining hostile behaviors of many types of alligators, though it can tell you if invis is working.
Caimans and crocodiles are variants of alligators which are visually identical in EverQuest (although some minor physical differences are readily apparent in real life). In Oasis of Marr, all crocs and caimans are docile.
Lore
Alligators seem to be an important food source and companion animal for Trolls and Ogres in Innothule Swamp and The Feerrott. Their Gator Meat can be baked, pickled, or braised. Their Alligator Eggs can also be used in making dough.
Despite being edible to sentient races, gators also occasionally feast on them in return.
