Description

And they shall call him Algodon, the Crocodile that walks like a man! Yes, it's Spanish for cotton, but looking at the towel every day, seeing the word Algodon on its little tag, it inspired me. I mean, Algodon - it just sounds like a dinosaur or lizard man, donnit?

As befitting a humanoid dinosaur, Algodon is tough. He doesn't dodge, he sits and sucks up damage easily. He's more durable than he is strong, however.  He, however, by dint of his powerful tail, can LAUNCH himself a few hundred feet in a leap.  He specializes in intercepting hits meant for his friends.  That tail also is a surprising whip that can swoop around and catch you off guard. 

Also as befitting a humanoid crocodile, he's a great swimmer - again propelled by that tail, he can hold off drowning, and like any good reptile, he can hold off on eating for a long time thanks to his metabolism. He still needs to breathe air and eat eventually, but he can go long stretches.  His uniform is actually a heat collector, allowing him to survive in environments which would put ordinary crocodilians into hibernation. 

More interestingly is his breath weapon.  It's not fire - it's some form of electrical plasma lance which is devastating in combat.  The electric breath is inspired by my dreams of being a were godzilla.  Yeah, good sleeps. :D  it was also "borrowed" from my cyborg T-rex.  This seems a lot more fun.

Y'know, I forgot to ask, what sort of personality does Algodon like?

And since he specializes in durability, how much punishment has he been able to take? :D
