Crocodile

Crocodiles are large, hostile reptiles that live in swamps and rivers. River Crocodiles have lighter coloring than the darker green swamp Crocodiles. The Crocodile attacks its prey by grabbing them in its jaws, and dragging them into the water. Once the Crocodile and its prey are in the water, the Crocodile will perform a series of bites and wrestling in the water until the prey is killed.

Crocodiles may drop scutes when they mature to adulthood, or when they are killed. These can be used to craft a Crocodile chestplate. This special chestplate grants the user faster swim speed, on top of armor protection.

Basking
Basking is a Crocodile behavior, where during the day the Crocodile lays in the sun. To indicate this, the Crocodile repeatedly opens and closes its jaws on the land. During this time, a Crocodile may lay eggs. The eggs are laid in a similar fashion to Chickens.

Taming
Wild Crocodiles cannot be tamed. However, hatched Crocodiles can be tamed. By obtaining and throwing a Crocodile egg, there is a chance to spawn a baby Crocodile. Baby Crocodiles will imprint themselves on whoever is around them.

Use
Tamed Crocodiles will defend their area of birth from monsters, making them almost like "turrets" for your base. Right-clicking on a tamed Crocodile will make it stay still and bask.
