monsters of neoexodus:
kroca
Description
The creature before you at first appears
to be some sort of twisted animal,
a massive crocodilian biped whose
leering toothy jaws slaver at eye level.
However, the manufactured armor
girding the beast’s body and
the club grasped in its clawed
hand indicate sinister intel-
ligence lurking in its
brute frame…
The original
soldiers of the
First Ones, the
kroca sobeka
are massive
humanoid
reptiles. A
twisted hybrid
of man and
reptile created
by the
magic of
their
ancient
masters,
the kroca
appear related to the
kobura, sharing a common
language and culture and often cooper-
ating on the battlefield.
Most kroca are brutish thugs, fighting
in loosely organized bands and killing
other humanoids for food. They seem to
have a special fondness for human flesh

hunger.
on size ( such as improved grab or swallow whole )
can affect him. A kroca can use weapons designed for
a creature one size larger without penalty. However,
his space and reach remain those of a creature of his
actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with
the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change
the subject’s size category.
However, the more powerful and cunning First Ones
once marshaled the kroca into an army of disciplined
soldiers, and might do so again. The kroca respect
strength and willingly serve any creature capable of
exceeding them in power and bloodlust.
Ravenous ( Ex ): A kroca requires double the normal
amount of food and water to sustain itself each day.
If he does not consume adequate sustenance for more
than 24 hours, he suffers 1d4 points of Con damage
that day and each day thereafter. The damage heals
normally, but continues to accrue until the kroca can
eat and drink his fill.

Combat
On their own, kroca fight without subtlety. They are
not stupid, they simply see little point in complex
tactics when their massive bodies and snapping jaws
serve so well on the front lines. They charge into
melee at the first opportunity and remain there until
they or their foes lie dead.
Under the direction of a more cautious commander,
kroca will fight and maneuver with surprising exper-
tise, ranking up or dispersing as ordered and drawing
foes into ambushes with feints and sneak attacks by
their kobura brethren.
Kroca Sobeka
Characters
Kroca advance by character class, with a strong pref-
erence for the martial classes. Few kroca gain levels
in a class other than warrior, fighter or barbarian;
those who do are usually rangers. Kroca are both
unsuited to magic and forbidden to train in it; when
the First Ones require magical support for their
armies, they look to the Khaynites.
Cold Vulnerability ( Ex ): A kroca takes an extra 50%
damage from Cold.
Hold Breath ( Su ): A kroca can hold his breath for up
to 8 minutes without suffering ill effects.
Powerful Build ( Ex ): The physical stature of kroca
lets them function in many ways as if they were one
size category larger.
Whenever a kroca is subject to a size modifier or
special size modifier for an opposed check ( such as
during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip
attempts ), the kroca is treated as one size larger if
doing so is advantageous to him.
A kroca’s favored class is barbarian. Because more
powerful First Ones appoint the kroca leadership,
however, most are fighters.
A kroca is also considered to be one size larger when
determining whether a creature’s special attacks based

run action while swimming, provided it swims in a
straight line.
Even compared to the typical hulking kroca, this crea-
ture appears gigantic. Easily ten feet tall and sporting
a toothy maw wide enough to swallow a human toso,
it is a kroca among kroca.
Kroca Paragons are the largest, toughest, strongest
soldiers the First Ones have. Like other sobeka,
Kroca Paragons are bred to obey; even if they realize
they can snap their masters like twigs, they do not
do so - usually. The First Ones consider the benefits
of these massive slave-soldiers more than worth the
danger: if even a single squad of Kroca Paragons
assails a position, it is as good as taken.
Combat
Even more than their lesser kin, Kroca Paragons
dominate amphibious warfare. They can easily pull
the strongest humanoids under the water and hold
them there, drowning them or crushing them outright,
and even the greatest athletes cannot match the swim-
ming power of a Kroca Paragon.
On land, Kroca Paragons lose much of their mobility
- but little of their power. Armed with better equip-
ment and training than ordinary sobeka, they serve as
the unbreakable core to kroca units or, ranked up with
others like themselves, of entire First One armies.
