Strategies

The Alligator is useful against both weak, small swarms, and one singular strong entity. However, it struggles against large swarms or multiple stronger entities, as such, the player can provide support and preserve the Alligator by providing aid. Not only do they act as great distractions, they can demolish Werewolves quickly due to high melee DPS. So, it is recommended to let the Alligators do the work during Werewolf Nights. When the Alligator dies, its body can be used as fuel.

Trivia

The alligator is the third entity in the game that can be spawned from a Train. The first ones were Spirits (Ghost Train), while the second was Ghost of Lincoln (Presidential Train). The Alligator is inspired by Yeat's Alligator, which featured in a cover shoot for his "Dangerous Summer" extended play sometime in August 2025. When the Alligator is on fire, only the neck and the lower jaw is seen to be the burned part while the rest of the body seems fine. The same happens when it is covered by acid, with the graying only happens at the neck and lower jaw. This is due to the Alligator having a custom rig. Alligator, and the Friendly Ghost of Lincoln, have a collide box, so they can easily obstruct and block the player if they followed them, or fling other Entities. Due to Yeat's Train no longer being accessible, this is the first entity to be partially accessible in gameplay terms, as if the player has the train, it will stay permanently, The Alligator's model is reused from the Lizard in Crab Lab, which is one of RiccoMiller's other games.
