**Alligator** (sometimes nicknamed as **Carligator**) is a special enemy that can spawn when the player stops moving.

Alligator is one of the deadliest enemies in the games.

## Appearance

Alligator is a six-wheeled green APC with a homing rocket launcher (or a rifle covered in foliage in Car Eats Car 3 onwards). He looks highly armored but actually has low health.

## In Car Eats Car 2: Mad Dreams

Alligator can spawn only on Normal mode and higher; the higher the difficulty, the higher chance on him spawning. His rockets are devastating and can quickly kill the player even with all the upgrades. The best way to deal with him is to run far enough so that he automatically disappears or use the ram (not suggested). If the player can't any of these, then they are dead.

Alligator spawns pretty close by but if the player is not moving by the start of the level, the enemy will either come and get stuck on the invisible wall or he will fall off the edge of the world.

## In Car Eats Car 3: Twisted Dreams

Alligator has the same role in Car Eats Car 3 - to kill an inactive player. Unlike in the previous game, Alligator now does not disappear if the player gets too far from him. He can now spawn in one of two forms: either as a rocket launching APC, or an ambush APC.

* Rocket Launching APC: Alligator is his normal rocket launcher self, same as in Car Eats Car 2. This version is arguably deadlier as Alligator's missiles are homing. Alligator sometimes gets stuck and that should be a lifesaver. Alligator could be taken out with the ram or the blaster. If the player is highly upgraded, then a few strong bombs can as well do the trick.

* Ambush APC: Alligator does not have a rocket launcher, but instead has a rifle that is covered in foliage. He looks very similar to ambush snipers. Alligator does not appear on the mini map (obviously because he is camouflaged) and his gun is not homing but does higher damage. The ram is suggested if you can get close enough.

## In Car Eats Car (mobile version)

In the first mobile game, Alligator is a lot weaker than in the two previous games. Alligator spawns like a normal enemy in the final 9 levels, starting with level 28.

He appears only once in level 28, but later he can spawn more than 5 times in a single level. Alligator shoots at the player with a rifle, but only straightforward and his shots deal less damage.

## Trivia

* Even though it's not said in any of the games, this enemy car's name is actually Alligator, as confirmed in the Car Eats Car 2: Mad Dreams trailer.
* It is unknown why Alligator only comes when the player stops moving. One of the possible reasons could be that Mad Head can only track Beetlee's position when you are not moving and so he sends an assassin to hunt you down. This could also explain why Alligator acts like a trained soldier.
* In Car Eats Car Mobile Version, Alligator is the only enemy car that shoots projectiles.
