**Gustave** is the main antagonist of the 2007 American horror film *Primeval*.

A group of American tourists travels to the African country Burundi to capture and document a legendary man-eating crocodile named Gustave, but Gustave turns the tables on them by stalking the group.

## Appearance

Gustave is an abnormally large, muscular dark grey Nile crocodile who is stated that he could be "easily more than 20 feet (6.1 m)" long and weighs more than 2,000 pounds (910 kg). One of his notable characteristics are three bullet scars on his body while his right shoulder blade is also found to be deeply wounded. Gustave is a large dark grey Nile crocodile stretching a little over 20 feet in length and weighing over a ton.

## Personality

Gustave Is Depicted As A Selfish, Ruthless, Sadistic, Cruel, Anger, Rage, Manipulative, Intelligent, Cunning, Strategic, Monstrous, Cold-Headed, Arrogant, Bloodthirsty, Savage, Violent, Vicious, Dangerous, Destructive, Powerful, And Homicidal Predator who enjoys stalking and killing anything that came across his territory or got in his way, including both humans and animals, though he sometimes often leaves his victims' corpses uneaten. However, he would kill anything in his path, showing that he preferred to kill anything as long as they are in his way. Since crocodiles can go several months without eating, Gustave can afford to select his prey carefully.

## Biography

Gustave grew up in the rivers of Africa. It is unknown how old he is, but he is said to be more than a century old. He is depicted as a crocodile of god-like or prehistoric proportions. Nevertheless, Gustave grew to reach around 25 feet long, weigh close to a ton, and become the most dangerous and powerful predator in all of Africa and arguable one of the largest, if not the largest, crocodiles the world had ever seen, killing hippos, large buffalo, and on occasion humans. Throughout his existence, Gustave grew into a legend, many claiming to have seen him and even fewer living to tell the tale.
