Tick-Tock the Crocodile

**Tick-Tock the Crocodile** (better known as just the **Crocodile**) is a supporting character in *Thomas and Twilight Sparkle Meets Peter Pan.* He is a crocodile of monstrous proportions that dwells on the isle of Neverland. After swallowing the hand of Captain Hook (who lost it while battling Peter Pan), Tick-Tock has been in pursuit of the villainous captain in hopes of devouring the rest of him. However, the crocodile also swallowed an alarm clock at some point, and its constant ticking acts as something of a warning for the ever-fearful Hook.

## Background

Tick-Tock was born several years before the events of *Peter Pan*, hatching on the shores of Neverland. He was adopted by a fairy named Rosetta, an early ally of Peter Pan's pixie companion Tinker Bell, whom he mistook for his mother. Not long after being born, the young crocodile found himself aboard the ship of a young pirate captain named James, who would one day become the feared Captain Hook. During his escapade aboard James' ship, the crocodile accidentally swallowed the alarm clock of one of the crew members, thus gaining his iconic nickname. The ship adventure would also lead to Tick-Tock's first encounter with Hook, believing the captain was a codfish, prompting him to snap and chase after him in the seas.

Years later, Tick-Tock would eventually grow to a monstrous size (considering he is a crocodile), and his never-ending pursuit to have another taste of James continued. One day, however, James' hand was cut off in battle by Peter Pan, and fed to Tick-Tock as a snack, thus fueling the croc's hunger even further. Fortunately for James, now known as Captain Hook after the loss of his hand, the ticking alarm clock in Tick-Tock's stomach gives a warning whenever the croc is near, allowing Hook to prepare himself for the danger moments away.

## Trivia

* Tick-Tock the Crocodile guest star in Thomas and Twilight Sparkle's Adventures Series to follow Captain Hook around and chase him, trying to eat the rest of him.
* Tick-Tock and the Octopus both attack Hook together in the *Jake and the Never Land Pirates* episode "Cubby's Pet Problem". This episode marks their first appearance together, later followed by a brief cameo in the episode "Jake's Royal Rescue".
* There is quite an inconsistency between the idea that, as shown in *The Pirate Fairy*, Tick-Tock started chasing Hook even before Hook met Peter Pan for the first time, and the line of the original film where Hook says the Crocodile started chasing him because Peter threw his cut hand to Tick-Tock, and that "that cursed beast liked the taste of [him] so well, he's followed [him] ever since, licking his chops for the rest of [himself]", implying that the Crocodile was not interested in eating Hook before tasting him.
* However, since *The Pirate Fairy* is set many years before Peter Pan and Hook's first meeting (and thus the aforementioned incident with Hook's hand), it is possible that the two didn't meet again after the events of *The Pirate Fairy* and Tic-Tock stopped wanting to eat Hook until the incident in which Pan fed Tic-Tock with Hook's hand, something supported by the fact that the Crocodile was nowhere to be seen in the film's mid-credits scene.
