## Croc costume, redesigns

**"Dragon Croc":** In Series 1 of Emu's World, Croc was much shorter and a darker shade of green. He was also chubby and had spikes down his back. Due to his size, he was played by one of the kids instead of an adult but was still voiced by Freddie Stevens. The possibility of his redesign was due to the costume looking more like a dragon than a crocodile. He was played by one of the children from Pattison College, but voiced by Freddie Stevens.

**"Realistic Croc":** In Emu's World Series 2 Episode 1, Croc was played by Francesca Gerrard with Freddie Stevens doing the voice. At the of the episode he undergoes a transformation. For then on he was played by Freddy Stevens. For the rest of Series 2 of Emu's World, Croc's design went to a more extreme level. For this design, croc was tweaked to give a more realistic look with a bigger snout and eyes on the side of his head, resembling a real life crocodile. The possibility of this not lasting long was either due to Freddie Stevens being noticeable in the mouth or the fact that the design would've been traumatizing to children watching.

**"Classic Croc":** In Series 3, 4, and 5 of Emu's World and series 1 and 2 of AL, Croc's design was tweaked to be more like cartoon. His snout was smaller and his eye were wonky and on the front of his head instead of the side. This design was the longest lasting one until 1986. David Tate took over the role of Croc in Emu at Christmas (1984), and played the role until Emu’s Wide World Series 2, Glen Munroe then took over the role. This was the longest lasting Croc costume.

    **"Stylized Croc":** In Series 3 of AL, Croc's design was tweaked (or drastically changed) to a more stylized look. Croc's eyelashes were larger, the snout was a bit bigger, and the eyes were more beady. This design did not last long for unknown reasons.

**"Cartoon Croc":** Later in Series 3 of AL and for all of Emu's Wide World, Series 6 of Emu's World, and part of EMU-TV, Croc's design was brought back to the "classic look", but with a slightly bigger snout and way bigger eyes. This was to give croc his "cute" look back. It was another design that stayed a while until 1989.

**"Wide-Eyed Croc":** In 1989 in EMU-TV, Croc's costume was one again changed to have a wide eyed look.His eyes stuck out on each side of his eye, and were significantly large then before.
