* City

***Waylon Jones** has character files in Arkham Origins, Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.*
**Waylon Jones**, a man that has a genetic disorder altering his appearance, has embraced his animal instincts and works as a cannibalistic hit-man.

## Arkham Origins

### Notes

* Instinctual hunter with heightened senses
* Dynamic physiology - appearance continually changes

### Profile

Medical records class Jones as suffering from a rare form of an epidermolytic hyperkeratosis. It normally causes skin to scale. But there’s more to Jones than that. It’s true that his skin has grown dense enough to repel gunfire, but that doesn’t explain the rest of the changes: his size, sense of smell, unexplained dental eruptions, and warped digits. The degree to which he has been affected is remarkable and suggests this may actually be a form of atavism that simply resembles hyperkeratosis. It may also be the result of intentional genetic manipulation. Further study is required. Regardless of their origin, his strength and ferocity make him an immense physical threat.

## Arkham Asylum

### Attributes

* Killer Croc has incredibly thick, tough skin and razor-sharp teeth and claws
* An Expert wrestler, his strength and stamina are at a near-superhuman level
* Heightened senses and extremely fast reflexes
* Able to survive in water for extended period of time
* An intense hatred for humanity

### Story

Born with a rare mutation that made his skin green and scaly and grew his body to grotesque proportions, Waylon Jones was raised by an alcoholic aunt and bullied relentlessly for his appearance. He briefly worked as a carnival freak under the name Killer Croc, but his misanthropy grew as did his bestial nature, pushing him to a life of crime. As his physical condition and mental state deteriorate, Killer Croc becomes a more bestial foe, increasingly detached from humanity.

**Waylon Jones:** So is this the part where you try to reason with me? Find out why I did it, Doc?
**Doctor Whistler:** We’re here to help you, Mr. Jones.
**Waylon Jones:** You got a cure for me then, Doc? Can you make me… normal?
**Doctor Whistler:** Normal is a poor choice of words. No one is really normal, are they?
**Waylon Jones:** Figured as much. So how about this, Doc? You let me go now, and I won’t eat you.
**Doctor Whistler:** You don’t really eat people. It’s just an urban myth.
**Waylon Jones:** You think? Keep believing that, Doc.

### Patient interview #5, February 25th

**Aaron Cash:** Sit down and shut up!
**Waylon Jones:** You think I’m scared of you, Cash? I’ve got your scent, you’re…
**Aaron Cash:** And I’ve got yours too. Know what? It stinks. Carry on, Doc.
**Doctor Whistler:** Please don’t do that again, Mr. Cash. It’s not helping. I’m sorry about the collar, but what can we do if you insist on hospitalising 2 guards?
**Waylon Jones:** Strap on whatever you like, Doc. This thing just tickles. I’m happy to wait here. Wait for the Bat. He’ll be back and I’ll kill him. Then Cash. Then you.
**Aaron Cash:** In your dreams. Now get up. Now!

### Patient interview #6, February 26th

**Doctor Whistler:** Patient interview Waylon Jones. Progress has been slow. What happened back in that house?
**Waylon Jones:** Just business.
**Doctor Whistler:** Business? What kind of business practices result in a house full of mutilated corpses?
**Waylon Jones:** I don’t like having my time wasted. Someone doesn’t pa, they need a lesson. They owed me.
**Doctor Whistler:** So you killed them. Tore up their bodies. The police never found all the pieces.
**Waylon Jones:** They should have looked in the sewers.
**Doctor Whistler:** Are you saying you hid them there?
**Waylon Jones:** After a while. Usually takes about 8 hours.
**Aaron Cash:** Time to go, Croc. Get up!

**Waylon Jones:** Me too, I nearly choked on that bony hand of his.
**Doctor Whistler:** That’s disgusting. He could have died.
**Waylon Jones:** He’s just food to me. And once I get a taste, I want the rest of the meal. You know what I mean?
**Doctor Whistler:** Get him out of here. Now!
**Waylon Jones:** Got your scent too, lady! I’ll see you around. Tick tock, tick tock.
