Alligator

The **Alligator** is a pet in Granny 3.

## Appearance

The **Alligator** is an aquatic reptile with a dark brown scaly hide, a pale yellow underbelly, and a V-shaped snout. It has yellow eyes.

## Behavior

The **Alligator** is semi-stationary, as it will only stay below the water in the Moat, swimming in circles, thus not posing a threat to the Player.

However, if the Player falls in the water at any time, the **Alligator** will be aware, making a loud roar and rushing towards the Player. The **Alligator** cannot be outran, and the Player will not be able to escape due to it being too deep. Shooting the **Alligator** with the Shotgun will not kill it, and will instead stun it for only second, which is a waste of Shotgun Ammo as it cannot be escaped.

## Game Over Scene

It makes an appearance in the second Game Over scene; when the Player turns around, they can see the **Alligator** awaiting hungrily on the edge of the Moat. Once the Player has been shot off the Roof, the **Alligator** will catch them in its mouth, killing them and ending the game.

## Trivia

* The **Alligator** is one of the only pets in the series that cannot be killed.
	+ The other is the Kraken Monster, as it will only let out a groan when shot.
	+ The **Alligator** only gets stunned for one second when the Shotgun is used on it.
* Despite the texture and model name calling this animal an "alligator", it actually appears to more closely resemble a crocodile, due to its coloration and the shape of its snout.
* The **Alligator** is the successor of the Kraken Monster from Granny: Chapter Two.
	+ Like the Kraken Monster, it serves as a way to protect access from easily skipping a puzzle or two, coincidentally both in an escape procedure.
		- The Kraken Monster has an extra use however, guarding the Stream to protect The Child.
	+ They both only show up when you step foot into the water, although with the Water Monster's case, it thrashes when you first encounter it in the sewer.
		- They are also both an inescapable threat if you do fall in, but are otherwise harmless.
	+ DVloper refers to it in the game files as, "Monster."
	+ Like the Kraken Monster, it is unknown how the Player lives another day once they are eaten, however, the Alligator has no teeth in-game, technically giving an explanation.
* The model used for the **Alligator** is sourced from a Unity Asset Store package titled "Alligator mon."
	+ In-game, the poly count is drastically reduced, and it is retextured.
		- Its poly count is reduced to the point where it has no teeth.
* The **Alligator's** behavior in its Game Over scene implies that it is treated as another pet in the family, much like the Crow.
* The **Alligator** has an idle animation, but it's impossible to see in the normal game as it is always submerged.
	+ You can use hacks to see it.
* If you use mods to escape the moat, the Alligator will simply disappear
* The **Alligator** is arguably the most forgotten pet in both the game and the series, due to it not making its presence known, outside of the death scene and if you fall in the Moat.
