Trivia[]
| [The diamond necklace] In the Paoul language, 'gatama gatawa' means 'mother's diamond necklace'. Long, long ago there was an island where the most beautiful woman was envied by her daughter, who was the second most beautiful. The daughter believed her mother's diamond necklace made her more beautiful, so she stole it. The gods turned the daughter into an ugly crocodile as punishment. This crocodile is said to have a belly full of diamonds it has swallowed, and so this ugly creature has a beautiful name.

(Le collier de diamants)En baoru, ''gatama gatawa'' signifie ''collier de diamants de la mère''. Autrefois, la plus belle femme du monde vivait sur une île avec sa fille, la deuxième plus belle femme du monde. Un jour, elle vola le collier de diamants de sa mère, pensant qu'il la rendait encore plus belle. Furieux, les dieux la changèrent en crocodile. Depuis, on raconte que le ventre du crocodile de Baoru contient les diamants qu'il a avalés. C'est ainsi que ce monstre hideux reçut ce nom ravissant. [Legende vom Perlenhalsband]In der Sprache Paouls bedeutet ''Gatama gatawa'' in etwa ''Perlenhalsband der Mutter''. Es war einmal eine Insel, auf der die schönste Frau von der zweitschönsten beneidet wurde, ihrer Tochter. Voll Eifersucht stahl sie das Perlenhalsband ihrer Mutter und wurde für diesen Frevel von den Göttern in ein Krokodil verwandelt. Darum heißt es, der Bauch des Paoul-Krokodils sei voll von den Perlen, die es verschlungen hat. Somit erhielt ein hässliches Geschöpf einen schönen Namen. [La collana di perle]Nel linguaggio di Baoru, ''gatama gatawa'' significa ''la collana di diamanti della madre''. La leggenda dice che tanto tempo fa, la donna più bella di Baoru era invidiata dalla figlia per la sua bellezza. La figlia era, infatti, la seconda donna più bella. Rubò la collana di diamanti di sua madre, pensando fosse l'origine della sua bellezza. Gli dei, per punirla, la trasformarono in coccodrillo. Si dice che la pancia di questo animale sia piena dei diamanti che ha inghiottito. 【真珠のネックレス伝説】ガタマ・ガタワァとはバオウル語で「真珠のネックレス」を示す。なんでも昔、ある島で一番の美人をうらやんだ二番目に美人だった娘が、彼女を殺害し真珠のネックレスを奪ったところ、娘は神の罰で醜いワニの姿に変えられてしまった……という伝説があるらしい。また、このワニの腹の中には、飲み込んだ真珠が大量に詰まっているとも言う。なんにせよ、獰猛な風貌には似合わない美しい名前である。 【Legend of the pearl necklace】Gatama gatawa means ''pearl necklace'' in the Pelago language.

Location[]
Endless Ocean 2[]
The Pelago Crocodile can be seen on land in southeastern Gatama Atoll at coordinates G-8, but only after a certain quest has been completed, and only during the daytime. At night, it is replaced by a leatherback turtle.
How to Find It
|
|---|
| In order to find the Pelago crocodile, the player must first purchase a telescope from Nancy, then look into it on the morning after a full moon. Upon doing so, they'll make note of a large, unfamiliar object floating on the water in southeastern Gatama Atoll.
When the player backs away from the telescope, Jean-Eric will approach them and say: "What is the matter? You look like there's something on your mind. Is there something you want to ask?" The player will explain what they saw, and Jean-Eric will cross his arms and say: "A large, odd-looking object floating in the water? That's not really enough of a description for me to tell you what it is. You said you saw it in the southeast of Gatama Atoll? Well then, let's go and have a look. We might find some clues." When the player goes to investigate and arrives in the southeast, Jean-Eric will come over the radio to comment: "So it looks like you're in the southeast. Can you see anything suspicious?" The player notes: There were reports of tracks that looked like something big being dragged. Jean-Eric replies: "Tracks of something big being dragged... Can it be... No, it can't be. They're... Anyway, go ashore now. You might find some clues. Keep a sharp eye out to make sure you don't miss anything." Going ashore will introduce the player to the crocodile. They will then earn the title "Dragon Tracker". |
Dialogue[]
Endless Ocean 2[]
Favorite Creature[]
Jean-Eric: "Can you hear me? This is Jean-Eric. My goodness! This is a legendary creature! It's the Pelago crocodile! As you can see, it's a marine crocodile. There are ancient records of it living in the Pelago commonwealth long ago. But it's now believed to be extinct. Nice find!"
Behavior[]
This creature stays stationary on land, occasionally flicking its tail. It seems to prefer being fed over any other form of interaction, evidenced by the fact that it's the only way to unlock its trivia. The crocodile will hiss at the player if they pet it, but despite this, it does not pose a threat to them.

Notes[]
- The Pelago Crocodile is the only legendary creature in Endless Ocean 2 to have a recorded length.
- The Pelago Crocodile is one of the only legendary creatures that is not simply an altered version of a regular creature seen in-game, but rather its own unique species.
- There are multiple quirks with how the Pelago Crocodile functions that have been found within Endless Ocean 2's data, that are impossible to see during unaltered gameplay. For instance, it has data tied to being a dangerous creature - such as attacking animations and aggression data[1] - that are never used in the final game. It also has working data allowing it to be placed into the Aquarium, swimming in the main tank rather than being on land in the Marine Life Annex[2].
- This suggests that the Pelago Crocodile may have initially been created as a dangerous underwater creature, and was repurposed into a land-dwelling passive creature at some point in the game's development.
- Additionally, this could imply that during development, it was not always a legendary creature, as no legendaries (except for the Ancient Mother and Magu Tapa, which could be placed in the Aquarium in Endless Ocean) have unused aquarium data. Compounding this is the fact that no other legendary creature's encyclopedia entry begins with its size, as the Pelago Crocodile's (and all non-legendary creatures') does.
- Though the intended species is ultimately unknown, due to their similarities in habitat and morphology, if the Pelago Crocodile was not a legendary creature, it could have simply been a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus).
- The spectacled caiman's animations are all named internally after the Pelago Crocodile: they are all prefixed with "d302", which is the Pelago Crocodile's creature ID[2]. Additionally, when viewing the spectacled caiman's texture, pieces of the Pelago Crocodile's texture can be seen underneath; used as a base layer for the spectacled caiman's.
- This implies the spectacled caiman was created using the Pelago Crocodile as a base, both for animations and textures.
- The legend told in the Pelago Crocodile's encyclopedia trivia has multiple differences, depending on the localization being played.
- In Japanese, the two women on the island are not related; they are only the most beautiful and second most beautiful women. Additionally, the second most beautiful is said to have murdered the most beautiful and stolen her necklace, as opposed to simply stealing it.
- In both English localizations and in French, "gatama gatawa" is said to mean "diamond necklace", while in every other localization, including the original Japanese, it means "pearl necklace".
- Likewise, the precious gem stated to be in the Pelago Crocodile's stomach also changes depending on the localization, to either diamonds or pearls.
