Be careful around Cragadiles, they are incredibly dangerous.
Indeed, Cragadiles have quite the taste for pony meat.
Which is odd, considering their tongues are made of stone.
Yes, Cragadiles are quite odd, their bodies are composed completely of natural materials, in this case: rocks.
And if that wasn't bad enough, even if you manage to beat one, it will eventually rebuild itself using the magical energy of its soul.
A trait also shared by other Beasts, like Timberwolves or Xagons.
Luckily, there are very few Cragadiles in existence, and most of them reside in the Everfree Forest near Ponyville, which is where we met ours.
We were actually on the run from Hoofnippers (another Beast, will explain later) when we literally stumbled upon an out of place boulder. Suddenly the rocks began moving and an ominous green glow appeared around them, they moved together to form a-
Shiera, wait!
What?
We haven't said or done anything comedic in this chapter yet!
Well, isn't this slightly comedic?
No, this is me telling you we're not being comedic enough, thus trying to find a way for us to be comedic.
Well, now you're telling me that you telling me that we're not being comedic enough, which is not comedic and now we have to find a way to be comedic. Which I think is comedic enough.
No, you telling me that me telling you that we're not being comedic enough is not comedic enough.
It's getting pretty comedic now.
True, continue.
Alright then, so the rocks and boulders joined together to form a gigantic rocky crocodile.
Why didn't they call it a Rockodile?
It's trademarked.
Oh, I see.
This was the point where we had to figure out what to do.
Luckily for us, there was a vast flowing river nearby, which we fled to. From there, I carried Shiera over to the other side, which took some time-
What are you trying to say?
Nothing, I love you.
You can't just say 'I love you' and expect all your troubles to go away.
Of course I can, watch: I love you. And now we're back to the story.
We're not-
So I carried Shiera to the other side and the Cragadile jumped after us, but fell into the water.
*Sigh*
As it hit, it shattered into hundreds of pieces that were carried downstream.
Cragadiles have a very distinct weakness: water. Just a splash of the stuff will make it fall apart.
It's all to do with the molecular structure of the Cragadile's soul, when a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen in liquid form-
Shiera! This is not a science book! Please don't bore us!
What do you mean 'bore?'
I love you.
Oh no, not this time-
And... end of chapter.
