Croc 2 Characters Guide: Croc, Gobbos, Baron Dante
The Croc 2 characters guide — Croc, the Gobbos, Baron Dante, the Dantinis and every face in the Kingdom of the Gobbos remaster.
Croc 2 Characters Guide: Croc, Gobbos, Baron Dante
The Kingdom of the Gobbos runs on a small cast with big personalities. This characters guide profiles everyone who matters in Croc 2 — the hero, the villagers, the villain and his goons — with their roles in the 2026 remaster's story.
Croc
The green-scaled hero of the series and the character you play. In Croc 2, Croc sets off across the mainland searching for his long-lost parents — the mystery his first adventure opened. He's a silent protagonist in the classic platformer tradition: expressive, acrobatic, and defined by his actions rather than dialogue.
The 2026 remaster polishes his moveset — updated controls and the new triple jump — without changing who he is. Everything about Croc's design says family-friendly adventure: big eyes, rounded snout, and a tail whip that means business.
The Gobbos
The small, furry villagers whose kingdom gives the game its subtitle. The Gobbos are Croc's found family and the people he protects — and in Croc 2, rescuing them is both the story's engine and the collectible system. They chatter, they help, and they're the emotional reason the adventure matters.
Per-stage Gobbo rescues are tracked in our Gobbo rescue guide — the completionist side of loving these characters.
Baron Dante
The series' big bad, revived by the Dantinis for Croc 2. Baron Dante is the purple menace whose return turns Croc's parental search into a rescue adventure — his magic and minions stand between Croc and the answers he seeks. As the final confrontation shows, the remaster keeps him every bit the intimidating finale the 1999 original built.
The village Guardians answer to him — each one a boss-scale test placed at the end of a village arc, profiled in the levels guide.
The Dantinis
Baron Dante's loyal goons — the small red minions scattered through every stage. Individually harmless, dangerous in groups, and the most common source of the game's combat moments. They're also the ones responsible for reviving their master, which makes them the story's inciting incident as much as its recurring obstacle.
King Rufus
The Gobbos' leader from the series' story — the figurehead of the Kingdom of the Gobbos whose guidance frames the adventure. His role in the story connects the first game's events to Croc 2's search.
