The base Chuchill VII is [[MightyGlacier very slow but tough to kill]], just like its reptilian namesake, but Germans quickly found other reasons to fear the Crocodile.

Crocodiles were spectacularly effective at shrugging off fire while turning bunkers and trenches into flaming death traps, and most Germans troops who faced Crocodiles surrendered upon seeing it idly ranging its flamethrower in their genreal direction.
