When the animals of the Wildlands implored King Crocodile to stop the hairless apes, King Crocodile called for the animals to give him their powers. After all, the hairless apes are strong and devious. Only two animals did not give him their powers: the fly (for which Crocodile refused) and the wise python (whom refused to give Crocodile his powers). After the rest of the animals gave Crocodile their powers, King Crocodile joyfully devoured all the intruders. However, he then betrayed the animals, keeping their powers and hunting them in gluttonous fashion until he had his fill.[1]
As King Crocodile sat digesting all whom he'd eaten, the python gave him a prophecy: to be killed by one of the hairless apes or to be killed by something his pride thought him above. The python and his kin were the only ones to leave the Wildlands before it became enveloped by the Mists.[2]
The year of the Wildlands' capture by the Mists is the year known on the human calendar as 658 BC.[3][4]
