TumblingDantini1

A Tumbling Dantini, having defeated Croc.

Dantinis

A Pirate Dantini.

The Dantinis are one of Croc's worst enemies.They are Baron Dante's slaves. They are reconized by there 'evil' laughs.

The Different Varieties

There are several different varieties of Dantinis. Here is the list:

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos

  • Chasing Dantini - They are the first Dantinis you face. They are red-brown colored dantinis with no armor or clothing, who only attack by chasing Croc around and touching him. They are considered the 'underlings' of the Dantinis. There are some fire varients of this Dantini which cannot be killed until the fire around them has extinguished.
  • Devil Dantini - This type of Dantini has horns, is black, and attacks by shooting fireballs through a black pitchfork. The only two differences are that some walk and some stand on the spot. They usually laugh at Croc after they fire and when they come back to life. Their cry is the regular "Hahahah".
  • Ice Dantini - Icy, blue and white colored Dantinis that appear on Ice Island and attack by throwing snowballs at Croc. Resemble Devil Dantinis. Their cry is a unique "Rhaa" sound.
  • Tumbling Dantini - Only one of this type is seen, in Forest Island, frolicking around. It wears a green jester hat with yellow bells on it, wears a orange full body suit, has one green boot and one orange boot, and one green arm and one orange arm. It is immune to damage while rolling but can be attacked when it stops or when it's walking. Has no other attack than touching Croc. Their cry has a slight difference being a "muhahaha".
  • Bat Dantini - Maroon Dantinis with bat wings who do not attack, but fly around. If Croc is touched by one, he loses crystals/lives and will fall off monkey bars. They can only be killed (practically) by the tail whack attack as they are usually above bottomless pits. Their cry is most likely the bat screams that are in the castle theme.
  • Swimming Dantini - Green Dantinis wearing scuba gear who shoot with a trident and sometimes swim around. They have full scuba set, and their flippers can be seen. They appear in most underwater segment of the game, including The Deadly Tank of Neptuna. Same as the Devil Dantini with some swimming around and some standing still.
  • Stomping Dantini - Purple Dantinis with a single horn on their heads who attack by stomping on top of monkey bars, making them difficult for Croc to use. If Croc is hanging onto the monkey bars below this Dantini when it stomps, Croc will be forced to let go of the bars, falling into whatever hazard awaits below. This Dantini say's "HeeHee" before it stomps on the monkey bars unlike the usual "HaHa".
  • Spiky Dantini - Dark green Dantinis who can only be killed by smashing the ? box-like platforms on which they walk on. These are only found in the first castle jigsaw level (Smash and See). Due to there being no crystals on this level Croc will die instantly if he is hit by this Dantini. When their path is eradicated by smashing the "?" boxes, they will walk into the gap not realizing the danger, and fall into the bottomless pit below, sealing their fate. Their cry is unique making an "Huh?" then followed by a "Whaaaa" before they fall. This type of Dantini appears to be quite stupid possibly because of their immunity against Croc.
  • Jumping Dantini - Blue Dantinis with brown horns which jump between two platforms, attempting to prevent Croc's passage. These can be killed like most Dantinis with a stomp or a tail whack.
  • Kidnapping Dantini - A dark blue Dantini who runs around, holding a Gobbo under his arm. Must be hit to obtain the Gobbo. In the PC version, there is a green average speed version (I Snow Him So Well) and a super fast orange one (Tower Of Power). So there are two kinds of this type of Dantini.

Croc 2

  • Pirate Dantini - These are found in Sailor Village and are exactly the same as the Chasing Dantini in Croc 1.They are brown, carry a sword and have an eyepatch.
  • Stealing Dantini - The first one appears in Sailor Village and has the gobbo you need to rescue; the second one is found on the last "story" level, when Baron Dante tries to prevent the professor gobbo from alligning the colour crystals. Its black and has an almost stoney appearance.
  • Devil Dantini - These light purple dantinis shoot blue sparks out of their a pitchfork. They are similar to the devil dantinis in Croc 1 except they shoot much slower projectiles.
  • Fire Dantinis - They are found mostly in the cossack village and (mainly) caveman village. Similar to the Devil Dantinis, they shoot red fire instead of a blue spark that will ignite areas in certain levels. They are red instead of purple.
  • Skeleton Dantinis - This rare dantini is found in the level cannon boat keith, and in some stages of the cave man village. As their name suggests, they appear to be dormant skeletons but are woken when Croc comes too close to them.
  • Baby Dantinis - These are found in Inca Village. They are dressed in baby uniforms, and each have different roles. Some throw babies, run around with them, push them on swings. Others will just shoot blue sparks at Croc with their pot-like weapons. They cannot shoot Croc whilst he is holding a baby gobbo.
  • Conquistador Dantini - Found in Inca Village. They shoot green sparks out of a blowgun.

Trivia

  • In Croc 2, the Sailor King says that "The Dantinis are very naughty. It's not their fault, though". Examples of friendly Dantinis are Fosley from the original game, and a few Conquistador Dantinis from Croc 2 who push baby Gobbos on swings
  • The Dantinis in Croc 2 are massive compared to Croc than being about the same height in Croc:Legend of the Gobbos. It is unknown what altered their sizes drastically but it could have happened when Dante lost his power and hold over the Dantinis or that they wanted to compensate for their loss by increasing their height with the use of drugs (they could ressurect so its possible). Another reason which probably makes sense is because Croc was portrayed to be only a bit taller than the Gobbos when in Croc: Legend of the Gobbos he was three times their height.
