Basking Lizards

It only took the split second for Revenant to realize his teeth had done no damage to the crocodile for him to realize he'd fucked up, and seeing the massive prehistoric reptile rounding on him made his blood run cold. "Oh jeez!" exclaimed the surprised pup with a yelp, managing to leap back at the last possible moment before massive predatory jaws snapped down where his leg had been moments before. With his heart pounding and adrenaline racing through his veins, Revenant regained his composure and gazed in wide, shellshocked eyes at the lizard that had almost ended his life. Athena jumped in quickly, drawing the crocodile's attention away again long enough for him to swallow a few deep breaths and clear his head of the fog.

It was becoming apparent that the crocodile didn't see the wolves as big enough threats to chase it from its basking spot. Ordinarily, Revenant's lackadaisical attitude would have just let the crocodile be instead of bothering himself with it, but the beast had tried to kill him and would no doubt be a threat to his other, softer or less cautious siblings. Yeeeeeah, no, this thing was gonna die. Athena made the suggestion of rolling it over to get to its soft underbelly and the Klein prince shot an exasperated look over to her. Oh yeah, sure! Let's just flip the giant prehistoric killing machine like a turtle! No big deal! Was this lady absolutely crazy?! Well, actually maybe she was, since everyone in Fenmyre seemed to be at least a little insane.

Thinking on his feet, Revenant looked around for anything they could use to flip the crocodile over. Spotting a beached limb from a tree, the pup ran over and yanked it out of the sand. It was heavy, but not too heavy that he couldn't drag it over to the croc. Huffing and grunting, Revenant swung the tree limb towards the reptile. To his surprise, the crocodile just took it, letting the limb bonk it on its scaly snout. Revenant was perplexed—until the beats struck with lightning fast reflexes, champing strong jaws on the wood and crunching it like it was nothing. Revenant yelped as he was nearly dragged off of his paws, but it gave him just enough leverage on the croc to push all of his weight down on the opposite side of the tree limb. The croc was heavy, but the weight of the young dire wolf was just enough to raise the croc by its jaws and topple it onto its side. Dropping the limb, Revenant rushed over and threw himself into the sideways lizard, finishing flipping it over to expose its soft underbelly for Athena to deliver the killing blow.
