Kroq-Gar
An awesome bastard that made a few mistakes in his past, but made up for it by being a RAGE infused badass. Seriously, this guy is one of the most badass Fantasy characters ever to exist and yet he got little mention on this piece of shit website, until now....
Background
So, like every lizardmen, Kroq-Gar was just a regular Saurus spawn from the Lizardmen spawning-pool of Xhotl until demons invaded. He and his spawn-brothers tried to repel the demons from invading, but failed and their Slann was murdered by demons. Still, they were able to fight their way out thanks to the last blessing of their mage priests as well as their own sheer RAGE. After the Elves finally created the great vortex and vanished every demon from the world, it was only him and his Carnosaur Grymloq left from the spawn of Xhotl, making him the Last Defender of Xhotl. Luckily, Lord Mazmundi summoned Kroq-Gar and gave him a super cool prosthetic arm called "Hand of God" that could blast fire out of it, and told him to go get shit done in the name of the Old Ones. And so from that day on, Kroq-Gar and Grymloq began their epic crusade of going around the world and getting shit done.
Total War Warhammer 2
Kroq-Gar is one of the legendary lords available to play as in Total War Warhammer 2. He leads the faction Last Defenders on the eastern side of the Southlands (both in Vortex and Mortal Empires campaign) and can unlock his best bud and everybody's favourite man eating dinosaur Grymloq as a mount. He is also able to wield his Hand of Gods and his Revered Spear of Tlanxla, making him one of the biggest, strongest, bestest, and tankiest legendary lords available in the game.
To top it all of with awesomeness, he has a unique fighting animation against Queek Headtaker (pronounced "cunty mcdouche"). The oldest warrior of an immortal reptile race vs the best warrior of a short lived ratkin race.
Not enough for you? When upgraded with the Hand of the Gods and on Grymloq Kroq-Gar can kill Archaon on Dorghar with all his spells AND the Crown of Domination AND the Slayers of Kings, take note aside from the Vampire Counts (whose main tactic is to tarpit Edgy-on with zombies and spells) virtually no other legendary lord can take on him, dwarfs? Nope, Empire? Nay, Tomb Kings? Orcs, Elves? Other Chaos or Norsca? Nope, when you need to cancel the Endtimes accept no substitute but Kroq-Gar.
Why is he so awesome?
- What he did after the destruction of his home city, Xhotl. Pursued by numberless hordes of daemons, Kroq-Gar fled to the jungle with the remnants of the Xhotl army, and from then on he embarked on a desperate, unending Rambo-style guerilla war against the daemons. One by one his warriors were slain, until only he and Grymloq remained, but he kept fighting each and every day. How long did this situation last, you ask? Well... ONE FUCKING THOUSAND YEARS. Did he not get tired killing daemons each and every one of those days, you ask? Well, you don't get tired of eating every day, do you? Saurus are literally daemon killing biological machines. Of course Kroq-Gar never got tired of eviscerating daemons, because that's what he was created for. He's the epitome of the Saurus Warriors, a race that only exist to protect their Slann masters, fuck daemons, and be generally awesome. Essentially a ONE-SAURUS (and Carnosaur) ARMY.
- He's more than 8000 years old, but he still murders the enemies of the Old Ones like it's going out of style.
- He has a spear called the "Revered Spear of Tlanxla", which is probably one of the most deadly weapons in existence since it has the power to sap out its opponent's will to fight as well as shatter the magic binding of demons and undead. The spear itself was apparently wielded by said Old One Tlanxla, who is described as being a warlike entity that rides sky chariots to battle and has the power to fight even the Chaos Gods on equal ground. So yeah, its pretty awesome to be the owner of an Old One weapon.
- His "Hand of God" is a frigging megaman blaster. Seriously, it has the power to fire a small sun, similar to the one fired by Solar Engines, and dinosaurs with energy weapons are fucking awesome as fuck.
- While it's true that Saurus are immortal and they get stronger and tougher as they fight, Kroq-Gar is probably the oldest Saurus alive. Not only that, he is perhaps the oldest warrior (barring Kholek Suneater) in the warhammer world, meaning he has probably experienced all kinds of battle and fought all kinds of enemies, making him not only a great warrior, but also a great general.
- His Carnosaur Grymloq survived about as long as he has and is the best Carnosaur out of the bunch.
- He is on the top 5 list of the strongest warriors of Warhammer Fantasy, stronger than Abhorash himself.
- In the End Times, during the duel with Lord Skrolk, the rat man unleashed a plague so powerful that it killed Grymloq. Kroq-Gar was unaffected by the plague and proceed to give Skrolk what he wants.
- In Total War Warhammer 2, he has an awesome unique animation where he executes any unlucky SOB that tries to challenge him by grabbing their hand with his Hand of God and exploding them into bloody bits.
- Being a Lizardmen makes him automatically awesome. What is a frigging old as fuck super lizard wielding a spear that was held by a god who has fought directly against the chaos gods, with a prosthetic arm that can fire lasers, riding a carnivorous dinosaur while fighting and winning against other races on almost every continent? Awesome.
- When he rides Grymloq into battle, he literally becomes a big, angry lizard riding a bigger, angrier lizard.
- His skill tree in Warhammer Total War 2 gives you bonuses against every other race, making him a racist angry lizard.
