The Crocodile is a green saltwater crocodile with sharp teeth, dark spikes on his back, long tail, amber eyes, short legs, and makes a tick-tock sound with his tail or his eyes popping up with sound as well. Fortunately for James, now known as Captain Hook after the loss of his hand, the ticking alarm clock in Tick-Tock's stomach gives a warning whenever the croc is near, allowing Hook to prepare himself for the danger moments away. The croc loved the taste so much that it fueled his hunger even further and Tick-Tock became obsessed with eating the rest of James, following him wherever he went. One day, however, James' hand was cut off in battle by Peter Pan, and fed to Tick-Tock as a snack. Years later, Tick-Tock would eventually grow to a monstrous size (considering he is a crocodile), and his never-ending pursuit to have another taste of James continued.

The ship adventure would also lead to Tick-Tock's first encounter with Hook, believing the captain was a codfish, prompting him to snap and chase after him in the seas. During his escapade aboard James' ship, the crocodile accidentally swallowed the alarm clock of one of the crew members, thus gaining his iconic nickname. Not long after being born, the young crocodile found himself aboard the ship of a young pirate captain named James, who would one day become the feared Captain Hook. He was adopted by a fairy named Rosetta, an early ally of Peter Pan's pixie companion Tinker Bell, whom he mistook for his mother. Tick-Tock was born several years before the events of Peter Pan, hatching on the shores of Neverland.
