An order of large reptiles that encompases the Alligator, Gharial, Caiman and Crocodile families. While dangerous on land, they're pure killing machines in the wet element.
A crossover occurs when a character from one franchise makes a special appearance in a game from an unrelated franchise. Some games are specifically designed to be crossovers that bring together characters from two or more franchises.
Some games let players customize their character (or characters). Degree of customization may vary, with some games simply allowing to choose between different types of clothes, while others provide more detailed tinkering of features such as the distance between a character's eyes or hair color.
Some games portray cutscenes as portraits of characters talking to each other.
