Vector the Crocodile

"Find the computer room!!"

- Vector in Shadow the Hedgehog

Vector the Crocodile is an exclusive character from the Sonic the Hedgehog series in the DLC Pack Villains. His in-game rival is Ripto.

CHAOTIX CROCODILE
Leader of a team that helps anyone in need, Vector is the brains of the team and founder of Chaotix. Along with his best friends, Espio the Chameleon, Charmy the Bee and the now retired member Mighty the Armadillo, Chaotix has been involved in various dangerous cases but Vector seemingly does it for the money but despite his greediness, he is kind-hearted and funny nonetheless. There have been times the team have even saved the world from Dr. Eggman or specifically, Metal Sonic.

LEGACY OF VECTOR

 * Knuckles Chaotix
 * Sonic Heroes
 * Shadow the Hedgehog
 * Sonic Gems Collection
 * Sonic Rivals
 * Sonic Rivals 2
 * Sonic Generations

Opening
Vector is sitting on his chair listening to music until Charmy barges in similar to Sonic Heroes. Charmy hands him a "help note" from an anonymous person giving big money. Vector quickly accepts until Espio appears out of the shadows. Espio comments on this note may be false, Vector negates Espio by saying that "look at the big grub!" and shows Espio the money the anon is giving. Espio acknowledges the last time they took an anonymous request (referencing Sonic Heroes) which Vector says "suck it up and let's go! We need this money" Espio, still uneasy about this, accepts the offer and the three storm off.

Rival
Name: Ripto

Reason: While walking about trying to read the same "help note", he bumps into Ripto whom threatens to turn him into dust if he does not say pardon. Vector then pushes the "little kid" out of the way and tells him that Halloween is next year. Ripto then notices Vector's body and says that he is a dragon and claims he hates dragons. Vector tries to get out of the situation by offering one dollar but Ripto burns it, angering Vector and the two battle.

Connection: Both Vector and Ripto are reptiles whom are loud-mouthed and silly. Crocodiles are one of many descendants of dinosaurs which Ripto clearly is.

Ending
Vector enters the Chaotix base with Espio and Charmy and laments that they haven't even received money. Charmy tries to cheer him up but Vector seemingly doesn't want to, Espio appears and hands Vector a walkie-talkie that requests help from Team Chaotix as soon as possible, giving big money again, Vector jumps back up to action with his team and head to save their client, noticing this magnificent power inside of him, he said "this will be a piece of cake".
