Let me introduce you to Zena's husband, Crog

Name: Just calls himself Crog. However, if truth be told, he is a Prince, as he is of the Royal Herogan bloodline, though he doesn't call himself one.

Race: Herogan/Moniter lizard mix. However, due to what happened to him, he looks more like a croc/snake hybrid. (Think Brontasourous only carniverous)

Occupation: Is the leader of a nomad group that travels to Grass City to stay for the summer, as that is where his wife lives. He used to be a soldier, but after his experiance as a prisioner of the Spidarians who destroyed Earth and Herog, he was given a medical/honorable discharge.

Size: Currently about fifty or so feet fro the tip of his tail to the tip of his nose

Age: A year younger than Zena

Sexualality: Mostly straight, though, if he was desperate enough, or if there wasn't anyone else avaliable for the person when they were going through a mating urge, he will have sex with another man, but very rarely does he do this, as he prefers women as his lovers, which is every women in his group.

Life story:

Born of a Herog father and Moniter lizard hybrid mother, Crog followed in his father's footsteps and became a soldier. However, after training, he was sent to Web, as part of a strike force. However, the squad that he was part of was captured by the Spidarians who had destroyed his ancestors' homeworlds. When it was discovered that, for some strange reason, he was immune to the effects of Spidarian venom, the leader of that faction decided to keep him and his squad alive, and subjected him to various expariments. One of these expariments caused him to grow to a rather large size, 40 feet, even larger than crocs and snakes of a simmilar age. At that point, the leader decided to tourture him in an unspeakable manner, and forced him to eat his squad mates alive, or they would die from the effects of Spidarian venom. After watching two of his friends die in that manner, he reluctantly ate the other two, to spare them of that one death. After that, as if to tourture him some more, the only thing that was delivered to his cell as food was the remains of humans, which he refused to eat.

During this captivity, there was a prisioner in the cell next to him, a woman of some sort. When the guards were not around, she would try to encurage him, telling him that some friends of her's would come to realese them. And someone did come, a force of Spdarians and their human allies, who came to free the female, who was the Queen Spidarian known as Jody. She told them that there was also another prisoner, but when the cell was opened, she was shocked, as Crog was nothing more than skin and bones, because he had refused to eat the flesh of humans, and just wanted to die anyways.

After their escape, during which the daughter of the enemy Spidarian Queen, who had been planning to defect, was killed, Jody set to nursing Crog back to health. Sometime later, a squad of soldiers, lead by a wolf named William, who was a friend of Crog's back in basic, came upon the camp, and was about to fight them, when he heard the voice of his friend, who had been captured more than four years prior. When the man checked his friend, he was shockedat the profound changes that Crog had gone though. However, the man asked a very important question, where was his younger half-brother. This was one of the men that Crog had been forced to eat alive. Needless to say, William was angry when he was told, and attacked Crog, calling him a man-eater and a caniabal.

After returning to Animalus, Crog went to the Commander, who was both William's and the man that he'd been forced to eat's father, and asked to be discharged, not only for the physical trama, but the mental and emotional suffering that he had been forced to endure. It was with a heavy heart, that the commander, who had been in a simmilar situation as Crog had been, in which he was forced to kill a squad mate so that he could survive in a starvation situation, which was got him married to the boy's mother as a result, granted Crog his request, saying that he was the best damn soldier that he had had the pleasure of commanding..

After he let the base, he went to his hometown, and went to a tasting house, where his high school sweatheart, who was the granddaughter of the leader of the human expaditionary force that re-discovered Animalus, worked at. Bespite her own shock at his apperance, she married him, and her own lovers, the youngest of which was eighteen, also fell in love with the man.

A year later, his youngest wife/lover, a red fox named Zeoy, came to the house with a large grey wolf that everyone had heard about, the famouse Swallowing Zena. The young fox asked him to give the highly dangerous theif a chance, a chance to change her ways. He allowed the woman the chance, with the understanding that he would kill her if she harmed any of his lovers. Over the next several months, he watched the woman change, saw her change from the most dangerous person alive, into someone who genuenly cared for others, especially his newborn sons and daughters, and started to develope feelings for her. However, deep down inside, Crog knew that her past would eventually come back, and since he was harboring a fugative, he would be in trouble.

When it finally happened, and Zena was arrested, Crog did everything within his power to get her sentance to be reduced as much as possible, from asking the Commisioner of the Wild Beasts to drop the various charges of kidnapping, murder and caniabalism against her, who had been planning to drop them anyways, to seeing if the various people she had robbed would be willing to settle out of court and so forth. Of course, there was still a large amount of evidance against her, and despite pleading guilty in hopes of getting a lighter sentance, she was still going to spend the rest of her life in prision, unless Crog did something that was unheard of, marry her, and see that she was placed under house arrest, and put into his custady. While this sort of thing was not unheard of, Zena was the last person that a man would even WANT to have as a lover, let alone as a wife, as she tended to assult, or kill, any man she had had sex with, especially outlaws. However, Crog had seen the real Zena, and believed that she didn't deserve to be in prision.Needless to say, the judge, who had been looking forward to seeing her behind bars for the rest of her life, was so angry when he heard Crog propose to her in the courtroom and heard the woman say yes, he broke his gavel as he slammed it on the podeum, making the marriage official.

However, by doing so, Zena effectively became Crog's prisioner, and for the next fifteen years, Crog wished that he could of found a way to have truelly married her out of love, as he had not planned on marrying her in that fashion. It was also during this time that the side-effects of the expariments done to him, as well as the emotional torment, took their toll, as he would grow between six and ten feet each year, and the nightmares of him eating those men pleagued him, but he was afraid to talk about them.

Then it happened, his past came to haunt him and his children were kidnapped by those who had tourtured him. Realising that he would need the best of the best to get his children back, he went before a judge, anhd struck a deal to secure Zena's release from his lands, so that she could help him get his children back, and his request was granted.

Needless to say, the rescue mission was a success, and not only did Crog ensure that Zena was pardoned, he also ensured that the two of them became immortals. When he was two hundred years old, he faked his death, which wasn't easy concidering that he was about two thousand feet long. Thankfully, Jody showed up with the reversal to her nefarius sister's expariment, but it would take time, and the smallest that he'd ever get would be fifty feet, but this was something that he could deal with, as he and Zena decided to travel the world, though she would go to towns when they needed something. When they were about four hundred years old, Crog was at the fifty foot length that Jody had told him about, which made him happy enough that the two of them traveled to Grass City to stay there for a while. However, after living there for several months, he felt the urge to travel, and left, after promising his wife of more than three hundred seventy-five years that he'd write her every chance that he got.

Unfortanatly, he never did. During a fight with some caniabal slavers, while trying to rescue a group of nomads, which he succeded in doing, he was struck with a blow that gave him amnesia, making him forget about most of his life, except for the feelings that he had of people. Of course, he was still a natural leader, and the leader of the group, who had been baddly injured in the fight, asked him to watch over his family, before he died. For the next eight years, as he lead the group, Crog had one question on his mind; Who am I? All that came to his mind was a large grey wolf, whom he would tell the children stories about.

One day, the group decided to enter Grass City, where it was said that a large grey wolf lived. During a chance stop at a tasting house, he met up with Zena, who promptly slapped him, restoring his memories, making him remember his promise to write her. Needless to say, she only let him leave town on the condition that every summer that he would come to spend the season there.

So far, for the past sixty odd years, that was something that he has yet to forget to do.

So, where is Crog, the former soldier turned nomad leader, at?
