Story Mode:

Intro Cutscene:

(Scene takes place in a town at night with an angry mob of villagers forming together.)
-Village chief: "Men, we have been terrorized by an ogre for far too long! We will come search for this monster and bring it to justice!"
*crowd cheering*
-Village chief: "Do not worry, fellow villagers! We shall kill the monster when it comes near us and it'll be all over! Grab your pitchforks and torches and let us get going!"
(Cut to an entrance to a swamp. The villagers enter it and encounter Croqos, who comes into the scene.)
-Croqos: "Who dare disturb Croqos in his swamp?!?"
-Villager #1: "IT'S THE OGRE!!!"
-Villager #2: "WE HAVE COME TO SLAY YOU OURSELVES!"
-Village chief: "As village chief, I declare that you be gotten rid of for you have terrorized our village, eaten our loved ones, eaten our livestock, and left an awful stench wherever you went! What what are your last words, foul beast?"
-Croqos: "Uhhh... Croqos last words..." *loud burp*
(Croqos crushes one of the villagers with his spiked club and then attacks the other villagers who try to flee from him in fear. Only a few villagers returned safely as the rest get clubbed to death. We cut to Croqos by himself in his swamp, picking the corpses he splattered onto his club and eats them.)
-Croqos: "Croqos want food from other places around world. Croqos done with just local domestic food. Croqos go and travel."
(Croqos gets up and leaves his swamp, in search of all the warriors throughout the world to feast on.)
-Croqos: "Croqos want try new food! Croqos find new food! Nothing stop Croqos!"
(All of a sudden, Croqos is halted by a random knight.)
-Knight: "Halt, monster! I won't let you go anywhere!"
-Croqos: "Shiny man in Croqos way!"
-Knight: "And learn to speak some bloody English properly, will ya?"
-Croqos: "GRAAAAAWWGH!!!"
(Croqos picks up the knight and rips his torso apart. He proceeds to keep going.)

Prologue:

Ogres are some of the most feared monsters by human beings, next to demons and goblins and other wicked beings. Ogres are a cannibalistic bunch that live in swamps and they mainly eat the flesh of human beings. Some people have fought ogres and won due to their lack of intelligence, while some others have fought ogres but wound up getting killed and eaten by them if they were unlucky. This is the case of an ogre named Croqos. Croqos is going around the world to feast on the warriors who are battling eachother as of now.

Rival Cutscene:

(Scene takes place in a circular arena surrounded by mountains, skulls, and crooked pillars with pointy ends and the sky is covered in clouds with colors ranging from grey to blackish blue. Croqos encounters Terusus, who stumbles upon the Sphere of Wonders.)
-Terusus: "W-what are you doing here? What are you?"
-Croqos: "Me? What you?"
-Terusus: "I am Terusus. I am an assistant of Aeramen, who is suppose to arrive at any minute so I can show him..."
-Croqos: "Croqos hungry!"
-Terusus: "Wait, what are you doing... AAAAAAAAHH!!!"
(Croqos picks up Terusus and bites his head off. As Croqos proceeds to eat the rest of Terusus, Aeramen comes up behind Croqos and the ogre turns his head. Aeramen sees Croqos's mouth covered in blood.)
-Aeramen: "Terusu.... what the fuck is going on here?"
-Croqos: *groans*
-Aeramen: "A monster, in Earth? That is preposterous!"
(Croqos turns his whole self towards Aeramen, revealing that he has been eating Terusus. Aeramen is in shock and horror of what happened to him.)
-Aeramen: "NOOO!!! Terusus! What have you done to him, you green brute?!?"
-Croqos: "Croqos hungry! Coal skinned man dare interrupt Croqos meal!"
-Aeramen: "You put the corpse of my friend right now! I'm serious!"
(Croqos throws Terusus's corpse at Aeramen.)
-Croqos: "CROQOS KILL COAL SKINNED MAN FOR DISTURBING CROQOS LUNCH TIME!!! GRAAAAAAAAWGH!!!!"
(Aeramen gets up.)
-Areamen: "Well even without my assistant being around anymore, I am not going to aboard this mission. And you, Croqos, since that's suppose to be your name, will not stop me!"

Final Boss Cutscene:

(After defeating Aeramen, Croqos sees the fabled Sphere of Wonders and walks towards it, only to be carried over to Hell. Croqos is greeted by Belial.)
-Belial: "Well will you look at that, an ogre in my realm."
-Croqos: "What place?"
-Belial: "This is Hell."
-Croqos: "And who you, red man?"
-Belial: "I am Belial, the Princess of Darkness. I am one of the many devils known in existence ever since Satan's failed war in Heaven. Normally, I'd expect a human to enter Hell but never have I met someone like you in... What the?"
(Camera cuts to Croqos eating a demon soldier's wings, infuriating Belial.)
-Belial: "WAIT A MINUTE!!! What just happened here right now?!?"
-Croqos: "Croqos hungry!"
-Belial: "Jeez, what is with you ogres?!? You always eat non stop!"
(As Croqos angrily stomps towards Belial, Belial summons his trident Nequitius and points it at Croqos.)
-Belial: "What? You're going to eat me, next? I am not going to be rendered into roasted devil! As a matter of fact, how can you even eat a devil?!?"
-Croqos: "RED MAN SHUT UP AND ENTER CROQOS BELLY!!!"

Ending:

(We're treated with Belial's P.O.V. as he's being dragged into Croqos's swamp.)
-Belial: "W-where are you taking me?"
-Croqos: "Croqos eat red man!"
-Belial: "Wait, WHAT!!!"
-Croqos: "Croqos want dine on red man!"
-Belial: "You know, if you eat me, you would just ruin the natural law because I'm the devil."
-Croqos: "CROQOS NOT CARE!!!"
(Camera cuts to Croqos and a bunch of other ogres.)
-Croqos: "Croqos got new food!"
-Ogre #1: "Croqos got new food!"
-Ogre #2: "New food!"
-Croqos: "Now that Croqos got food, we all pull food apart!"
-Belial: "OH COME ON!!!"
(They all grab onto Belial, by his arms, by his legs, and by his horns. Croqos does the honors in impaling Belial onto his own Nequitius and then the other ogres tear the arms, legs, and head off.)
-Croqos: "We eat now!"
(The ogres are seen enjoying their meal, which is the dismembered parts of Belial. The camera then rotates left to show Elora's half-eaten head impaled through a tree branch and Franco Domenico's severed torso suspended on one of the branches all shirtless while also missing an arm. The scene cuts to two swords clashing eachother to form an X in front of a shield that fades to existence, followed by the text "EPIC BLADES" emerging from behind the shield, followed by the credits with a montage of character renders and screenshots from each character's story mode as well as Sevendust's "Corrected" playing throughout.)
If you've read my recent journal, then you know by now that its time for hidden Epic Blades characters! Now that that's out of the way, let's go on to Croqos.

We all know what ogres are like. They big, ugly, cannibalistic, and they have very horrible hygeine. Now you would associate the typical ogre with Shrek, eventhough Shrek is an atypical ogre (I'm talking abou his movie counterpart, BTW). Croqos is the opposite of Shrek for Croqos, though still a big fat monster with nasty hygeine, eats people and still does it as to this day.

Croqos is like a combination of Earthquake and Kusaregedu from Samurai Shodown, and the oni in Mortal Kombat.

Now you may recognize Fred Tatasciore, since he's known for having voiced "monster" characters like The Hulk, Solomon Grundy, Bane, The Thing in Avengers Assemble and Carnage. Welp, here's another monster character for Fred to be voicing.
