The Swamp, A type of wetland that is forested, surrounded by shrubs and standing waters, though they may be fresh, brackish, or made of sea. Despite its ecosystem, it's characterized by mineral soils with poor drainage and plant life dominated by trees. The downside of the Swamps was there was mud, wild animals such as alligators, and the costs of the leggings of your pants, socks, and shoes getting soaked everywhere once stepping into the swamp's lakes, though it's recommended to pull your leggings up and wear boots. Most people could take great boat rides, no matter if it's an airboat, a canoe, or a boat tour. Whether it's fishing or not.

Young adult Tomboy, Kristy, was one of the major examples of touring across the Swamps. Kristy was a chilled, petite girl who loved exploring the wilderness and hiking through nature by herself. Even when it comes to tourism, she prefers touring in solitude by herself. Whenever it comes to the other complaints and "warnings", her "I don't care" attitude has made her very unpopular with the Tourists. Her favorite kinds of animals are Alligators and Crocodiles, she would love to chill with them, tame them, and pet them even though they're in the wild.

However, all of that changed on the last summer afternoon when Kristy was separated from the tour when the guide led everyone to the right side of the Swamp, leaving her on the wrong path. But she didn't care, she ended up taking a skip through the Swamp waters, enjoying getting her baggy jeans wet along with her sandals and her feet while exploring the outskirts of the swamp, discovering things on her own.

“Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed~!”

Kristy sang to herself as she wanders around the swamp, looking for something interesting until what she had come across what appeared to be a rare Crocodile species.

“Wow, what is this?”

Kristy said to herself in amusement as what she saw was the “Eulipotyphlan Crocodile” aka the Hedgedile. Kristy has ever only read about it. The reptilian community seems to believe it's completely extinct and she couldn’t believe she had found one. 

As its name suggests, the Hedgedile is a hybrid species between a Crocodile and a Hedgehog due to its scales mixed with quills and sharp teeth and they're as solitary and as territorial as Crocodiles and they're Carnivorous too, though, they can be as passive as a regular Hedgehog and can turn themselves into a Ball, and it seems larger than an average Hedgehog due to sharing the same sizes as Crocodile species. Kristy wished she wanted to keep it, but she can't let anyone else not even experts find out about her discovery, they will either try to kill it or steal all her glory and take the credit.

Kristy has no choice, so she has decided to try and pet it with nobody around and to make sure she won't tell anyone afterwards.

“Come here, big guy, I won’t hurt ya!”

Kristy tried communicating with the Hedgedile, prompting she wouldn’t do anything harmful to the rare creature as the rare Crocodile species went closer to her hand. Kristy attempted at petting the Hedgedile, but then, using its sharp fangs, the Hedgedile bit Kristy right on the left hand.

“OWWWW! What the hell?!”

Kristy held her hand in pain just as she saw the Hedgedile swimming away, she expected to find a first aid kit to mend her wound...But it was already too late, it turns out that the Hedgedile's bite can turn anyone else into an Anthropomorphic/Mobian Hedgedile by any rare chance and unfortunately, Kristy was one of them. The next thing that Kristy knows is that she should've got another fact about said Reptilian hybrid and that she's gonna wind up transforming into the said Mobian Hedgedile and it all starts with the bite taking effect...

As Kristy fell to the ground, growling in pain, Kristy's hands began to turn green and scaley as they grew larger and masculine, the scars began to form on her wrists as she watched the green and light yellow scales spread throughout her entire arms. Her arms along with her biceps bulged and grew very mannish with a bit of muscles, her fingers then started growing claws.

“Oh my god…I’m growing scales!!”

Kristy shouted in shock as she looked at her enlarged arms and hands as she then got a bad cramp from her feet. The green scales started spreading on her feet as her toes merged into four, reptilian toes. Her sandals snapped in half as her reptilian feet grew out along with her legs. With the green and light yellow scales spreading from feet to her legs, her legs bulged and bulkened with a manly frame. As Kristy groaned in pain, her shoulders then broadened into a bulky, manly state with the green and yellow scales growing from shoulders to her chest. Her size was growing from petite to huge, she's about to become 13'5ft tall. 

Her spine then arched, becoming a manly posture with the green and yellow scales reaching out to her torso and back, her waist had cracked along with her hips, becoming more masculine as her thighs receded to its mannish state. her waist becoming a mannish abdomen, eight packs then grew on her abs with scars forming in-between them, her shirt's about to explode. She felt a pain from her spine once again as she suddenly grew a large, green and yellow scaly crocodile tail. Kristy looked back and felt her fully-grown tail that popped out of her blue baggy jeans with her enlarged hands...

“What is THIS? Did that Crocodile curse me or--?”

Kristy said just as her line was interrupted by an intense pressure applying to her chest. Once the yellow scales reached her chest, her A-Cups then receded away into nothingness and then grew into a pair of hard, swollen masculine pecs. Kristy growled again in pain as she tore off her shirt and bra to expose her reptilian pecs and abs. Kristy gasped in surprise as she felt her huge pecs along with a set of eight packs. The green and yellow scales sprouted on her neck as they broadened, a lump then grew from the inside of her throat as her voice deepened, becoming a much deepened, masculine, and monstrous tone. 

The green and yellow scales then formed at two sides of her face, her eyes bulged and grew larger, her sclera become black while her green pupils become red and glowing along with her eyelashes vanishing. Her nose becomes black and rounded as the yellow scales grew on her face as it started to stretch out and elongate. Her teeth then grew into sharper Crocodile-teeth. Her ears turned green and scaly as they grew pointy to the point where they moved upwards, becoming Hedgehog-like. The green scales then spread throughout her blonde hair, causing her lower pigtails to be unbraided, exposing her long-length hair. Kristy's entire hair hardened and has become green, scaly hedgehog spikes, more quills come out of Kristy's back and her face then finally grew to a muzzle of a masculine, Mobian Hedgehog and Crocodile hybrid.

Kristy then felt an intense pressure in her groin, the green and light yellow scales then reached below the waistline and then her crotch-area, she felt her womanhood groing outwards as it was getting bigger. Her hormones, reproductive systems, and sex chromosomes were all switched into the opposite gender, Kristy blushed as a new bulge had formed from below the waistline, rendering her as a him. His panties were shifted into a pair of brieves as her tight, blue jeans become a pair of brown, oversized pants fit for a giant Hedgedile.

The Physical changes are done and his transformation was almost over, as his mind slowly started changing and shifting in the process...he was no longer a chilled, carefree, petite, wilderness-loving loner named Kristy, but he is now Croc, a 13'0ft anthropomorphic Crocodile-Mobian Hedgehog hybrid who came from a chemical plant that brutally murdered Eggman and left Sonic and his friends in boredom until he hunts them down. He has extremely bad anger issues and is very animalistic, but he is extremely smart. He could roar, lash out his chains and anchors that could change anything, and can even devour his victims...though can't spindash unlike Sonic because of his HUGE height. 

After his transformation, Chains began to appear around Croc's body as he grabs one holding an anchor, he was soaking wet as he let out his animalistic roar again, preparing to lash out until...

“WAAAAAAAAH!!”

*SPLASH!!*

“OOOF! *Cough Cough* Oooh…Gross…”

“Hmmm?”

Croc then recognized that deep, monstrous and masculine voice of an Oni, tripping and falling over a Swamp’s Lake after fighting another creature that was about to go near his boyfriend…wait…his boyfriend, Croc?? Is that what he is?? Who was he??

Croc, blushing a little, then comes any closer to an Oni in the form of a Mobian Hedgehog, nearly recognizing his voice and his presence. He looms over the Oni's height and says...

“Are you okay??”

“Y-Yeah, Croc, I’m alright…I got em’ all that was about to ambush you but the next thing I knew I slipped and fell over this swamp water that caught your attention.”

“Oh, thank goodness, you’re okay, Tsume…”

Tsume...he knows his name...Tsume, that's what Croc realized and remembered something...Croc was in a relationship with his 7'3ft Oni boyfriend, Tsume, an EXE like him! That got Croc blushing so much to the point where his heart skipped a beat, as the giant Hedgedile picked up the tiny plus-sized-mixed-muscle Oni Hedgehog boyfriend and carried him, causing Tsume to blush as well.

“I can take you away from here and bring you into something much more comfortable enough. Would you like that?”

“…Yes~!”

Tsume, upon being carried, smiled, as he gave his giant Crocodile boyfriend a kiss on the cheek, causing Croc to blush even more as he bridal carried Croc, the two then proceed to leave the Swamp together as the feral Hedgedile watches on. Once they left, the Hedgedile then swims away to its nearby pack.

THE END.
