Never smile at a crocodile. No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile. Don't be taken in by his welcome grin, he's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin! Never smile at a crocodile, never tip your hat and stop to talk a while. Never run, walk away! Say "Good night.", not "Good day.". Clear the isle and never smile at Mr. Crocodile!
~ Peter Pan to Tick Tock about eating Captain Hook.
Tick Tock the Crocodile, also known as Tick Tock (occasionally spelled "Tick-Tock") or sometimes just called "The Crocodile", is a supporting character in Disney's Peter Pan franchise. He is a large, voracious crocodile with a strong desire to consume the pirate captain James Hook after being fed his hand by Peter Pan.
In the original film, his vocal sound effects were provided by the late Jimmy MacDonald. In Jake and the Neverland Pirates, he was provided by Dee Bradley Baker.
Appearance wise, Tick Tock resembles a typical crocodile. However, his eyes tend to bop by the sound of the ticking alarm clock in his belly.
Tick Tock is a very mischievous and crafty crocodile who will stop at nothing to eat Captain Hook and anyone else in his way. His solution to every problem is to simply try and eat it, regardless of its effect or what/who the problem is. However, as shown by Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Tick Tock does not just chase Hook to try and eat him, but also has a source of thrill and entertainment, considering what he and Hook have to be a tight rivalry. He will even go as far as to abandon the chase if Hook is unwilling to contribute.
Due to his large size, Tick Tock is quite strong, able to break through solid rock with ease, and is also a fast swimmer. Even Captain Hook, a skilled combatant greatly feared by the rest of his crew, is utterly terrified by his very presence.
Biography
The Pirate Fairy
Tick Tock is first discovered by the fairies as an egg, hatching in front of Rosetta. With her being the first person he sees, he hugs her and believes her to be his mother. He follows her around and helps her when she is in danger, saving the fairies from a trap and joining in their battle against the Neverland Pirates. During the battle, he accidentally swallows the cook's alarm clock, leading to his constant ticking sound and new nickname. However, Tick Tock stays behind after the ship is stolen by Zarina, and chases James Hook, planning to try and eat him.
Peter Pan
Years later, Tick Tock still chased Hook with plans to eat him. Then one day, Peter Pan cut off Hook's hand and threw it to him. Tick Tock ate it and enjoyed it so much that he abandoned his search for normal prey in order to chase Hook until he got the rest of him. Tick Tock frequently visits the ship, popping out of the water and waiting for Hook to make a mistake and fall off. However, Hook usually cowers in fear, and Tick Tock had to be shooed off by Mr. Smee. At some point, Tick Tock ate an alarm clock which constantly made a ticking noise, allowing Hook and Smee to tell whenever he approaches.
Later, after Hook and Smee kidnap Tiger Lily and take her to Skull Rock, Tick Tock is shown following them, briefly smiling to the audience, then continuing on. The Crocodile watches as Peter Pan and Hook fight, and when Hook is left dangling from a cliff, Tick Tock sees his opportunity and snaps at him, tearing his coat as well eating it. Peter asked Tick-Tock if he likes codfishes which he quickly confirmed he does. He jumps up again and pulls Hook into his mouth, but Hook manages to escape with help from Smee. Tick Tock chases him back to the ship, and circles it for the rest of the night.
During the climax, Tick Tock waits in the waters around the ship waiting for someone to fall off, especially Hook. Hook almost stumbles off the plank, but recovers, leaving Tick Tock disappointed. He watches Peter and Hook sword fight, waiting for one of them to fall. When Hook finally falls, Tick Tock chases him around the water, briefly eating him before Hook escapes again, and is left chasing him far away.
Return to Neverland
In the sequel, Hook says that he rid himself of the crocodile. It is not fully known if this means he finally lost him or somehow killed him. However, he was eventually replaced by a new threat: a gigantic octopus that also became obsessed with eating him just after getting a taste. According to Mr. Smee, in comparison to the octopus, Tick Tock had manners.
Jake and the Neverland Pirates
Tick Tock appears as a major recurring character in the Disney Junior show Jake and the Neverland Pirates, usually serving as an obstacle or foe for Captain Hook. In the show, it is revealed that he makes his home in a secluded area of Neverland called Crocodile Creek, where he spends his time scheming on how to get Hook or sleeping.
In most episodes he appears in, he is usually the main obstacle when it comes to traversing Crocodile Creek, often going after Captain Hook should his pirates ever come through. When he is sleeping, the characters make it a point not to wake him, as he will be angry if awakened. It is also shown that Tick Tock seems to have somewhat of a personal relationship with Hook, as he enjoys the thrill of the chase and is confused and even uninterested if Hook does not struggle or try to escape.

Although Raja eventually escapes from Tick Tock's stomach and flees, never to be seen again.
Later, the elephant herd comes across a wicked mouse who scares them all. However, Goliath II is not afraid since the mouse is about his size, and the two battle. Goliath II overpowers the mouse and dangles him over Tick Tock's waiting mouth, but the mouse surrenders and Goliath II lets him go, earning the respect of his herd, although the mouse's surrender is to Tick Tock's disappointment.

Trivia
Given his incredible size and ability to travel through any body of water in Neverland, he most likely a saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus).
Tick Tock has made more cameo appearances than any other Disney character, save potentially Mickey Mouse (in the form of Hidden Mickeys).
It’s debatable as to whether or not Tick-Tock can be considered a villain. He seems more of a hero since his ultimate goal is to devour Neverland’s most dangerous threat, Captain Hook. He also appears to be very friendly towards Peter Pan and his allies, as shown when Peter asks him, “Hey Mr. Crocodile, do you like codfish?” Knowing that he’s referring to Hook, Tick-Tock gleefully nods to say yes, To which Peter responds, “You do?!” Before he goes after Hook.
Tick Tock's theme is "Never Smile at a Crocodile", which plays during most of his screen time, and in many variations, in the original Peter Pan film.
Although Captain Hook is his main obsession, Tick Tock does try to eat others on occasion, as shown by his attempt on Sora in the Kingdom Hearts games. Other non-Disney incarnations of him also try to eat people besides Hook.
The fans of the movie Hook theorize that the crocodile never died and that it was only in a state of hibernation, something that is easily denied, since Hook claimed that he was the one who killed the crocodile and then had it dissected to turn into a clock, then Mr. Smee confirms this by telling him that Hook killed him years ago.
However, another theory suggests that it was by Hook's own imagination who unconsciously revived him, since during the movie, it is revealed that Hook was always afraid of the crocodile's return, so much so that he developed a phobia of clocks and when he wakes up scared when listening Jack Banning's watch, the first thing Hook thinks and he quickly tells Mr. Smee about it was "It's that horrible crocodile back from the dead to kill me", which states that Hook never believed that the crocodile was truly dead and due because his fear of clocks was very high during the final duel against Peter Pan, because the lost boys cornered Hook by driving him a large number of clocks that still worked and possibly because of Never Land's magical nature of making the imagination come true. of the people, one might suppose that after getting stuck in the crocodile's clock and with his fear very high, Hook's own imagination momentarily revived the crocodile and when Hook dies and the crocodile is dead and stuffed again because Hook was no longer there so that his imagination would continue to give him life
Realistically, a crocodile swallowing an alarm clock or something of that nature would cause immense pain and even prevent them from eating more.
