Giant Alligator

The Giant Alligator, next to the Sasquatch

The Giant Alligator is a Monster kept in the Facility. It was not listed on the whiteboard, nor was it seen during the System Purge. However, it can be heard during the second wave.

Physical Description and Attributes[]

The Giant Alligator is depicted as a normal alligator, but of abnormal size. It has no supernatural features, meaning it is probably the result of a genetic mutation or experiment, resulting in its massive size. Since it appears there are no watery or moist environments inside the Facility, the Giant Alligator might be at a disadvantage when released during a Purge, since alligators are known to be deadlier in the water. However, its enormous size makes it deadly under any conditions.

It is unknown what item in the Cabin's cellar summons the Giant Alligator, but it's possible any items associated with alligators would work, such as an alligator tooth, hand or other alligator bone, or an item made from alligator skin.

Appearances[]

The Giant Alligator was only seen once during the film, in the scene where the camera pans out to reveal all of the Monsters inside the Facility. Its cube is stationed directly to the right of the Sasquatch.

Inspiration[]

  • The Giant Alligators appear as cameos of Penguin of Camp Cretaceous and other Katie Mitchell videos.
  • They may have been inspired by the 1980 film Alligator and its 1991 sequel Alligator II: The Mutation along with other giant alligator films including Lake Placid and it's sequels, though these latter were based on a crocodile. 

Trivia[]

  • Many fans speculate that a growl of the Giant Alligator can be heard in the second wave of the purge.
