Vector the Crocodile

Vector the Crocodile (ベクター・ザ・クロコダイル, Bekutā Za Kurokodairu ?) is the "head honcho" and brains of the Chaotix Detective Agency.[24] Divided between being "bossy" and "easy-going," his rough speech and outward appearance mask his clear reasoning and ability to resolve cases.[34] For the right price he will take on most jobs, unless they involve doing something immoral.[24] Vector has a strong sense of justice and kindness, despite his argumentativeness.[34] He often does unpaid work due to his charitable nature,[24] leaving the agency constantly short on money.[34] Vector hates having to work for the landlord, but he enjoys singing,[34] and his trademark is a set of headphones.[24] He is physically very strong[34] and his powerful jaws are a formidable weapon.[24]

Vector was originally supposed to be in the sound test of the first Sonic the Hedgehog game, but he, along with the feature itself, was removed prior to release.[35] He was also part of Team Chaotix in Sonic Heroes and is featured in Shadow the Hedgehog. In all three installments of Mario And Sonic At The Olympic Games, he is a playable athlete.
