Retconning Crocodile

The Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles were a group of humanoid crocodiles originating from the Prime Universe and residing in the Time Sewers. They were concerned with rewriting the narratives of different universes in their favour. Due to its "endless time-warmongering", they generally avoided the Third Universe.

History

Three Retconning Crocodiles rescued Auteur from the dying oxbow reality later dubbed the "Sanctum of the Heretic" and physically regressed him to an earlier form of himself. They promised to resurrect him in exchange for him to rewrite the history of their enemies, the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids. They swore by their own canonicity to uphold the bargain, and retroactively caused Auteur, in his past while trapped in the Shadow Spire, to write a cursed abecedarium that would destroy the Cupids. However, while they returned his skin, the Crocodiles left Auteur in the oxbow timeline anyway. (PROSE: Resurrection of the Author)

In December 2020, a mysterious Christmas gift was found in the Cupid Homeworld containing the handwritten abecedarium. The Copper-Colored Cupids were suspicious of the Retconning Crocodiles as they were the only group who would do such a thing, but they dismissed the danger because the handwriting did not match.
