==History==
As a baby, the '''Alligator''' was kept as a pet by a [[Raccoon City]] resident before ending up in the sewers. When the [[t-Virus]] was released into the sewers, the creature became infected and adapted well to its effects, growing rapidly to over ten meters in length.

An alligator lived in the sewers underneath Raccoon City. This very large mutant grew from a baby which, like the urban legends, was flushed down the toilets, fulfilling the "sewer gator" myth. This alligator became a threat to a band of survivors moving through the sewers in search of a way to the [[NEST]]. It was killed when it bit into a fuel canister, and a well-targeted shot caused it to explode inside its mouth.
==Appearances==
 
It made its first appearance in [[Resident Evil 2]] when Leon first encountered Ada at the Raccoon City sewers where the gator had cornered [[Ada]], but it turns its attention to Leon, luckily he was able to defeat the giant reptile by tricking it into biting down a gas canister that is promptly shot; the resulting explosion blowing its head apart. Other examples of infected alligators would be seen in ''[[Resident Evil Survivor]]''. It can also be found in ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak File 2]] ''in the Zoo, the creature is named Gnaw.

The Alligator reappears as a boss in [[Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles]]. In this scenario it is fought by both [[Leon S. Kennedy]] and [[Claire Redfield]]. This version of the fight shows Leon and Claire at first attempting to kill it by igniting a leaking pipe valve. However this only badly burns it, forcing the duo to trick it into biting down on a gas canister that is promptly shot; the resulting explosion blowing its head apart similar to its fate in RE 2.

Yet two other alligators lived in the sewers of [[Sheena Island]]. Considering that the island was near Europe, these animals were probably transported as pets like the one in Raccoon's sewers.
==Strategy==
 
The Alligator can be killed by simply shooting it, causing it to eventually smash a hole in the wall and escape. Killing it in this way will cause a small amount of ammo to appear a little later on. The other more economical method involves releasing an emergency gas canister which the Alligator promptly picks up in its mouth. When the canister is shot, it explodes, taking much of the Alligator's head with it. Killing it this way means it can be killed with 1 hand gun round.

==Sources==
In ''Outbreak'' ''File #2,'' the only strategy is to just swim over the area where it lives. If you really need to shoot it, stay on the dry land but close to the water. Gnaw eventually will swim to the edge and try to attack you on land. When it will try, just shoot it. It will take a few bullets from the shotgun to take it down.

This giant reptile may have been based-off the "alligators in the sewers" urban legend.
 
 
The second possible death may also be a reference to the movie ''Jaws'', in which the protagonist kills the shark when it eats an explosive canister and he shoots it, blowing it up and killing the shark.

Alligators (アリゲーター arigētā?) have been known to be infected with the t-Virus, and a number of individual cases exist.

History

A number of alligators were infected during the Raccoon City Destruction Incident.

An alligator lived in the sewers underneath Raccoon City. This very large mutant grew from a baby which, like the urban legends, was flushed down the toilets, fulfilling the "sewer gator" myth. This alligator became a threat to a band of survivors moving through the sewers in search of a way to the NEST. It was killed when it bit into a fuel canister, and a well-targeted shot caused it to explode inside its mouth.

Another alligator residing in the Lakeside Area of the Raccoon Zoo was one of the main attractions until the virus outbreak occurred. The survivors who crossed the small lake had to deal with the monster while swimming across.

Yet two other alligators lived in the sewers of Sheena Island. Considering that the island was near Europe, these animals were probably transported as pets like the one in Raccoon's sewers.
