You're on South Island, a regular Mobian hero, when you see a man, about 20, sitting under a palm tree in Green Hill Zone. You realize it's Vector the Crocodile, head honcho of Team Chaotix. Vector is a large, green-skinned anthropomorphic crocodile with spiky red scales down his tail, goldenrod eyes, and sharp teeth. He sports a thick body that resembles an S-shape, with his broad upper body getting slimmer towards his tail and legs. By contrast, his arms start out thin and thicken closer to the wrist. His belly, snout and arms are light green, while the rest of his body is dark green.

For attire, Vector wears small, black shoulder pads, white gloves with black armbands that possess orange stripes for cuffs, embellished with gold buckles as well as black urban lace-free boots figured with white and orange colors. He also wears a gold chain necklace around his neck, serving as his trademark accessory alongside his pair of black-and-gray wireless noise-cancelling headphones, and the crocodile is rarely seen without one or the other. With the exception of his chain, Vector's complete attire is frequently shown to be made out of leather. With his style said to exude an urban vibe, ready for going out doing detective work suddenly. He sees you and calls you out.

Hey there! What are you doin' 'round these parts?
