If the Flamingo is the soul of Vice City, the American Alligator is its teeth. These prehistoric reptiles are the most dangerous wildlife in the game, roaming not just the swamps of the Grassrivers, but infiltrating the urban jungle as well.
Rockstar has significantly upgraded the AI from Red Dead Redemption 2. Alligators in GTA 6 are bolder, interacting with civilization in terrifying/hilarious ways—invading swimming pools, blocking traffic, and even entering convenience stores.
