Crocalor resembles a {{wp|crocodile}}, and the nest on top of its head resembles a bouquet of {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigold}}, or a {{wp|sombrero}} hat. Its overall appearance and affinity towards vocal performance make it vaguely similar to a {{wp|mariachi}} player, as seen with the vest design on its chest. It also loosely resembles {{wp|La Calavera Catrina}}, given the {{wp|calavera}} pattern on its face and the sombrero. Crocalor caring for an "egg" atop its head may be inspired by the observed maternal behavior in crocodiles. | Crocalor resembles a {{wp|crocodile}}, and the nest on top of its head resembles a bouquet of {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigold}}, or a {{wp|sombrero}} hat.
