The Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles was a malevolent organisation made up of intelligent, time- and dimension-travelling crocodiles.
Nature
The Retconning Crocodiles were believed to dwell in an interstitial dimension known as the Time Sewers, from which they could access whatever other universes they wanted, spontaneously creating manholes that connected the Sewers to the world of their destination. (COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory)
History
The sentient crocodiles making up the Collective were among the creatures genetically engineered by Professor Scarper of the First Horde using a mutagen initially developed to create creatures loyal to the Horde. Even after the Horde stopped funding Scarper's experiments, erasing all knowledge of themselves from him or them, this meant that Scarper's creations were compelled to form Strangely-Colored Secret Societies of their own. The crocodiles followed this pattern, arranging themselves into the Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles. (PROSE: The Strangely-Colored Secret Societies)
Doctor Sigma mentioned the Collective of the Retconning Crocodiles' Time Sewers as part of a lecture on the various existing methods of interdimensional travel. As an example, he showed images of a Retconning Crocodile using the Sewers to access a natural location where there should not have been any utility manholes, to the puzzlement of a Red-Bearded Gnome. (COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory)
The Geometron Pentagon once brokered an ill-fated alliance with the “horrible three-dimensional reptiles”, which, after its failure, eroded the population's trust in the Pentagon. (PROSE: Multiversal Mischief) They were also involved in the quest for the Frost King's treasure, as were the Wellsians.
The Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids had various files on the Crocodiles in their Archives, but they kept disappearing; although Herodotus-724 thought there was a chance they had simply been misplaced, it seemed sadly likely to Bibliophile-962 that the Crocodiles had retconned them out of existence to protect their secrets. (PROSE: The Time of the Toymaker, The Case Against Conspiracy, COMIC: The Beginner's Guide to Multiversal Theory)
