Carnivorous predators, they favor smaller prey when out hunting at dusk and twilight. Other predators like the [[shantak]] are their only competition once fully grown, though the quadracrocs tend to avoid confrontations due to their own smaller, lankier forms leave them at a distinct disadvantage. However, quadracrocs are highly adept at surviving in the desert, having large stores of fat around their tail, as well as their ability to retain water quite well. Few other species can compete with them in regards to surviving over longer periods of time with little resources, thus allowing them to thrive in the interior of Fermi.
Because of this success, they have replaced their ancestors throughout the interior of Fermi Island, primarily due to their better adaptations to desert life, though the sand sandcrock still exists on its beaches, where the heat is far more tolerable due to the cooling nature of the ocean breeze.
