So I didn't really like the idea of Gaedren having a pet crocodile under the Fishery. The climate and location didn't really make any sense to me. Why wouldn't the sharks eat it or it just wonder off.
I decided to change out the Croc. for a much more interesting creature, a Reefclaw. I wanted to find a way to use them since they seemed like an interesting little creature. They have a low Int 5, but enough to possibly make a deal with someone who might keep it fed regularly in exchange to help protect Gaedren. I am sure it loves the taste of young human children, just like Veal :) I am sure.
Did anyone else decide to change out the crocodile for another creature?
Of course I have 5 people in the party so I had to add another HD to thr Reefclaw to make it a little more interesting...

I used Gobblegut. He's one of the few things the characters have killed outright rather than captured so far, and we're nearing the conclusion of "Edge of Anarchy"!
The idea to use a reefclaw is cool, though. I'd make it a Medium or Large one... maybe even crib the name and description (though on a smaller scale) of Meatclaw from the monster write-up.
Be warned, though: in our Pathfinder RPG playtest game of CotCT, there was almost no way that Gobblegut could make the jump to get after people on the narrow walkways, since the Jump skill (Str) was folded into Acrobatics (Dex). You might want to rework skills of the reefclaw or adapt the understructure.
Another possibility is a "pet" Otyugh used as a "human garbage" disposal.
