One such incident which brought her to the safety of pony controlled lands was the encounter with the infamous Boar Croc or the Crocodile who thought it was a wolf. To her however, she had to slither through dense undergrowth and trees to slow its ravenous maw from catching her in one fatal bite. She would bound for three days with barely any rest while the reptile appeared unphased by the work out it received trying to earn its catch. She had even had two of them after her at one time, but fortunately the other found her to be not worth the effort. She could never figure out why the Croc wanted to eat the little hatchling as if she were the ultimate meal to have.
She'd manage to live through the relentless pursuit thanks to running into a trade caravan of ponies escorted by griffon guards. She had no time to even warn them as she burst through bushes, darted underneath the stallion pulled wooden carriages, and out to the other side of the roadway before the guttural hiss of the Croc faded away the more distance she put on. It was that and the screaming of the caravan occupants and warriors shouting through panic at the monster which would do only Celestia knew what to them. This is but one of the beasts she survived, memories which would shape her into the Adagio Dazzle who'd attempt to conquer Equestria and other kingdoms.
