Here is the single individual picture of Croak from the deviation group picture fav.me/d65tyg7. He is without his Street Pony black vest and is smiling AND he is not wearing his shades, one of my fav things about Croak is his gorgeous amber eyes.

Croak's back story is shrouded in mystery. He doesn't even know where exactly he was born, only that his parents had a small farm that they shared with him and a baby brother. When Croak was young, the farm was raided and destroyed by a bandit gang. His family was killed mercilessly, and he himself was found and rescued by a travelling group of Cavalry soldiers. He's been a wanderer ever since.

Croak found it difficult to make a way in the world on his own at such a young age. He was eventually taken in by a cattle rancher and farmer, where his past experience, however meager, could be put to use. The farmer provided his new apprentice with a formal education and even taught him his first real non-farming skill, to play the piano. Once he felt confident enough to take on the world again, Croak took his leave of his temporary home and set out to make his mark.

While travelling to the town of Sunstone, he happened upon the remains of a burned homestead. Upon closer inspection, he found that the only survivor was a baby colt not even old enough to speak. Without hesitation, and perhaps motivated by a sense of having something in common with the foal, Croak effectively took him to raise as a little brother. He soon began taking odd jobs to provide for them both, mainly as the piano colt in the town saloon. It was during such a gig that he met Velvet.

Croak is more or less silent, and initially would only speak in hushed whispers to his fellow Street Ponies. His reasons for never speaking otherwise are a closely guarded secret he will only share with those he trusts. Croak has little use for words, however; he is a stallion of action, preferring to show what he means or how he feels through an act of service or other physical task. One thing is for certain: Croak is dependable, hard-working, and honest
