alligator
blacksmith
I am a blacksmith.  The king brings his horses to me to fit their shoes.  I also do wonderous things with metal.
Back off, alligator! I do not mean you any harm. Huh! You harm me. I am not worried about that. But I wonder how you taste? Is he tough or tender? Salty or sweet? Stay back if you know what's good for you, damned animal! You think yourself scary to an alligator. Well that is not the case. Your idol threats have no effect on me. Good, it is the ones that doubt and underestimate me that get it the worst! Perhaps we can come to an agreement. Then I might not have to eat you. Could you bring me a fat pig or perhaps even a mangy dog? Hmm I might have seen a wild boar around here if that would suffice? Boar, pig no matter. As long as it tastes yummy! He did look like a good meal, so I could lure him here! Search for him like your life depends upon it because it just might. No need to keep threatening me, you're lucky I don't get my smithing hammer out. A silly hammer! You think the greatest of the reptiles is skeered of a simply smith's hammer?
