R792 - crocodile kicking
Based on the limited research I've done, it does not appear that crocodiles
of any size have legs that can effectively kick doors, chests, et al.  They
could kick objects, but kicking a monster would be more of a claw attack.
It's simpler to just print a message in all cases.
