considering the fact that this animal is also featured in Egyptian culture a lot
where are its legs?

Cleopatra threatened to throw Edifis to the holy crocodiles if he failed to build her a palace within 3 months. So, Egypt.
Though I only remember seeing crocodiles in 12 Tasks and I don't know where exactly that was.
in 12 Tasks of Asterix, crocodiles were in the part of the movie where Asterix and Obelix had to cross a cliff by balancing over an invisible rope
I mean, I don't know what country that was in
they probably planned some sections where you would or probably fight the creatures or you need to grab something quick and then go out of the water
thats so far the most logical explanation
considering the fact that Egypt actually has lot of watery places
The texture quality seems too poor for it to be an enemy
I lean towards decor, or less probably, you'd have to jump over them to cross water (as in the end of the first movie with real actors), that's why they don't have visible legs.
its just a crocodile which sits in the grass.
