Sandile, or Crocodile pattern I could modify?

Sandile, or Crocodile pattern I could modify?

Hi all, I've been stuck looking for a pattern for the pokemon Sandile. It seems as though only one pattern for it exists (or at least, only one is coming up in my search results) and to be frank, I'm not a huge fan of how it looks from the one single image the designer has posted of their finished work. The main thing is that at least to me, from what I can make out from the limited view in the photo, the head shape doesn't seem quite right for how flat and wide it should be, especially with how the "cheeks" protrude. (It also does turning chains at the end of each round, which is not something I've seen before in amigurumi, but that's beside the point.)

Ideally I'd love to find a Sandile pattern that looks a little more accurate to the pokemon itself, or failing that, a crocodile pattern in general (preferably worked in the round or with joined rounds, I'd rather avoid turning my work every round) that still has the sort of raised eye shape. If anyone can recommend one, I'd really appreciate it!

I'll link the only pattern I could find of the pokemon itself for reference.

Widow chooses Goon, what happens next?

The Widow sees the grimoire, and has the opportunity to be the first one that night to choose the Goon. The goon has the Widow's "poisoned" token added to it, while the Widow has the Goon's "drunk" token added to it. The Goon is woken up to be told they've turned evil, since an Evil player chose them first that night, because the Widow's poison did not take effect and negate the Goon's alignment-change ability because the Goon made the Widow drunk first before that could happen. Then, nobody is told there is a Widow in play, because the Widow became drunk before that part of its ability could activate.

Is that correct?

Going forward, from night 2 onwards, the Goon is evil. But the Widow has become sober because the Goon's drunk-making ability has worn off, so the Widow's poison is now back in effect, meaning the Goon has no ability and can no longer change alignment or cause drunkenness.

At this point, does someone learn on night 2 that there is a Widow in play because the Widow is sober again? Or has that part of its ability been skipped because it was drunk at the point when that was supposed to happen? The Widow's ability doesn't say "On night 1, someone learns there is a Widow in play." It just says "1 good player knows there is a Widow in play," implying this is a continuous thing, and the player should be told once the Widow sobers up and their ability is active again.

They've been posting on a bunch of their socials (mainly linkedin apparently) about their excitement to start using generative ai to replace the need to hire photographers for images of their products, pattern works, etc, and incorporating ai into their business in other ways going forward. They were the main yarn supplier I used, I was a super regular customer, their honey bunny chenille is my number 1 favourite yarn to work with so far. I am quitting Hobbii completely after hearing this because I can't, in good conscience, continue to support a company that would do this. Their entire customer base is an artistic community, one that gen ai has been causing problems for since it first started to become prevalent, and they turn around and do this?

I might consider going back to them if they 100% drop the ai slop and reverse their stance on it completely, but even at that if they announced they're listening to feedback and taking that action it'll take some convincing to make me believe they're committing to it. It might not be easy to find an alternative that ships to Ireland for a reasonable rate, but Hobbii has completely lost my business.
