Crondis is a goddess with the head of a crocodile, and is one of the members of the desert pantheon, a collection of gods and goddesses that are worshipped mainly in the Kharidian Desert. Her following is particularly strong in Menaphos and Sophanem, the twin desert cities of the Menaphites. Because she is rarely spoken of by NPCs, little is known of her.

A manifestation of her is encountered during Icthlarin's Little Helper. Should you pick up the crocodile-headed canopic jar, you can fight her. She is level 75 and oddly has a male character model. Fighting her is not necessary to finish the quest.

Crondis is often considered to be the goddess of resourcefulness and modesty; that is, she is an example of how people should take no more than they need for their own sustenance. This has led her to be frowned upon by the higher echelons of Menaphite society, especially the Pharaoh of Menaphos, who according to Jex is greedy beyond Crondis' help.

Trivia

• Crondis is probably based on the Egyptian god Sobek.
• Although Crondis is female, her statue in the Uzer Mastaba looks very masculine, and does not have anything as chest covering, unlike most other things without chest covering Bandos chestplate and Verac's brassard. This may not be necessary, however, as crocodiles are not mammals and so the females do not have breasts anyway. However, because it is stated that she has the body of a woman, it is implied that the choice to make her statue masculine was an oversight or was necessary to give the statue its rough, stocky appearance.
