Loki writer Michael Waldron has had to explain the little alligator a ton since he came onto the scene in Episode 4. It should come as no surprise that the fan-favorite is still the talk of Twitter. Marvel.com decided to have the scribe break down where Alligator Loki came from.

“We were talking about [how] we want to meet many different versions of Loki in this show,” Waldron told the site. “I was just like, there should be an Alligator Loki. And it’s like, well, why? Because he’s green.” He added, “It’s so stupid, but it also makes total sense … You almost have to take it seriously, like maybe he is [a Loki]? Why shouldn’t there be an alligator version of Loki? For all we know, that’s an alligator universe or whatever. It’s just the sort of irreverent thing that, in this show, we play straight and make the audience take it seriously.”
Kate Herron also explained the team’s process to CBR, “You put [the stuffed alligator] in there, and the actors can interact with it and get a sense of how heavy or how large the alligator would be. [It was filmed] in the world of imagination with our cast because sometimes they were acting to a blade of grass.”
