Krotz (Japanese: クロツ Romaji: kurotsu) is a character from the Slayers novel The Silver Beast. Krotz is the leader of the Cult of Shabranigdu. He is responsible for turning Duclis into chimera, and presumably responsible for the transformations of his other servants as well. Krotz's ultimate goal is the destruction of Saillune, and for this purpose he uses a stolen Claire Bible manuscript to create two sets of Zanaffar Armor. One of breastplates is worn by Grouj, who is kept asleep as he becomes increasingly unstable.
