Maybe, or just maybe their entire battle fleet will be swallowed by a small dog....
Which poses the question. What form will these beings take?
When you think, that without that big rock, hitting the Earth and starting events, that wiped out the Dinosaurs. How would they have evolved, if allowed to continue to exist? Would Mammals have risen, to become us?
That said: Crocodiles, have not done much, over the past 65 or so, million years.
I'd say that if they are out there, they are avoiding us like the plague. Our history starting with the dawn of man kind is and always has been pretty much unchanged. If we can't eat it, mate with it or control it, we kill it.
Your assuming their early history was any different. Silly me, forgot the human race are evil slobs narrative spawned from people living more comfortably than in any time in our history....
Pretty sure humans have been evil slobs since forever. Remember that story about one brother killing the other? If someone has an oak leaf someone else wants it.
Nothing is immune to selective pressures, but some creatures have experienced less of these than others.
Until people came along, crocodiles were doing pretty well in that crocodile niche.
