Rumple is the "crocodile" and he has dealings with Peter Pan.

Once is a TV show that originated upon twisting the stories we know and love. It's original to Once and that's how it is suppose to be. Otherwise, you'd be asking why isn't the Evil Queen complaining about how beautiful she is and why is Snow White a bandit and not singing in the woods with a high pitched voice.
