History Characters / CrashBandicootVillainsEvolvedAnimals

** PlayingWithFire: The iconic flamethrower primarily used in "Warped" and "Twinsanity"
** DishingOutDirt: A torpedo launcher which is used to cause falling stalactites in "The Huge Adventure"
** MakingASplash: A high pressured water cannon in the DS version of "Crash of the Titans"
** BlowYouAway: The vacuum gun of "Crash 4" and "Crash Team Rumble" which uses air pressure to suck in and fire items as well as provide a hover jump.

* TheCameo: He's among the villains who appear at Crash's "birthday party" in ''Twinsanity''. Later, after Cortex gets beaten, he takes up an offer from Dingodile to go out for lunch.

* SharkTunnel: His track in ''CTR'', Roo Tubes, is set in one to show his association with water.

* AnimalGenderBender: Averted since it was revealed in ''Nitro Kart 3D '' while only wearing boxing gloves that he lacks a pouch. A rare example of developers following real-life kangaroo sexual dimorphism!

* MeaningfulName: His sharp claws could easily rip things apart, and as for "Roo", well...he's a kangaroo. 'Ripper' and 'Roo' are also Australian slang words for 'great' and 'kangaroo', respectively. So to some Aussies, his name could mean "great kangaroo". When you view some of his accomplishments, it makes a lot of sense actually!

* SharkTunnel: For some reason his track in ''CTR'' is set in one (Roo's Tubes).

* WarmUpBoss: In ''Cortex Strikes Back'': because he creates his bombs following a precise pattern on one large platform, his battle becomes fairly easier.

* MightyGlacier: In ''Crash Team Racing'', he is one of the speed based characters, as it was the equivalent to ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' heavyweight class.

* MightyGlacier: In ''Crash Team Racing'', he is one of the speed based characters.

-->[[spoiler:'''Cortex:''' Tiny! ''You '''BUFFOON!''''']]

* NotSoAboveItAll: All bios and manuals and even their general dispositions point to Joe being the brains of the operation and Moe being the DumbMuscle. However it is ''Joe'' that botches their first boss fight (much to Moe's exasperation in ''N Sane''), and their animations in ''Nitro Fueled'' generally portray Joe as the more childish and emotional of the two, suggesting that even if Joe is more intellectual than Moe, he isn't quite playing with a full deck either.

** ''Crash Nitro Kart'' portrays Tiny as much more docile off of work hours, being somewhat childlike and submissive around the other villains. His UndyingLoyalty to Cortex is also given much more focus.

* LandSeaSky: He fits the "Sky" part in ''Cortex Strikes Back'', being fought in a space base and requiring to avoid to fall in a bottomless pit.

* LandSeaSky: Downplayed in ''Warped'', where he's fought in a place similar to sea ice.

* WarmUpBoss: She's the first boss faced in ''On the Run'' as a part of the game's tutorial. However, other versions of her appear as later bosses, including her normal variant twice more.

%%* AccentSlipUp: In "Thar He Blows!" in ''IAT'', he slipped into a Cajun accent for this brief line.
%%--> '''Dingodile:''' Got a feeling I'm not in the bayou no more...

* HeelFaceTurn: Implied in ''Nitro-Fueled.'' Instead of becoming an animal breeder like the original CTR, Dingodile's WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue in the remake now says he retired his flamethrower and became a firefighter, ironically, being one of the most successful in the business. It's outright stated this is the case in ''It's About Time'', where he retired from villainy and decided to open up a successful diner. Unfortunately, a rival eatery blows up his diner, and Dingodile is pulled through a portal opened up by Cortex's meddling with alternate dimensions.

* LethalChef: As implicated in the advert for his own diner and [[spoiler:the secret ending of ''It's About Time'']]. Probably owing to the fact that he uses assorted roadkill and insects[[note]]Some of his mentioned dishes include Roadkill Pie, Slug & Centipede Gumbo, and Braised Bat Tacos with Guanamole.[[/note]] as ingredients for his swamp cuisine, which isn't helped by ''very'' questionable sanitation and cleanliness. The end credits disclaimer takes it even further by mentioning several symptoms his diner's food causes, including [[spoiler:transdimensional discharge, intestinal rifts, Wumpa Whooping Cough, parasitic slime boils, random teleportation into darker timelines, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking uncontrollable mewing like a little kitty cat during important business meetings]]]].

* PunchClockVillain: While he is still a sadistic pyromaniac who is mostly loyal to Cortex and Uka Uka, near the beginning of ''Twinsanity'', after Crash and Cortex fall down a pit, rather than finishing off Crash or helping save Cortex, he instead opts to [[VillainousFriendship take a lunch break with Ripper Roo.]]

%%* TheRival: To Rilla Roo in ''Crash Bash'', who is also his MovesetClone.

-->''Side effects of dining at Dingo's Diner may include fatigue, increased body odor, risk-seeking behavior, thinking too much about your uncle, increased hunger, decreased hunger, alienation from friends and family, skin irritation, ennui, leaky orifices, oozing orifices, glowing orifices, additional orifices, gas, wumpa cheeks, remembering that girl from high school -- what's she up to? Do you think she's happy? -- and profuse vomiting.

* SuperDrowningSkills: In ''It's about Time'', Dingodile cannot swim. If he falls into water of any kind, he immediately dies; which is baffling due to how he's supposed to be half-crocodile. Then again, it may be due to GameplayAndStorySegregation -- since he's able to move around underwater just fine in ''The Huge Adventure'' -- or perhaps [[FatBastard all that extra weight]] he's put on.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Although purely a kangaroo (albeit a psychotic mutant kangaroo), in ''Crash Team Rumble '' , his emotes “Itchy” and “Easily Entertained” have him scratch himself with his hind leg and chase his tail while panting very much like a dog. Ironically enough, many fans of the franchise had mistaken him to be a dog, mainly because of his falling ears, ManiacTongue, and sharp teeth.

* AntiVillain: He works with Dr. N. Brio in ''Cortex Strikes Back'' to stop Crash from collecting the Crystals, taking a break from his studies to fight the bandicoot.

* InformedSpecies: Because of their caricatured designs and the fact that they're mostly based on obscure species, the evolved animals rarely resemble what they’re supposed to be, which might be [[JustifiedTrope justified]] because of their mutations.

* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Although purely a kangaroo (albeit a psychotic mutant kangaroo), in ''Crash Team Rumble '' , his emotes “Itchy” and “Easily Entertained” have him scratch himself with his hind leg and chase his tail while panting very much like a dog. Ironically enough, many fans of the franchise had mistaken him to be a dog.

* CombatSadomasochist: It's heavily implied that his habit of getting caught in his own explosions is a case of this.

%%* CulturedBadass: Doctor Roo.

%%* TheRival: To Tiny in ''Crash Bash''. Also his MovesetClone.%%Explain.

* AntiVillain: In ''Videogame/CrashTeamRacing,'' Komodo Joe confronts the player as the third boss. His motivations are based on the doubt that you have what it takes to defeat Oxide. They also attempted to stop Crash from delivering the crystals to Cortex in the second game.

* {{Sssssnaketalk}}: Komodo Joe. When Moe got voice acting in ''Nitro Fueled'', he also talked like this.

** In ''Cortex Strikes Back'', Tiny can be considered as one for Crash, being another orange marsupial with sneakers who's good at platforming, but who's even dumber.

* FluffyTheTerrible: "Tiny" is a word [[IronicName you wouldn't think of first]] when thinking of a hulking mutant tasmanian tiger. His track in ''CTR'', Tiny Arena, [[MarathonLevel is also far from tiny.]]

* CrutchCharacter: In ''Nitro-Fueled'', he is classed as a turn based character. His fixed counterpart, however, is a [[MightyGlacier speed based driver]].

* EvilCounterpart: Following Crunch's HeelFaceTurn at the end of ''The Wrath of Cortex'', Tiny has since served as this to the former, to the extent that he outright sees him as a softy copycat according to the ''Nitro Kart'' manual.

-->'''N. Gin:''' What did you break '''''now?'''''\\

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: [[spoiler:In Team Cortex's ending in ''Nitro Kart'', after the bad guys get stranded on Terra, Tiny quickly fixes Velo's scepter, only to get himself mistaken for a god by its inhabitants]].

-->'''Pinstripe:''' Here's a Key for ya troubles! ''(laughs, then rolls his eyes)'' Aw, brother.

-->'''Pinstripe:''' I'm the speed champion here, and I'm gonna save the world! ...For a sizable fee, of course!
