Characteristics

Personality

In Wrath of Cortex, Crunch is first portrayed as being the over-confident type, constantly believing that he can eliminate Crash with ease.^[2] This behavior causes him to become defiant later in the game, insisting that he doesn't even need the Elementals (his power source) to defeat Crash, and becoming generally annoyed with Cortex.^[3] It is not until he is defeated that Crunch snaps out of Cortex's control and lives with the Bandicoots (though he is brainwashed again in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced). In Crash Nitro Kart, Crunch is shown to be an avid weightlifter, living under the philosophy of "eat less and exercise more".^[4] In Crash Tag Team Racing, Crunch seems to model himself after The A-Team star Mr. T, emulating his catchphrases and appearance (through an unlockable costume). His love for exercise is repeated here, though he is also interested in nutrition,^[5] and at one point plans to sell the Crash gang out through future endorsements. After his friends saved him from the mind-control, he developed a very friendly personality, and he likes helping out people in need.

Appearance

In contrast to Crash and Coco's meager size and build, Crunch is generally depicted as a large, muscular, burgundy-colored bandicoot with a metallic arm, camoflauge pants, and large boots. In Crash Twinsanity, Crunch is unusually smaller than normal, being shorter than even Tiny Tiger in the same scene. While Crunch's metallic arm usually takes the form of an arm, it can also be turned into a laser cannon-like device, as shown in the boss fight against him in N-Tranced. In the games prior to Crash of the Titans, Crunch's metallic arm only covered his right forearm and hand. In Titans, the cybernetics not only cover his entire arm, but take on a new appearance, bearing a noticeable resemblance to that of the television incarnation of Cyborg in Teen Titans. In addition, two scars can be seen above Crunch's chest. In Crash Tag Team Racing, Crunch is also depicted with a metallic ear, a feature which was not carried over to Titans.

Abilities

Crunch's most notable ability is his enormous strength, reflected in his large muscles. Although he is not as graceful as Crash or Coco, he balances this with his power, and is a very experienced fighter, being able to break through almost anything with his bare hands.

Crunch's original power sources were the Elementals, elemental masks awoken from hibernation by Uka Uka. Each Elemental gave Crunch a different elemental power for each of his struggles against Crash. Rok-Ko, the Earth Elemental, gave Crunch the ability to encase himself in numerous nearby pebbles, transforming himself into a sentient boulder. Wa-Wa, the Water Elemental, gave Crunch the ability to transform into a being of water twice his original size. In this form, Crunch can launch blue and green waves of energy from his hands and could shake the seas in an attempt to throw Crash off. Py-Ro, the Fire Elemental, turned Crunch into a figure of molten rock capable of throwing burning rocks, some of which would split in two upon impact with the ground. Finally, Lo-Lo, the Air Elemental, transformed Crunch into a gigantic genie-like entity capable of numerous lightning attacks. These elemental powers apparently disappeared when Crunch was freed from Cortex's control. This is a list of characters appearing in the video game series Crash Bandicoot. ...

History

Crunch was created by Doctor Cortex in private as a superweapon that would be capable of frightening power. Doctor N. Gin and Doctor Nefarious Tropy (who only had a slight understanding of the project) were the only other individuals who knew about the weapon. During a bad guy convention held by Uka Uka, Tropy and N. Gin reveal the weapon in desperation for one good plan to defeat Crash Bandicoot, who Uka Uka wants eliminated.^[6] Doctor Cortex formally announces the superweapon, but reveals that it is still missing a power source.^[7] Hearing the word "element", Uka Uka brings up the Elementals, a group of destructive masks that could create enough energy to bring the secret weapon to life. The weapon, who is Crunch Bandicoot, attempts to defeat Crash with the aid of the Elemental masks, but when Crunch is defeated in Cortex's space station, he snaps out of Doctor Cortex's control. Although his first instinct is to introduce his fist to Cortex's face, Aku Aku informs Crunch of the space station's imminent destruction, and the group decides to flee back to Earth.^[8] Back on Earth, Crunch shows his gratitude toward the Bandicoots, and becomes part of the Bandicoot family.^[9] Doctor N.

From this point on, Crunch has mostly served in minor roles. In Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Crunch is abducted by N. Trance and is brainwashed alongside Coco and Fake Crash. Crash battles Crunch on a flying carpet over the skies of Saudi Arabia, with Crash firing shots of energy at Crunch whenever the latter is stunned by exploding Nitro crates. Upon snapping out of N. Trance's control, Crunch becomes a playable character in some of the Atlasphere levels. In Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing, Crunch serves as a playable character, usually driving heavy vehicles high on speed. In Crash Twinsanity, Crunch has a cameo in Crash's "birthday party", which is a gathering of past Crash villains. While Crunch is in the gathering, he actually believes that it is Crash's birthday, donning a green paper crown and holding a slice of cake.
