Stench

Stenches are a type of mutant that is a mix of a bird and a skunk. First discovered on N. Sanity Beach as wild titans under the control of Doctor Neo Cortex, they soon became his elite mutants.

Snipe seems to be a counterpart, or a rival, of Stench in Crash of the Titans. Both of them are titans that can use snipe mode and long-ranged attacks, and both of them are hybrids of mammals and birds. But, while Snipe is a mammal with bird feathers, Stench is described as a "bird thing" with mammal's fur covering him. Also, while Snipe's attack is fast, direct and low on damage rate, Stench's long ranged attack is slow and is thrown like a bomb, with higher damage rate. It is also notable that in the scenes introducing both titans, a small fox appeared and both titans attempted to harm it. Snipe tried to eat it, but was stopped in the act by Crash, but Stench succeeded in killing or at least knocking the fox out with his foul gas.

Appearances
When first seen on Wumpa Island in Crash of the Titans, Stenches were mostly huge bipedal skunks with the beak of a tropical bird. They were also known for tormenting innocent animals with their offensive body odor, killing a fox, or at least knocking it down, with flatulence during the Stench's introductory cutscene.

In Crash: Mind Over Mutant, Stenches were much more sophisticated in appearance, wearing a space suit and a gun used to shoot their stink bombs, rather than shooting them out of their rear, though they still unleash their special stink attack from their rear. Stenches were now much more vulture-like, with visible feathers on the entire body, in contrast to the wild Stenches which were covered with fur. Stenches also became Cortex' elite mutants, making them the last mutants to appear in the game. Their appearances from COTT (Crash of the Titans) look different from MOM (Mind Over Mutant).

Attacks

 * Regular Attack/ Stink Bomb: Stench produces bomb and throws it at the enemy, making it appear like he actually shot a projectile. Targets are usually picked at random, depending on the Stench's position and direction, so the nearest one is picked. Snipe mode can be used for greater accuracy. In Mind over Mutant, Stench has a stink gun with magazines that can store 6 of their own stink bombs at a time, after which they must reload.
 * Block-Breaking attack: Stench use different versions of the block-breaking attack depending on the game and state. When jacked in Titans, Stench slash its enemies in front of them, when Jacked in Mind over Mutant, Stench bashes its enemies with its head.
 * Snipe Mode: A special mode for all "small sized" Titans, Stench included. By holding down the R1 button, which is usually used to deliver the special attack, Stench holds still and his movement on the controller is replaced with the movement of a cursor on the screen. This cursor can be used to aim at Stench's targets more carefully, and shoot at them with Stink Bombs. By pressing the X button, however, multiple targets can be aimed and attacked simultaneously, so Stench will be able to shoot up to 4 projectiles at the same time, but this depletes the special attack gauge. A con to this mode is the fact that the Stench is creating bombs at the time and can easily be attacked and damaged, in which case Snipe mode ends. A good strategy would be to have the second player support the player that jacked the Stench so that he can shoot uninterrupted.
 * Special Attack/Stench Cloud: Stench's ultimate attack, this technique differs depending on the game. In Crash of the Titans, Stench simply shoots up to 4 bombs at random targets, or at 4 selected targets when in Snipe mode. This attack is far more powerful in Mind over Mutant, as Stench makes a stink cloud in front of him.
