Trivia

 * Their animation in Crash Bandicoot: Warped is an allusion to the legend of King Arthur where he pulls the magical sword Excalibur from the stone.
 * In the NTSC-U version of Crash Bandicoot: Warped, they take a longer time to swing the sword from the ground, whereas in the PAL version they swing it immediately after trying to pull it.
