Triceratops



The Triceratops (a.k.a. Trike) is a dinosaur in Warped. Much like the Giant Bear in Cortex Strikes Back, it was a replacement for the traditional Boulders seen in Crash 1 and 2. It is mostly seen in Prehistoric levels, such as Bone Yard. When Crash Bandicoot wanders too far, the Triceratops erupts from its cave [barred up by bones] and chases after you. Obstacles include lava pits, logs and pterosaurs that sometimes rest on these logs. Don't worry about the pterosaurs, though; they fly away as soon as they see the behemoth. It is unknown why the Triceratops chases you, but it's possibly because it believes you trespassed in its territory.

Trivia

 * Not many people know this, but the Pterosaurs can actually be spin-attacked away, instead of just being avoided.


 * A prehistoric Lab Assistant, as seen in a drawing at the official Naughty Dog website, was originally supposed to be riding the Triceratops, but the idea was later scrapped due to technical reasons. On a side note, the Trike also had an additional nasal horn in the same drawing, which is not seen on the real animal.
