Jungle Spirit

Jungle Spirits are the mysterious inhabitants of N. Sanity Island in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time.

Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
The Jungle Spirits in It's About Time play a rather similar role to the Tribesman of games prior. They live together in a village by a lake on N. Sanity Island, and they are hostile towards outsiders. There are two notably distinct variants;

Jungle Spirit Lobber
Jungle Spirit Lobbers appear in Rude Awakening. They attack by throwing small purple fruit at Crash/Coco. They can be easily defeated by either spinning them, sliding them or jumping on their heads.

Hammer Jungle Spirits
Hammer-wielding Jungle Spirits appear later on, in the level N. Sanity Peak. They attack using their hammers, but have a small delay in winding up an attack, giving a chance for the player to strike first.

Trivia

 * Concept art shows a Lobber throwing a spear with a fruit at the end, rather than just the fruit like in the final game. The same concept art also shows the Lobber use the yellow and blue colour scheme that hammer-wielders do, rather than the default green.
