Turtle

Turtles are enemy characters that appear in various forms in Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. The most basic form of turtle can easily be defeated with a spin attack. If Crash jumps on a turtle, the turtle will flip over and act as a trampoline. More dangerous versions of the turtle appear in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back: one version has spikes on its side, eliminating the possibilities of spin attacking or slide attacking the creature, while another version has a running buzzsaw on its shell, rendering jumping on the creature out of the question.

Larger versions of the creatures appear in CTR on the track Mystery Caves acting as ramps for karts to use to jump over water. They originally were going to appear in Crash bandicoot:Evolution as seen in twinsanity art concept, in the concept they were grayish and had red eyes.
