Pura

Pura is a Tiger in the Crash Bandicoot series. In Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, she is introduced. In Chinese levels, Coco Bandicoot can ride her like Crash rides Polar in Crash Bandicoot 2. She helps Coco in her fight against N.Gin making her craft more powerful. She is a cuddly, cute and tiny tiger cub. He is best friends with Coco and her animal guardian. She also enjoys basking in the warm China heat.

Warped
Pura is first found in two levels of warped. Coco rides him through levels back when the great wall of china was being built. She then helps in the battle against N.gin on the moon, backing up Coco and making Coco's ship more powerful. She can also be seen in the ending inside Crash's house with Coco.

On Your Marks...
In Crash Team Racing, Pura is seen resting with Coco, when Nitros Oxide came to Earth. Pura's violet kart has one of the best turning abilities.

Catnapped!
Pura would later be a racer, in Crash Nitro Kart. But, N. Trance kidnapped and brainwashed her along with Polar and Dingodile. Pura can be unlocked as a playable character.

It's No Cat Nap!
Pura's latest appearance was in Crash Boom Bang. Here, she wore clothes similar to Crash and can walk on two legs.

Trivia

 * Pura was originally intended to be a panda bear in Crash 3, but she was too similar to Polar who is a polar bear, so Pura instead became a tiger.
 * Pura made a small cameo in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. She is seen building a sandcastle while Aku-Aku was resting.
 * In CTR, if the player selects an unlockable character in arcade mode, Pura gets taken out of the race (whilst all other characters race).
 * Pura appears in Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2 with a voice.
 * Some fans have thought that it could also derive from "Puranpur", a town/municipal board in the Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous state. Or Pura may also come from the word "pura", meaning temple in Indonesian.Puracbnk2.png
