List of Minor Characters

This page contains a list of second-string characters who don't have a significant enough role in the Crash series to warrant a page of their own.

Minor Characters
Characters that don't have a significant enough role in any Crash media to need their own page. This includes characters that have been mentioned or otherwise implied to exist but have not been seen in person.
