Fire-Breathing Tiki

Fire-Breathing Tikis are hazards seen several times in the Crash games, but play a role in two of the racing games.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
The tikis appear as generic hazards in the ruins levels, where they will constantly breathe fire and stop for several seconds. They also can be found in twos swiveling around while breathing fire. They seem to take on the appearance of gorilla heads.

Crash Team Racing
The tikis appear only on the track Tiger Temple, where they appear inside ruins, and breath fire to toast racers and slow down their kart.

Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage
The tikis appear in Wumpa Jungle.

Crash Nitro Kart
Possibly referencing CTR, they appear in the track Tiny Temple, where they are also found inside a ruin room.
