Polar



Polar

is a polar bear from the Crash Bandicoot series. He is one of Crash's friends, or at first believed to be, because he is seen in Twinsanity as his enemy but he is usually nice and crash loves to be around him.

Characteristics
Polar is on the good side in the Crash Universe, except in Crash Twinsanity when he is pictured in being one of Crash's enemies. In the rest of the game series, he is kind and loving. He is one of Crash Bandicoot's buddies. Polar first appeared in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. He is found in the Level 8 (Bear It), Level 13 (Bear Down),the last part of level 15 (Unbearable) and the hidden level 26 (Totally Bear). In these levels, Crash will ride him. He is also present in the second Warp Room, near the entrance to Level 8. If the player jumps on him several times, he/she will obtain many extra lives.

In Other Games
In Crash Team Racing, when Nitros Oxide attacked Earth, threatening to turn it into a parking lot, Polar stopped his dream of being a literature genius (which he was not accomplishing by reading his books upside-down), and decided to race against the villainous alien. Polar is a playable character in his cart. His home track is Polar Pass. His cart handled tight corners, much like Pura. Polar is also known to be the ice cream tester.

Later, in Crash Nitro Kart, Polar was brainwashed by N. Trance. He was on the alien team racing team.

In Crash Twinsanity, Polar seemed to be very angry at Crash for some unknown reason (possibly for jumping on his back so many times or may even still be brainwashed by N. Trance). He is pictured holding a baseball bat in which he seems to intent to hit Crash with.
