Crash-fish

Bandifish are enemies appearing in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped and the N. Sane Trilogy remaster of the third game. They are only found in the prehistoric level Dino Might! jumping around in the water.

This fish has Crash's head, is orange colored and a tail colored like Crash's pants, and it can also spin like Crash does. If Crash or Coco gets hit by a Bandifish, the mutant fish will drag them under the water, and begin to feast on them, but if Crash or Coco touches a Bandifish while both are spinning, they will get flung away from it.

When encountering these enemies while performing the time trial, it's best to Double Jump and quickly execute the Death Tornado to avoid them, as waiting for the right timing to jump on them can waste a lot of time.

Trivia

 * They could possibly be an early evolution of Crash, due to them only appear in the prehistoric levels.
