Lumberjack Lab Assistant

Sledgehammer Lab Assistants are a variant of lab assistants in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. They are dressed up as lumberjacks and wield a large sledgehammer to knock Crash into the ground while blocking his path.

They can be defeated with any attack. They only appear in the levels Diggin' It and in Bee-Having. When attacked, Crash's death animation will appear for him to be buried in the ground with a tombstone on top. They can also kill Crash when he is underground.
