King Chicken

King Chicken is a chicken who wears a crown.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled
King Chicken's first (and as of now, only) appearance in the series was in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. He was introduced as a playable character in the Neon Circus Grand Prix. He can be unlocked in Adventure Mode after collecting five golden eggs hidden in each area and bringing them to a mysterious door near the Tiger Temple warp pad in The Lost Ruins.

Personality
King Chicken seems little more than an average, non-mutated chicken. He doesn't show many signs of sapience, flapping his wings and looking around, seemingly bewildered while driving. Both his victory and loss podium animations are identical, showing him pecking at a pile of seed on the podium, indifferent to whether he was victorious or not or the fact that he's wearing a helmet that stops him from pecking the ground (though it might be a case that he can't see glass like avians do).

However, his vocal responses to certain events indicate that he's somewhat aware of his surroundings, as his clucking can sound happy when winning or sad when losing. Similar to Penta Penguin, he's shown to have a sinister side, as when he uses an item, he clucks in a rather mischevous or sinister tone.

His status as a king or ruler of any kind is dubious at best. His origins are shown during the CTR TV intro for the Neon Circus, where Stew is seen putting a crown on a regular chicken in the recording studio, implying he's little more than an average rooster.

Physical Appearance
King Chicken is a white chicken with a crown on his head to distinguish himself from other chickens. The crown itself is bronze in color and has three red diamond-shaped rubies in the middle. He has large, brown, bulging eyes which look off in different directions, a blunt orange beak, and black claws on his feet.

Trivia

 * King Chicken is only one of two characters to have Drift as its default Driving Style in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the other being Hasty.
 * He shares Penta Penguin's gameplay trait of using either Aku Aku or Uka Uka at random.
