The Ancients

"No, Uka Uka. The Ancients would not allow it."

- Aku Aku

The Ancients, also known as the Ancient Ancestors, are a mysterious group of entities that possess immense powers.

Crash Bash
The Ancients were first mentioned in Crash Bash by Aku Aku. When Uka Uka attempts to fight with him in the game's intro, he states that "The Ancients would not allow it". Despite this statement, Aku Aku and Uka Uka had already fought before in Warped.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
The ancients were next mentioned in Wrath of Cortex within the instruction manual, referred to as the "Ancient Ancestors". The manual states that the Ancients had fought the Elementals, and were powerful enough to imprison them forever unless awoken.

Characteristics
Very little is known about the Ancients given that they have never physically appeared anywhere.

Through their orders for them to not fight in Bash, the Ancients are shown to have some form of authority over the Aku-Uka brothers, implying that they may hold some power over the magical forces of the universe. With the way they are portrayed, they may even be deities or some form of divinity.

They seem to be firmly neutral, being aligned as neither good nor evil, holding authority over both Aku Aku and Uka Uka.
