- The Professor

The Professor is a genius mole scientist, originally from the Spyro the Dragon series, appearing in the Crash series in the crossover title Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage.

Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage
In Purple, the Professor helps fellow genius Coco find out Cortex and Ripto's whereabouts in so that Crash and Spyro can defeat them.

Later in the story, Nina kidnaps the Professor and Coco and destroys their research under Cortex's orders. Spyro and Crash go to the castle where they are being held, and Crash distracts Nina while Spyro frees Coco and Professor from their cages. After the fight, the Professor tells Spyro that he and Crash must return to collecting Crystals before the villains can take them.

Later still, Spyro puts a tracker on Cortex after fighting him, allowing the heroes to find their base. The Professor points out that the base is too far away for them to currently reach, meaning that Crash and Spyro must collect 20 clear Gems for the portal to be powerful enough to reach it.

The Professor's last appearance is in the final cutscene, congratulating Spyro and Crash for defeating Cortex and Ripto.
