Snake

Snakes in the Crash Bandicoot universe come in two different varieties: the blue cobras from Crash Bandicoot and Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced and the brown cobras from Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

Crash Bandicoot
The blue cobras slither out of holes in underground temple levels, like Temple Ruins, and Jaws of Darkness. They behave like the Venus Fly Traps. When Crash is close enough, the snake will lunge out at Crash bearing fangs, which will kill Crash on impact. The cobras can be jumped on or spun away. Only one will emerge from a single hole in a level.

Crash Bandicoot: Warped
In Crash Bandicoot: Warped, cobras are found in the Egyptian levels, like Tomb Time, Sphynxinator, and Bug Lite. They will slither from one side of the path to the other, blocking Crash’s way. They are brown, similar to the actual real-world cobra. They can be defeated by belly flopping, spinning, shooting them with Crash's Fruit Bazooka after defeat Doctor N. Gin, or by being jumped on, or slide dash.

Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced
The cobras in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced seem to be a combination of both the original and Warped variety of cobra. They are blue cobras that emerge from baskets, similar to how the original blue cobra would emerge from the holes in the ground. The snake then will lunge and bite at Crash like the original variety. This snake, however, will only appear in the Egyptian levels, similar to the Warped variety of snake. These cobras can be defeated by either spinning, being jumped on, or body slamming or slide dash.
