Pura

Pura is a tiger cub who was first introduced in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. In the levels of Orient Express and Midnight Run, Coco Bandicoot can ride him like Crash rides Polar in Crash Bandicoot 2, meaning he is Coco's pet. He helped Coco during her fight against N. Gin, making her spaceship more powerful as well.

Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
Pura was first found in two various levels of Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. Coco rides him through levels of Orient Express and Midnight Run, back when the Great Wall of China was being built. He then helps in the battle against N.Gin on the moon, backing up Coco and making Coco's ship more powerful. He can also be seen in the ending inside Crash's house with Coco.

Crash Team Racing
In Crash Team Racing, Pura is seen resting with Coco, when Nitros Oxide came to Earth. Pura's grey-purple coloured kart has one of the best turning abilities, and is classed as beginner in the difficulty mode.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Pura made a small cameo in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. He is seen building a sandcastle while Aku-Aku was resting. He is also seen at the bandicoots' house in the end. His appearance has changed slightly, as he seems a bit smaller.

Crash Nitro Kart
Pura would later be a racer in Crash Nitro Kart. But, N. Trance kidnapped and brainwashed him along with Polar and Dingodile. Pura can be unlocked as a playable character. In order to unlock him, the player needs to perform 50 turbo boosts in adventure mode with Team Bandicoot. In the GBA version, he is replaced with Spyro.

Crash Tag Team Racing
There would have been a costume for Coco in Pura's likeness.

Crash Boom Bang
Pura made an appearance in Crash Boom Bang. In the game, he is now an anthropomorphic animal, and wears pants similar to Crash along with Polar.

Crash of the Titans
Originally, Pura and Baby T were going to get kidnapped in Crash of the Titans, instead of Coco Bandicoot. There is no concept art for them, however.

Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2
Pura made his latest appearance in Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2, where he is a playable character.

Trivia

 * Contrary to popular belief, Pura is male.
 * Pura was originally intended to be a panda bear in Crash 3, but he was too similar to Polar who is a polar bear, so Pura instead became a tiger.
 * In CTR, if the player selects an unlockable character in arcade mode, Pura gets taken out of the race (whilst all other characters race).
 * Pura has a voice box in Crash Bandicoot Nitro Kart 2.
 * Pura's name may come from the word "pura", meaning temple in Indonesian.
 * Pura originally had green eyes. However, in Crash Boom Bang, his eyes were changed from green to blue.
 * Pura has a purple kart in the European version of CTR and indigo in the American version.
 * Even though Pura is a tiger, he meows and makes noises like a cat just like Polar barks like a dog.
 * Although it's never been recorded in anyway the name "Pura" may be a play on "Puar" - a similar cat-like-creature from Dragon Ball Z.
