Crunch Bandicoot

Crunch's Beginning
Crunch was originally designed by Dr. Neo Cortex as a superweapon to kill Crash Bandicoot in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex. He was kept a secret until Dr. N. Gin and Dr. N. Tropy revealed Cortex's plan at a bad guy convention. Cortex said that Crunch was a very powerful being, but he needed a power source in order to be finished. Uka Uka remembered powerful spirits called the Elementals. Uka Uka awakens them from their eternal slumber and uses them to wake up Crunch. Coco sets up a Warp Room that will help Crash gather the Crystals needed to put the Elementals back to sleep. After gethering the crystals and defeating the Elementals, Crash prepares for a final showdown with Crunch. Crash manages to defeat Crunch, even with the power of the Elementals still with him. Furious at Cortex, Uka Uka fires a beam at him, which hits a part of his space station. This sets Crunch free of Cortex's mind control, but also destroys Cortex's space station. The bandicoots escape on Coco's ship and return to Earth. Crunch thanks Crash and Coco for setting him free, and promises to do good in the future.

Later on
Crunch's next appearance in the main series is in Crash Twinsanity. He does not have a major role here. Rather, he is an attendee at Crash's "Birthday party" (though he thinks it is an actual party). His next appearance was in Crash of the Titans. Again, he does not do much to the plot. He is frozen by Cortex in the beginning of the game, and not freed until the end of the game. He later appeared in Crash: Mind Over Mutant as one of the people braiwashed by Cortex and Dr. N. Brio.
