Farmer Ernest

Farmer Ernest is a emu farmer who grows wumpa trees, raises his own chickens, and participates in farmer's markets. He lives in a small farmhouse behind the skull rock on N. Sanity Island. He appears to know and trust Crash Bandicoot.

Ernest's as-of-yet only appearance in the series consists of him begging Crash to rid his orchard of a swarm of worms which you have to use Cortex to smash so his Wumpa trees would grow.

The farmer promises Crash a power crystal if he accomplishes the deed. However, he is immediately paralyzed by Doctor Neo Cortex, who takes the power crystal anyway.

Portrayals
Farmer Ernest is voiced by Alex Fernandez (who also voiced Uka Uka) in the English version of Crash Twinsanity and by Haruo Satō in the Japanese version.

Trivia

 * There is concept art of Farmer Ernest holding a pig in the enemy gallery. Though he is not an enemy in the game, he is one of the many characters that, for some reason, hurt Crash when the player uses a glitch to touch them.
 * Farmer Ernest's appearance in the game is a reference to video games like Spyro the Dragon and Jak & Daxter where non-playable characters ask the hero to do a favor for them in exchange for a reward.
