Fire-Breathing Tiki

Fire-Breathing Tikis are hazards seen several times in the Crash games, but play a role in two of the racing games.

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
The tikis appear as generic hazards in the ruins levels, where they will constantly breathe fire and stop for several seconds. They also can be found in twos swiveling around while breathing fire. They seem to take on the appearance of gorilla heads.

Crash Team Racing
The tikis appear only on the track Tiger Temple, where they appear inside ruins, and breath fire to toast racers and slow down their kart.

Crash Nitro Kart
Possibly referencing Crash Team Racing, they appear in the track Tiny Temple, where they are also found inside a ruin room. The room they appear in contains a split in the track, with the tikis only breathing fire on one of the two otherwise equal routes at one time, but they do swap.

Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage
The tikis appear in Wumpa Jungle. One also appears on a trading card.
