Tikimon's Minions

Tikimon has several minions that follow him. In Tikimon's boss fight in Twinsanity, they help him to try to defeat Crash. After you destroy them, you can throw Cortex into Tikimon's mouth. All you have to do is to spin right into them. Their main attack is running at you. If they touch you, they can make you lose a life or lose Aku Aku. They also seem to have three parts to their body rather than two like Tikimon himself.
