The Stench is a titan hybrid of a vulture and a skunk that has long-ranged stink bomb attacks. First discovered on the shore of N. Sanity Island as wild titans, they soon became Dr. Cortex's most elite mutant soldiers. In Crash: Mind Over Mutant, they are stationed as guards in the Space Head.
Characteristics[]
A small, long-ranged titan, Stench is bipedal and covered in purple fur with a white head crest, bushy skunk tail, and clawed hands and feet. In Crash of the Titans, it also has a hooked orange beak and hunched posture. In Mind Over Mutant, Stench loses its head crest, and its beak is yellow and less hook-shaped. It now stands fully upright and is equipped with a space suit, headphones, and a ray gun affixed to one of its gloves. The Stench knocks out enemies from a distance with its powerful, offensive odor, though it may also engage in close combat in a pinch. Clouds of green gas follow Stench wherever it goes.
Abilities[]
Crash of the Titans[]
| Crash of the Titans | |
|---|---|
| Block | Stench crouches and blocks attacks with its arms.
In the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the game, blocking lets Stench enter Sniper Mode. While in Sniper Mode, the player is given control of a reticle with which to aim certain attacks at an enemy. In the Wii version, the player can control the reticle at any time, without the need to block, by aiming the Wii Remote. In the Wii version, the reticle can be aimed to pick up far away Mojo as well. |
| Light attack | Stink Bomb:
Stench produces a stink bomb and throws it at the nearest enemy, or wherever the reticle is pointed if it is present. Any attack can deflect these Stink Bombs, stunning Stench instantly if it is hit. Stink Bombs ricochet off of walls, and linger on the ground for a short time after being fired, exploding on contact with an enemy. |
| Heavy attack | Stench slashes an enemy in front of it with its claws. |
| Special attack | Stench Cloud:
Stench shoots four Stink Bombs at the nearest target, or one bomb each at up to four enemies selected using the reticle and the special attack button (A button in the Wii version). Having a target selected with the reticle negates Stench's block and leaves it vulnerable to attack until it fires. The bombs fired with Stench Cloud have all the same properties as the regular Stink Bomb attack. |

| Light attack | Stink Bomb:
Stench fires a Stink Bomb at the nearest enemy or breakable object, or wherever the reticle is pointed if it is present, using its blaster. It can fire six times before it needs to reload, which it does automatically. Any attack can deflect a Stink Bomb while it is in the air. They ricochet off of walls and linger on the ground for a short time after being fired, exploding on contact with an enemy. |
| Heavy attack | Stench rears back, then bashes the enemy with its head. |
| Special attack | Stench Cloud:
Stench turns around and fires a long-range beam of stink at an opponent that quickly racks up damage. This attack can only be used when the Titan Meter is full, and it depletes the meter over time until empty or if canceled. |
