Crunch Bandicoot

Crunch has always had a varied life, ever since his evolution back in the early days... though his life consists of many ups and many downs....

Crunch started his life out after being evolved by both Dr Cortex and Dr N.Brio, he was evolved as a young bandicoot, and his age is unknown (like most of the creations) and his original purpose for being created well, he was originally created to be over obsessed with exercising, so he'll exercise and exercise, to always be in good shape, without getting given drugs that'll make him stupid (like Tiny and Kong). Though it didn't quite work at first, it wasn't until he was nearly an adult that he started to.

He was actually helped out by Crash and Coco to escape the Space station and mind control Dr Cortex had him under, and he was really grateful for it and soon became friends with them, and also soon got to go back to X.Treme Island where his old life and friends awaited him...

He's really quite gentle and kind with most people, and likes to help out his friends and others in need. But he can turn to the complete opposite with those who are bad, and deal with them quite brutally, depending on how evil they are. He enjoys training in most of his spare time, exploring around the islands and learning how to hunt... since he wasn't very good at it after spending a lot of his life in space.

These days he just lives on X.Treme Island, awaiting new baddies and wrong doers... for a bit of action.

He was evolved at this age (age unknown but very young anyway) and he was a lot different. He was rather shy and quiet, and curious of everything around him. He was originally evolved to be obsessed with exercising and staying fit, but it didn't quite work (didn't work until he got older) and thus, Cortex thought he was another useless minion. He has average intelligence, genetically modified to already know how to speak, read and the other basics (most of the minions were made this way).

Though his personality quickly started to change... and he started to get more aggressive because of Cortex...

Crunch was much different at this age. He was a smartass, quite rude to others he didn't like and didn't care about anything but himself, Tani and Tawna. And all he wanted to do, was piss off Dr Cortex is any way he could, since he wanted revenge somehow... after what happened to his other sister Crystal.

But after he was taken into space, he started to change quite a lot, started to lose his cheeky personality more and more as the days went by.....

Crunch as an adult is much different, he started to respect others that respected him, he was very powerful too and was a lot more mature than before but also held a lot of hate inside of him, especially the grudge towards Cortex, but along with the hate, he held sorrow there too, he missed Tani a lot and hated losing all the time. He wanted to soon go and kill him. N.Gin got too afraid and told Dr Cortex... and unfortunately Cortex managed to get him under control with a mind control device, because Cortex saw him as a very powerful minion that could be of good use.

But it wasn't very long until Crash and his team broke Crunch from the mind control that Cortex had him under at the time Cortex tried to take over the world (yet again), Crunch was infuriated and wanted to finally finish off Cortex at the scene but Crash and Aku aku stop him because the Space Station was slowly breaking apart, Crunch didn't understand why they were helping him at the time but he decided to run off with the orange bandicoot and mask.

Wasn't long until he was back on Earth again, he was really grateful for getting freed from the mind control and getting saved. Crunch then became good friends with Crash and his team quickly, and from here on... he went back to X.Treme island and it wasn't long until he finally got back with Tani... and only to find he has a new enemy of his own to face...

Around a year had passed, giving Crunch a lot of relaxation at X.Treme island. He currently lived with Tani and Tiny, and sometimes fights and arguments broke out towards him and Tiny... he secretly wished Tiny would just get out! This was also around the time Dr Brio foolishly (and accidentally) morphed all humans into anthros.

So Crunch, Crash and Coco all decided to go on a mission to help reverse the effect, by gathering up the Futurium Topaz for Dr N.Brio. A lot of things happen while they're in the cities, Crunch wasn't very fond of being in the cities... as it was too crowded with too many different species. Though he did have a bit of fun now and then... until he meet a Thylacine named Derick, which taunted him because of Tani.

But soon there was much more serious things to worry about more than ever, a Demoness by the name of Crimzon was on loose and wanted Crunch to join her side. Crunch obviously refused of course, but she warned him if she doesn't change his mind... all the ones he care for will pay the price. Crunch sees this as a serious situation, and tries to think of ways to combat her... he knows he and even his friends alone can't stand up to this Demoness, as her powers and magic are just too strong. So he decides that he should use....

He wasn't sure of it at first, but he's one of the few that's able to handle and even use their power, so he decides to try his luck out... Aku aku isn't very sure about it, neither is Crunch... as the elementals almost destroyed him back around the time he escaped Cortex (Cortex forced Crunch to overuse the elementals back then). He and Aku go to the elemental temple, where they were being held in hibernation state but when they arrive, they are shocked to see that Crimzon had already released them! (She tried to steal their power, but they all escaped, except Rok-ko) so Crunch teams with Rok-ko, and goes off on a big quest to find and try to convince the other elementals to team up with him, and stop Crimzon Demoness's madness.

The Adventure was massive. Many things happened along the way, Crash and Coco did help out now and then when they were able to. Tani unfortunately wasn't able to help much because she was injured and wasn't feeling up to it. Crunch got Py-ro second, but it wasn't easy to learn his powers... as it made him very angry and go out of control very easily. But he was powerful in that form. Humans then got the wrong idea of Crunch and started to think he was evil, and tried to destroy him on sight. But Crunch usually got away without harm, and without harming them in return.

After he got Lo-lo (who was a lot easier to gain than Py-ro) he encountered a rather dangerous anthro who had Crash and Coco held captive... the Bearminator. He was Neo Cortex's latest creation, and that's when Crunch found out Cortex was back! But Crunch didn't have time to worry about Cortex. The fight against the bear was very harsh, Crunch didn't use the elementals, only to destroy the bears weapons. But he didn't want to cheat and use the powers to beat the bear, and he had to save his power for fighting Crimzon later on anyway.

I first saw him in 'Wrath of Cortex' at a friends house but I didn't really like him... until I rented the game for one night, and then I clung to him (well, idiotic Izabell did anyway lol).

He's a character that has changed my creativity forever, Been a big fan of him ever since then, and I still like to draw him a lot. He got me to make animations, games, websites, fanfics and more...

Even though he is currently ruined in the Crash games (since CTTR) I kind of don't care anymore.... I just don't take notice of the games much nowadays, and just focus on my OB work with him instead.
