Ripper Roo

Ripper Roo is a minor antagonist that appears in Crash Bandicoot series. A wild, mentally unstable kangaroo, he is considered to be a failed experiment of Neo Cortex, although the events that happened after the first game to him could state otherwise. He appeared in Crash Bandicoot as the second boss, and would hop around the arena turning spaces into TNT and Nitro spaces. Ripper Roo ends up hoping on the spaces and is knocked unconcious.

In Crash 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Ripper Roo returns after going through university to become a psychologist. He is working with Dr. Nitrus Brio in this game against Dr. Neo Cortex. He is now called "Doctor Roo'''". '''When Crash goes to fight him, he is in a library reading, but attempts to turn normal spaces in TNT, which lead back to him, and the explosion once again stops Ripper Roo.

He also appeared in Crash Team Racing as the first boss and a secret racer. Defeating Ripper Roo earned the player a key. In Crash Bash, he would occasionally make appearances to throw TNT at the contestants.

Ripper Roo made a cameo in Crash Twinsanity at Crash's "Birthday Party" along with a collection of Crash's former foes. After the event, he is then seen discussing lunch with Dingodile
