Biography[]
Past[]
Mr. Crumb was a miserly, friendless and selfish old man with a big mansion hiding a huge treasure. His estate is rumored to be full of ghosts, restlessly wandering the mansion grounds, causing trouble to any who dare come there. Some say Crumb made an evil deal on his deathbed to awake the ghosts to guard his gold. He was so selfish that at the last, his unholy spirit would remain on Earth and keep the hoard safe forever. It is said the undead have risen from their graves and walk the night. Zombies break from their ancient underground crypts and search for souls. Spirits of the forest make the woods impassable. And the ghost of Mr. Crumb himself walks the dusty halls of his mansion hideaway.
Crash Bandicoot 99x[]
Crash, tempted by the allure of "forbidden treasure" and the rumors surrounding the mansion being haunted, dares to enter Mr. Crumb's mansion to try and collect it. Along the way, he finds himself up against Mr. Crumb and his undead army. His minions are undead monsters: a mummy called Grumbler, Digger a skeleton and Thorn Thing, an evil tree.
Crash Bandicoot: On the Run![]
Mr. Crumb comes back as a supporting antagonist, it's unknown if he is working alone with his minion Thorn Thing to kill Crash and Coco, or he is teaming up with Cortex and his henchmen. He completely changed his look by wearing an elegant purple suit and a tall top hat.
Personality[]
Mr. Crumb is very miserly and scurvy. He never had any friends and never intended to have any. What was important to him was his immense treasure that he would protect until death and beyond. He is also very vain and evil, so much so that he comes to terms with supernatural beings to achieve his goals. The character doesn't have a voice in the game, as he only has the audio file of a scream when he gets hit. But according to an interview with a developer, Mr. Crumb would have a Scottish accent. It's discovered in "Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!" that he is a dancer and that can spawn false copies of himself.
