Rilla Roo is a minor antagonist from the Crash Bandicoot franchise.
He is a cross between a gorilla and a kangaroo. Nothing is known about Rilla Roo other than he doesn't like getting his photo taken. Crash Bash was his only appearance in the original series so far, in which he served as part of Uka Uka's team and came back in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled as a playable character during the Winter Festival Grand Prix. However, he was originally going to be playable in Crash Nitro Kart.
He is voiced by Andrew Morgado in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
History[]
Crash Bash[]
Rilla Roo is a playable character under Uka Uka's team for Evil's victory. He serves as Dingodile's counterpart. This was his only appearance in the entire series, prior to his return in Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
Personality[]
According to the Crash Bash Manual, Rilla Roo has the disposition of a train wreck and prefers to take his time around the arena, suggesting that he is rather patient. Despite this, the same manual also states that he is a first stringer and that he considers himself a closer. Also, according to the now-defunct Crash Bash website, Rilla Roo doesn't like having his photo taken. This is reflected in the game manual, where only a silhouette of him is seen among the pictures of the other characters, to make his debut appearance a suspenseful mystery.

Trivia[]
- Rilla Roo received a very poor reception from the fanbase, due to his character coming out of nowhere and appearing in a single party game, without a hint of his origins or if he was ever coming back.
- Rilla Roo was allegedly going to be a playable character in Crash Nitro Kart, but got cut along with N. Brio, Nina Cortex, Ripper Roo, and the Komodo Brothers.
- During production of Crash Bash, he was called Kanga-Rilla. This is similar to the names of mutants Dingodile created in the ending of Crash Team Racing, the Kanga-Rooster and the Dingo-Rilla. If the CTR ending is taken into account, it is possible that Rilla Roo might be one of Dingodile's creations, but it has never been confirmed, thus only an assumption.
- Before Crash of the Titans, he was the second of the two only hybrids of the series. The other and first one was Dingodile.
