Dingodile

Personality:   Dingodile is one of the most intelligent of Cortex's henchmen. In general, he is a pyromaniac who is quite vicious and seldom seen without his flamethrower. Despite his dangerous and cunning personality however, like many enemies of Crash, he is sometimes buffoonish and reckless. His own trigger-happy and destructive nature often is the key to his downfall. He also tends to have a darkly playful and rather humorous side, as he often tends to make jokes about food. Before battling Crash in Warped, for example, he cackles "Break out the butter... I'm gonna make toast!" Another example occurs in Twinsanity: "Rumor is you two chumps have got your mitts in some treasure, and I want a piece of that pie." When Dingodile first appeared, he had a raspy Australian accent. However, in Crash Bash, he had an uncharacteristically deep and somewhat goofy laugh whenever he won a minigame. He regained his first accent in Crash Nitro Kart. In Crash Nitro Kart, Dingodile is seen showing traits of cowardice. Examples of this are present when he covers his eyes during a particularly high jump, and when he says lines such as "I can't look!" It is believed that this trait stems from being under the powerful hypnosis of N. Trance, and is not present when he is not under his mind control. In Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, he seems to have discarded his more villainous side, desiring to only live in retirement and run his diner. Even when he encountered Tawna, Crash, Coco, and Neo Cortex, he decided to help them and the Quantum Masks to take down both N. Tropys in exchange for returning him home. This is notable evidence that he indeed has had a change of heart. He also seems to have a rather vulgar sense of humor, as when he and the other playable characters saw the N. Tropys flirting with each other, while the others felt both disgusted and confused, Dingodile was amused (as seen by him nudging Crash's shoulder and laughing at the Drs. Tropy). He is also more foul-mouthed than he was in previous games, and is one of the few characters in the game to use swear words (one of the others being Crash in the 100% ending). In Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!, Dingodile came back to his villainous life, working for Dr. Neo Cortex and trying to stop Crash and Coco from ruining the mad scientist's plan of multiverse domination. However, with different versions of Dingodile appearing, him turning back to being a villain may not be the case.
