[edit] Overview
Dingodile was created when a Naughty Dog employee asked the character designer for a cross between a dingo and a crocodile.
Dingodile is a hybrid mutant created by Doctor Neo Cortex. He is a dingo-crocodile hybrid with a Broad Australian accent who enjoys reading Shakespeare, playing croquet, and roasting orange bandicoots (and penguins) with his prized flamethrower. He is usually found as one of Cortex's three main henchmen, along with Doctor N.Gin and Tiny Tiger. He has become one of the most popular characters in the series.
[edit] Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped
In Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Dingodile made his debut as the second boss, which is fought during the ice ages. After the fight is won, a penguin that is believed to be Penta Penguin (who he attempted to kill earlier), comes and stomps on his back for revenge.
[edit] Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
Here, Dingodile played a minor role as an attendant at Uka Uka's "bad guy convention", and had no speaking lines. He often served as an obstacle or enemy in certain levels with his flamethrower.
[edit] Crash Twinsanity
In Crash Twinsanity, Dingodile reappears in this game. Hearing of the Evil Twins' treasure from Doctor Neo Cortex, he followed Crash to the boiler-room in the Academy of Evil where he attacked Crash. Crash eventually defeated him and escaped the boiler-room, while Dingodile was left lying on the floor. Dingodile has not been seen since then.
[edit] Other appearances
In Crash Team Racing, Dingodile returns as a playable character. His kart is in the "Advanced" catergory, and capable of high speeds.
In Crash Bash he's a playable character in "Team Bandicoot". Like Rilla Roo, Dingodile has a tail whip attack and both share the same abilities.
He is a boss in Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure who fights Crash underwater.
In Crash Nitro Kart Dingodile was assisting Doctor N. Gin (only to be smashed by a door when Tiny bolted into the room to help N. Gin as well in a very comedic manner) when Emperor Velo the 27th abducted their castle tower. After that, he is brainwashed by N. Trance to race for N. Trance's team. He is unlocked by beating the Red Gem Cup.
[edit] Weapon
Dingodile's main weapon is a flamethrower. However, in Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure, he uses a torpedo launcher instead.
[edit] Voices
- He is voiced by the late William Hootkins in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
- He is voiced by Dwight Schultz in Crash Nitro Kart and Twinsanity.
