Creation
Fake Crash was originally created by Naughty Dog when the team saw a cheap Japanese Crash toy with large teeth and eyebrows. They nicknamed the toy "Trash Bandicoot", and turned it into the character named Fake Crash. Fake Crash is, as his name implies, a poor imitation of Crash Bandicoot. He has very large eyebrows and teeth, and a really goofy voice. In Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Fake Crash is created from the result of Aku Aku trying to rescue Crash from N. Tropy's vortex.
