Krunk

Krunk is a mandrill-type animal who debuts in Crash Nitro Kart as the first boss. He is the champion racer of Terra, and is native to the planet. Krunk has a light blue and obese body, and he wears colorful tribal clothing. He dons a nose ring, and has a mane of blond hair that surrounds his head.

In Crash Nitro Kart, the first time Krunk is seen he is confident in his racing ability. Upon seeing any team he tells Velo to send them back to earth, but when Krunk learns the name of the planet from which the racers came from, he gets angry, because he believes that Earth is an imitation of his planet (incidentally, "Terra" is the Latin word for "Earth").

Krunk is raced on the track Jungle Boogie, where he drops Spike Fruits to use as a weapon. In the handheld release, Krunk uses TNT Crates instead.

When Krunk loses the race, he is seen with is head down, and learns humility. Crash gives Krunk his yo-yo as a gift from Earth. Krunk apologizes and admits that Terra copied from Earth instead.
