Ripper Roo was created by [[Naughty Dog]] to show the dangers of the Cortex Vortex in a humorous way. He also provided an opportunity for the animators to use overlapping action.<ref>"[https://web.archive.org/web/20070317063359/http://naughtydog.com/crash/crash/c1-character.htm Crash Gallery - Character Sketches - Crash 1].

He is voiced by [[Jess Harnell]] in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Andrew Morgado in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. | |||

=== | ==General information== | ||
In '' | ===Physical appearance=== | ||
Ripper Roo is a small blue kangaroo with crazed-looking eyes and razor-sharp toenails. His only article of clothing is a white straitjacket. In his biblophile stage, he sports a top hat, glasses, a bowtie, and a walking cane. He is also capable of growing blonde hair, growing a full head of hair and a blonde mustache. | |||
===Personality=== | |||
As a result of being overexposed to the Evolvo Ray, Ripper Roo is demented and hopping mad. He does not speak and instead giggles maniacally. In ''Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back'', Roo has become somewhat of a biblophile, with a numerous amount of books found in his lair during the boss battle against him. In this state, he uses his cane to move around rather than his own feet. It usually takes a large explosion to revert Ripper Roo to his old, maniacal state. | |||
