Catbat is a playable character in the upcoming game Crash Team Rumble, having first appeared as a cameo in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time. They are a fusion of a cat and a bat.
It seems they may be a foil of Dingodile, as cats parallel with dogs (or dingos) in pop culture, as well as Dingodile having feuded with the bats of Mosquito Marsh during the events of Crash Bandicoot 4.
Overview
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time
Catbat appears in the 100% ending of Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, where they tease Dr. Neo Cortex as Coco Bandicoot triumphs over Nina Cortex.

Appearance
Catbat is a slim cat-bat hybrid with light blue-green fur. They have yellow eyes with catlike slit pupils and heavy eyebrow ridges, surrounded by dull pink markings and a scar over their right eye. They have a small pink nose, large fangs and long pointed ears with three silver piercings in the left ear. They also have a long thin tail and large spiked bat wings with pink webbing. They wear a black leather jacket with a tall, studded collar, dull blue jeans with a tear over the right knee, a black leather belt with a skull-shaped buckle, and a silver spiked ring around their tail. They don't wear anything under their jacket, showing purple stripes on their chest. They have bare feet with large brown claws.
Creation
Designer and artist Nicholas Kole has stated that the character was originally designed as nonbinary and uses gender neutral pronouns,[1][2] although this may have changed later in development. Since they are a playable character, they were designed to look more legible and appealing than monster-y.{{Cite web |url=https://twitter.com/FromHappyRock/status/1601285505026781185 |title=Not really constraints so much as balancing a playable design as something legible and appealing instead of too monstery- also if you take away the nose it’s all bat and no cat |date=December 9, 2022 |first=Nicholas |last=Kole |archiveurl=https://archive.is/efB4k |archivedate=December 24, 2022 |accessdate=December 24, 2022
