'''Ripper Roo''' is a recurring character in the ''[[Crash Bandicoot (franchise)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' franchise
'''Ripper Roo''' is a blue kangaroo who was mutated by [[Doctor Neo Cortex]] and zapped by the [[Evolvo Ray]]. Ripper Roo appears as a boss in several ''[[Crash Bandicoot (franchise)|Crash Bandicoot]]'' games, starting with the first game, ''[[Crash Bandicoot (game)|Crash Bandicoot]]''. He has an insane personality and a distinctive maniacal laughter.
 
==Physical traits==
Ripper Roo is a blue kangaroo with crazed-looking eyes and razor-sharp toenails. His only article of clothing is a white straitjacket. As a bibliophile, Ripper Roo 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.

In ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]]'', Ripper Roo appears as the first boss, and he is fought at the end of the first [[Warp Room]]. During his boss fight, Ripper Roo bounces around on his cane like a pogo sticks and plants [[TNT Crate]]s within the tiles on the ground. Crash must avoid them and wait in the tile that Ripper Roo has not planted a TNT Crate. After the TNT Crates explode, Ripper Roo begins to plant [[Nitro Crate]]s into nearly every tile. Crash must avoid them as well and wait for Ripper Roo to hit one of the Nitro Crates, which detonates on Ripper Roo and gives Crash a brief chance to attack by [[spin]]ning into Ripper Roo. The battle cycle repeats two more times, so when Crash hits Ripper Roo a third time, he defeats the boss.
