{{nihongo|'''Doctor Nefarious Tropy'''|ドクター エヌ トロピー|Dokutā Enu Toropī}}, commonly shortened to '''N. Tropy''', is a ] from ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
N. Tropy is the self-proclaimed master of ] and quantum warp technology. He seems to be an acquaintance of ], called upon the latter to help take over the world in '']''. He can be seen causing time paradoxes for laughs. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tropy is, needless to say, a nefarious and smug character as opposed to the short temper of Doctor Cortex, with a smooth British accent to match. He appears to be the smartest out of all the doctors, but he tends to get frustrated when he repeatedly misses his target, and as a result tires easily. This usually works to Crash's advantage and results in Tropy's many defeats to the hands of the bandicoot. |
|
|
|
|
|
Tropy's invention, the Time Twister, also appears to be his base of operations. However, it was destroyed at the end of ''Warped'', and Nefarious Tropy's base now appears to be Hyperspace, which he shares with Uka Uka. |
|
|
|
|
|
N. Tropy's main weapon is a large silver fork that can produce fireballs, lasers and blue waves. |
|
|
|
|
|
He is voiced by the British voice actor ] in all his appearances except ''The Wrath of Cortex'', where he was voiced by ]. He is voiced by Masaru Ikeda in the Japanese dub of the games. |

==Appearance== |
|
|
N. Tropy's skin is of a light blue color. He has long eyebrows and two equally long and skinny beards, giving him a vaguely Asian appearance. He wears a golden-brown, smog-producing, piston-driven time machine, which appears to obscure his lab coat. He wears a tall hat with a small silver fork (similar to the one he carries) on top and a small clock on the front. Lastly, his legs are long and skinny. |

==Appearances in video games== |
|
|
N. Tropy made his debut in ''Warped'' as the third boss in the game. Upon his defeat, the Time Twister Machine fell into disarray, trapping Cortex, Tropy, and Uka Uka in a time prison and morphing the first two into infants. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ], N. Tropy appears on Uka Uka's side, and can be unlocked by getting 100% with Cortex in adventure mode. |
|
|
|
|
|
N. Tropy plays a minor role in '']'', in which he attends Uka Uka's bad guy convention. He acts as an obstacle throughout the levels in the game. |
|
|
|
|
|
In ''Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced'', N. Tropy is entrusted by Uka Uka with the with the task of aiding him in universal domination. To do this, N. Tropy kidnaps Coco and Crunch, as well as Fake Crash, who he believes to be the real Crash. He then enlists ] to hypnotise them into joining him. However, Crash manages to turn the bandicoots back to normal, before defeating N. Trance and N. Tropy. |
|
|
|
|
|
N. Tropy's latest appearance was in '']'' as the fifth boss alongside ] when they, using the vast resources from ]'s company, hunted for treasure. They were easily thwarted by ]. It seems now that N. Tropy is no longer working aside the likes of Cortex, but instead working with N. Brio, although still on the same side as Uka Uka. |
|
|
|
|
|
In the cart racing games, '']'' and '']'', N. Tropy is master of the relic races, and can be unlocked by beating all his ghosts in Time Trial mode. |
|
|
|
|
|
N.Tropy has a cameo appearance in ''Crash Boom Bang!'' in the "Silhouette Quiz" minigame. |
