Doctor Nefarious Tropy (ドクター エヌ トロピー, Dokutā Enu Toropī), commonly shortened to N. Tropy, is a fictional character from Crash Bandicoot.
N. Tropy is a minion of Cortex and the self-proclaimed master of time and quantum warp technology. He seems to be an acquaintance of Uka Uka, called upon the latter to help take over the world in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. 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 Michael Ensign in all his appearances except The Wrath of Cortex, where he was voiced by Corey Burton. 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
Main series
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.
N. Tropy plays a minor role in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, in which he attends Uka Uka's bad guy convention. He acts as an obstacle throughout the levels in the game.
N. Tropy's latest appearance was in Crash Twinsanity as the fifth boss alongside Doctor Nitrus Brio when they, using the vast resources from Doctor N. Gin's company, hunted for treasure. They were easily thwarted by Spyro the Dragon. It seems now that after the events of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, N. Tropy is no longer working aside the likes of Cortex, but instead working with N. Brio and N. Trance, although still on the same side as Uka Uka.
Spin-offs
N. Tropy later mastered the relic races in Crash Team Racing and later Crash Nitro Kart. He caused mass havoc when he teamed up with hypno-master N. Trance, but was thwarted once more.
