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.
His name is a play on the word "entropy".
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 hide 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.
Overview
Nefarious Tropy is the self-proclaimed master of time and quantum warp technology. He seems to be an acquaintance of Uka Uka, called upon by the latter to help take over the world in Crash Bandicoot: Warped. However, he tends to get frustrated and tired when he repeatedly misses his target, as evidenced when Crash battles N. Tropy. This flaw helps Crash defeat N. Tropy, sending his Time Twister machine into disarray, turning him into a baby along with Cortex. He was the third boss of the game.
N. Tropy later mastered the relic races in Crash Team Racing and later Crash Nitro Kart, whilst also helping Doctor Neo Cortex with his super weapon, Crunch Bandicoot. He caused mass havoc when he teamed up with hypno-master N. Trance but was thwarted once more.
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.
N.Tropy has a cameo appearance in Crash Boom Bang! in the "Silhouette Quiz" minigame.
Weapon
N. Tropy's weapon is a large silver fork that can produce fireballs, lasers and blue waves.
Theme tunes
- N. Tropy's theme tune in Crash Bandicoot: Warped consisted almost entirely of synthesizers, with a prominent wood block digitally altered to make it play different notes.
Voice actors
He is voiced by the British voice actor Michael Ensign in all his appearances except Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, where he was voiced by Corey Burton.
He is voiced by Masaru Ikeda in the Japanese dub of the games.
Trivia
- Tropy is one of the few characters who wears armor the whole time.
- In Crash Nitro Kart, he, Pura, and Fake Crash were the only unlockable characters in the game who weren't seen in the cutscenes.
