Tropy and the lab assistants, all of them are vertically challenged, but exceed in their specialised field of science. It is clear by Wrath of Cortex that most of them are jaded from losing to that infernal bandicoot non-stop. Even besides that, being villains in the cartoony Crash Bandicoot universe, you can bet they spend a lot of time as frustrated Butt Monkeys. Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Most of them have over-the-top tragic backstories, deformities or other frustrations that moulded their bitter, abusive and megalomaniacal personalities in modern day.Small Name, Big Ego: While they possess legitimate talents in their fields of science, they are still incredibly arrogant and flawed individuals whose vices constantly lead to them being outsmarted by a Book Dumb marsupial who can't even talk.Cortex also drives a red kart in Crash Team Racing. Tropy ( and Tiny) drive in in Nitro Kart, and they're bad guys. Red and Black and Evil All Over: Well, more like red and gold, but that's what Cortex, N.Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: They're all doctors (except for Nina and Lab Assistants, but the latter are also smart to some degree) and they're all evil.Tropy's field of choice is quantum mechanics and the Lab Assistants. Gin's main hat is robotics and engineering, N. Brio dabbles in both biology and chemistry, N. Each one has a specialty in a certain field Cortex specializes in neuroscience, N. Mad Scientist: They're a collection of amoral, unstable and megalomaniacal science people who use their genius to create diabolical weapons and concoct plans to take over the world.Laughably Evil: Again the level of such depends on character and depiction, but none of them are immune to humour, even at their most menacing.Even the more menacing examples here rarely manage to go down with much dignity. Karmic Butt-Monkey: To what scale varies, but being a cartoon universe, all of them are cruel, petty meglomaniacs who face humiliating slapstick comeuppances at the hands of the bandicoots.Humans Are Bastards: They're all humans and they tend to cause the most pain in the games filled with modified animals.Of all of them, N.Tropy only looks slightly more normal in comparison due to his height. Gonk: They tend to be have bizarre proportions with oversized and bizarrely-shaped heads that often have strange bits and pieces slapped onto them.Evil Is Hammy: While some of them are more hammy than others and it generally depends on the installment, it's easy to see that these guys have a fondness for theatrics.Ditzy Genius: Next to all of them to some level, in spite of being scientific masterminds, their crippling arrogance, lack of foresight or general eccentricity (bordering on insanity) leads them to be constantly outsmarted by a crazy Book Dumb marsupial.Only N Gin, being The Igor, is sincerely loyal to Cortex, and even then has considered defecting. Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: All of them being Morally Ambiguous Doctorate with world domination desires (and given The Chain of Harm, many of them having bones to pick with each other), they frequently betray or sell each other out, when not plotting to overthrow Uka Uka himself.Several such as Cortex are also implied to be embittered by a lifetime of bullying and mockery. The Chain of Harm: Uka Uka is a Mean Boss to most of them, and the majority of them are in turn Jerkasses to each other and most of their underlings.The two N Tropys stand out as the few scientists who have no sympathetic qualities and are arrogant Jerkasses seemingly just because. Big Ego, Hidden Depths: They're all egomaniacal Mad Scientists and Smug Snakes, though several of the games and supplementary material trace them down as tormented individuals who turned to villainy out of bitterness and insecurity.N Tropy has been the Big Bad of two games, while Nina supplanted Cortex as such in Titans. Big Bad Ensemble: Most of the time, Cortex is the main villain, though Uka Uka will sometimes let another head a scheme, or one of them will betray Uka Uka to branch out on their own.Tropy is blue and Nina is a greyish-blue. Gin has been pink, yellow and grey at different points in the series, N.

Amazing Technicolor Population: All of them (barring Madame Amberly and the Lab Assistants) have odd skin colors: Cortex and N.
