Crystalis

Crystalis is a character in the Crash Bandicoot series. He was created as an antagonist for Magmortar's version of the continuity. He is the namesake character and one of two primary antagonists (the other being Doctor Neo Cortex) in Crash Bandicoot: The Shattered Crystalis.

Crash Bandicoot: The Shattered Crystalis
Crystalis serves as one of the game's primary antagonists and is the backbone behind the game's conflict. Crystalis was put to sleep on a deserted planet a long time ago after a battle with other deities; he made a claim that Aku Aku was involved with this process. Eventually Doctor Neo Cortex was banished to this realm. The doctor is the one responsible for accidentally re-awakening the creature and fueling it with rage. After much anger and explaining the true purpose it has in the world to Cortex, the two eventually make an agreement. Cortex would help to find the Power Crystals that Crystalis needs to become powerful again, then Cortex would rule and Crystalis would destroy. After making this agreement Crystalis constructs a new base for Cortex. From there is where Cortex would begin his part of the deal.

Appearance
Crystalis is capable of shape shifting to various degrees. The degree depends on how much power he has at the moment. For the most part, Crystalis prefers a simple base form: A giant, pitch-black reptilian skinned creature with monochromatic white eyes, an incredibly long neck with several dents that mark the locations of the Power Crystals in his body, and a solid body without limbs. In this form, he likes to attack using slimy tentacles.

Character
Crystalis is shown to be a rage-fueled deity with very little tolerance for mistakes. He always seeks destruction and is a firm believer in the believe that might makes right. He desperately seeks power in order to restore his former self. Despite being such an angered specimen, he sometimes shows a a more satirical, deadpan side. Crystalis is incapable of speech, but his roars and screeches can be understood by others through various means, so he can still hold a good conversation with people.

Trivia

 * Crystalis is the only major new character in TSC.
 * While the character's base design was somewhat inspired by Perfect Chaos, the two characters are a different matter entirely. Notably, Crystalis is actively evil and all of his destructive ventures have little to no reasoning or control behind them.
