Dingodile
Dingodairu (ディンゴダイル)
Classification: Mutant (Dingo + Crocodile)
Gender: Male
Kind: Evil
Height: 2 meters
Weight: 95 kilograms

Dingodile is a mutant created by Dr. Neo Cortex. As the name implies, he is half dingo and half crocodile. He is a pyromaniac, which is why he always carries his trusty flamethrower and gas canister with him. Dingodile may seem like an ordinary henchman, but he is actually one of the most intelligent of Cortex's mutants. He talks with a distinct Australian accent, and his hobbies include reading Shakespeare and playing croquet. Originally at the service of Dr. Cortex, Dingodile now acts on his own free will, even turning against the doctor if needed. He used to live in a hut placed on a drifting iceberg (also home to Dr. Cortex's Lab), until it was destroyed by the fall of a huge snowball, courtesy of Crash and Cortex's trip down the iceberg. His current residence is unknown.

Character models: Show / Hide

	Crash 3/CTR Voiced by: William Hootkins [┼] (Crash 3)/Keisuke Ishida (Japan) Uncredited (CTR)/Keisuke Ishida (Japan) The original Dingodile model.
	Crash Bash Voiced by: Uncredited/Keisuke Ishida (Japan) The Crash Bash model resembles the previous one, but with less detail and no change of facial expressions. The ears are down instead of up; the nostrils are smaller and more separated from each other; he has more teeth showing (because of the longer upper lip); his toes are more visible; the cream fur in his palms and the underside of his arms is gone. He doesn't have the flamethrower in this game. In cutscenes, he is shown with thumbs.
	Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex In The WoC, Dingodile's ears are smaller. His fur is more purplish; the lower lip is now the same size as the upper lip again; he has new pants; toe nails are now more visible and pointier; the flamethrower has more checkered squares in it (as well as a greener colour); the gas canister on his back is much bigger, green and has the fire symbol on sideways, instead of in the back (also, the checkered pattern is wider).
	Crash Bandicoot: XS This model is based off of the Naughty Dog one. The flamethrower isn't checkered anymore, and Dingodile always wears a pair of swim trousers, due to the circumstance in his boss fight.
	Crash Nitro Kart Voiced by: Dwight Schultz/Hajime Iijima (Japan) In comparison to The WoC, Dingodile has browner fur again. His eyes turned green (or blue in the GBA version); the nostrils are bigger; the teeth are a bit shorter; he has a new pair of yellow trousers with belt; the tail is much spikier.
	Crash Twinsanity Voiced by: Dwight Schultz/Hajime Iijima (Japan) Dingodile got a whole remodeling in Twinsanity. His fur is of a dark brown; the ears are even smaller; his eyes are yellow with red pupils; he seems a little fatter; he teeth are smaller; gus hands are cream-coloured; there's a new pair of blue trousers and a different belt; the gas canister on his back resembles the old Naughty Dog one, but now it has an electronic display attached on the top; the flamethrower has lights on it. His face looks like the one seen in Crash 3's time vortex (see below).
	Crash of the Titans (DS version) Voiced by: Nolan North As this is a 3D model for a Nintendo DS game, it appears more polygonal than usual. Dingodile looks sort of similar to how he did in Twinsanity, but with a few differences. His fur is of a lighter hue, and his tail has the same colour as it. His ears aren't so close to each other anymore, and his eyes are white and much smaller. Though similar to the usual gas canister and flamethrower, he is actually carrying a water tank on his back and wielding a water gun (perhaps a modification to his old weapon). His pants are of a different kind of blue and his toe nails are larger.

Out of comparison:

CTR (In-Kart)
All in-kart models from CTR are much more polygonal versions than usual, since 8 of the usual character models on screen at the same time would be more than the PS1 could handle. He has black oval spots on his back fur here.

Crash 3 (Head in time vortex)
