#Quoco Bandicoot

[almightyhamslice]

Crash Bandicoot Worlds gals! I think they’d fit nicely into the Tawnaverse, since they obvs haven’t been considered for the main universe since... well, Crash Bandicoot Worlds got reworked lol! So, they’re dead in the main universe. I guess that’s like a tradeoff for Crash n Coco being dead in the Tawnaverse? idk...

Anyways, the N on Quoco’s head is a mind control device that also causes the strange discoloration in her scleras. I figured that since Quoco’s description left a little to be desired, I made a few changes so she’d be easier to distinguish from Coco! So she has a streak in her hair (idk if I want it to be black or periwinkle tbh), a bent ear, and part of her tail has been cut off, so it appears blunt. 

Reo isn’t intended to be an alternate universe counterpart to Nina, she’s actually quite a bit older (close to Crash or Tawna’s age) and is DEFINITELY Cortex’s daughter. Her right eye is mechanized, she can fire lasers from it & use it as a flashlight in the dark. It also has scan & X-ray functions, but these only work if she closes her other eye. She’s not particularly fashion conscious & just kind of throws together individual outfit parts that look cool, without consideration for the whole look. I think she can pull it off!! lol

Anyways, I did also toy with the idea of reworking Elli-Mental as well, but I’m still thinking about it & trying to figure out how to draw her correctly. I like to think she can actually shift the elemental states her body is made up of & she doesn’t always have, say, fire hair & a water dress, she could have stone hair & a cloud dress if she wanted to. She can probs also change the composition of her actual body, but I think she uses wood/earth because it’s solid. But anyways, that’ll be for another day.

I talked about this on Twitter: in Twinsanity, Cortex mentions nursing Crash, so it's my headcanon that Cortex bred a bunch of bandicoot babies once upon a time, only to choose the best ones for his evil purposes.

Because bandicoots typically have 3 to 6 joeys per litter, and because I believe that Coco came from a later litter than Crash, it's very possible that Crash and Coco have anywhere from 4 to 10 additional siblings (assuming there were only two litters in their family because bandicoots breed FAST).

If that's true, then Cortex likely "disposed of" these other bandicoots. However, I'd prefer to think he's keeping them all in cryogenic storage for safe keeping... because the idea of him killing a bunch of unwanted bandicoots, while in-character, horrifies me too much.

And now all I wanna do is design Crash and Coco's siblings... maybe I'd include Crush and QuoCo among them!

You guys have no idea how badly I want Crush and QuoCo Bandicoot to be canon.

I know, Crash and Coco already have "evil twins" in the 10th Dimension, but... knowing Crash could have had a twin brother, or Coco a twin sister? WOULD HAVE BEEN AWESOME. But no.

You know what, they're canon in my heart, and that's all that matters! Maybe, now that the multiverse is a thing in the Crash franchise, Crush and QuoCo do exist somewhere.

... And so does Reo Cortex.
