Tiny Tiger is a thylacine with an ironic name initially created by N. Brio. He is often seen working for the mad scientist, Neo Cortex, and is arguably his most loyal animal minion. In most games, Tiny is essentially the more rampaging, bestial counterpart to Koala Kong's self-infatuated muscleman disposition. Out of all of Neo Cortex's animal minions, Tiny makes the most appearances in the Crash Bandicoot series, appearing in nearly every game. His design and personality underwent significant changes in later games until the release of the N. Sane Trilogy.
