[edit] Overview
These Lab Assistants work for Doctor Neo Cortex. They usually consist of a menace to Crash and his friends, especially if found in numerous numbers. Do not be fooled by their human appearance- the Lab Assistants are actually androids (which means they're robotic beings with the appearance and behaviour of male humans.) Crash Bandicoot found an Assistant generator once. It would create vast amounts of these androids and warp them to several different eras, through the aid of the Time Twister.
The Lab Assistants are the most common enemies that can be found, and they have many different appearances and attacks. Below is a list of every type of Lab Assistants. In Crash Bandicoot: Warped, they can be seen behind the window, in the warp room of levels 26-30. A huge stamp styles them in a second into the many kinds of enemies, warped into the level he should be in (They are the Arabian Sworsmen; Mummies; Knights; and Chinese - the kind carrying buckets).
