Ostrich

Ostriches are a species of bird that only appear in the secret area of Turtle Woods in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and the N. Sane Trilogy remake of the second game. A cut, rideable variant was planned to appear in Crash Twinsanity, but was scrapped.
==Description==
Ostriches are large flightless birds with a pink body and head, blue neck and legs, big, pink feet and a yellow beak. The head also has different black spots while the wings have lighter pink shades in the edges. In the remake, their legs and feet are yellow instead of blue and pink respectively, their neck is black, and their wings are darker.
==Behavior==
Ostriches are extremely fearful: when Crash jumps on their back they lay down and put their heads under the ground after a couple of seconds. When they hide their heads their backs, used as a platform by Crash, are lower than before, so the player must be fast if they want to reach the ledge on the other side of the creature.
Ostriches are the only creature in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and the N. Sane Trilogy remake of the second game to be completely harmless, so attacking them will result in nothing happening.
