Arsonist

Arsonists are enemies encountered in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped. They are found only in the night Arabian themed levels High Time and Flaming Passion. These enemies peer out from the balcony of their windows, throwing Molotov cocktails at Crash. It is possible to avoid the attack since they only toss the cocktails in front of Crash, leaves burning soot stains where the flames were. They are also encountered in Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced.

Behavior

Arsonists are similar the Beaker-Throwing Lab Assistants in behavior, throwing a projectile at Crash. However, unlike the aforementioned assistants, the projectile lands onto a scorch mark and creates a small wall of fire that can be jumped over if Crash is careful or if he has the Double Jump power up.

They can be disposed of easily by the use of the Fruit Bazooka. They can also be spun, although that is a risky tactic to use on most of them, due to the chasm between them and the path. In N-Tranced, Crash can also defeat them by jumping on them.
