its not just a name, crash bandicoot is supposed to be a bandicoot, lmao but yeah it is bandit + raccoon. i know some people on staff were iffy on that name because of how similar to bandicoot (and specifically crash because i think the hd version had just dropped when we were naming it) and didnt want that association i guess maybe he looks like sly cooper and its kind of unavoidable but theyre actually not based on sly. its based on various thieves from the fire emblem series!! i think the normal and albino are based on different parts of niles's palette, the shiny is based on shura and sothe, and the melan is based on anna (in her awakening/fates incarnations). maybe a bit of nina since nina also has red and black going on.uh i hope thats fine to say, i know dream talked about these guys in her journal but i havent actually read it yet LMAO
