Beany the Bird

"You’re the only chance they have. You must help! Can you imagine what it’s like for a Gobbo being all alone?"

-- Beany Bird

Beany Bird is a little,magical yellow bird with black wings that was summoned by King Rufus to rescue Croc when Baron Dante was rampaging Gobbo Valley. At the end of each level, there is a Beany Bird Gong which calls Beany Bird to come pick Croc up. Beany Bird's Magic causes Croc to shrink when being picked up, but when Beany Bird is taking Croc around any of the Islands, Croc will simply hang on to Beany Bird's talons. She, unfortunately, did not make it into Croc 2.

Trivia

 * When Croc defeats Neptuna, Beany appears wearing a scuba mask.
 * Beany Bird only appears in Croc 1. Not one single mention of her or the other characters from the first game are made. Except for, of course, Croc, and King Rufus and some other Gobbos appear in the beginning.
 * In the Game over scene when Croc walks away in shame of his defeat Beany appears to cheer him up.
