As the continent starts to crumble all around them they help look for Louis along with Ellie and Peaches.
Louis asks them how could they be so happy when their home is falling apart, Crash simply told him that they were stupid but, they just didn't respond, Crash just squeezed his nose saying "beep". They were terrified when they found out that the land bridge wasn't there anymore and were taken hostage.. During the fight against the pirates, they were briefly seen clinging to Dobson's back, and again when the Sub-Zero Heroes were cornered.
As they embrace their herd after the battle, they headed off to find some new home where they are looking forward to new horizons that wait among them.
