Personality[]
Dr. Wani is extremely intelligent and mischievous when compared to the other crocs throughout the games. He's very sophisticated, thanks to his higher intellect, able to invent machines such as the Mind-control Helmet and other inventions. Dr. Wani has shown to be narcissistic, due to his bragging about his classic and royal style while Frogger has none. He is also very showy and dramatic when he speaks about his plans, even sounding immature at times. However, he is more than willing to use violence if it will get him what he wants.
In spite of his intellect and apathy, he is prone to losing his temper when his plans don't come to fruition. When one of his subordinates, Ronin, reported that Frogger (and Berry depending on the route the player takes in Frogger: Helmet Chaos) have demolished the helmet factory and Crocodite Mine, Dr. Wani was quick to scold him and threatened to kick him off his cheerleading squad if he doesn't defeat Frogger himself.
