Ridge

During the beginning of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 3: Night of the Quinkan, a mysterious Thylacine-for-hire named Ridge appears on the scene to battle the shadowy foes.

Role
After Ty returns from the Dreaming six months later, assumed to be dead, he arrives in the ravaged Burramudgee. He is immediately approached and helped by a dark brown Tasmanian tiger/Thylacine named Ridge. The mysterious Thylacine questions Ty's presence and enlists him to help against the Quinkan threatening the "General". While Ridge handles machinery and takes out the Quinkan that draw near him, Ty deals with the menace to keep the "General" safe. After they are dealt with, Ridge reveals to Ty that the "General" is none other than Dennis, a Bush Rescue member with a long-standing reputation as a coward (although in this game, he's quite confident with a rocket launcher).

Ridge is commended for his support and is made an honorary member of Bush Rescue.

Attributes
Not much is known about Ridge but going by some of his dialogue, it is known that he is at the very least acquainted with Ty's allies. (This is to be judged by comments like "I love listening to you trying to talk tough. If Sly were here, he'd laugh too.") After being made an honorary member of Bush Rescue, one can assume his heroic work carried further.

He is blind in one eye but is nevertheless an efficient fighter.

Ridge is also shown to be quite respectful of those who have some sort of authority or high-standing. When speaking of Dennis/"The General", Ridge described him as being what "every man aspired to be". When Ty first appeared, Ridge was a bit condescending towards him and even mocked him a bit (such as the aforementioned comment). However, he became far more respectful and in awe once he learned of Ty's identity.
