| Occurrence = * [[Tomb Raider]]

| Type = immortal enemy
| Classification = [[Mutants]], [[Atlantean]]
| Distinctiveness = The creature copies all of Lara's moves, so Lara is safe unless she attacks it. This ''enemy'' cannot be killed by conventional means. It must be tricked to fall down a shaft hidden below a trapdoor.

The '''Doppelgänger''' (also known as '''Bacon Lara''' by the fans due to its looks) is an [[Atlantean]] copy of [[Lara Croft]] created by [[Jacqueline Natla]]. This doppelgänger appears in [[Tomb Raider]] and [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]]. In [[Tomb Raider Underworld]] Lara sees herself face to face with an [[Lara's Doppelgänger|advanced version]].

==Occurrence==
The Lara copy is first encountered in the [[Atlantis]] level of [[Tomb Raider]]. It reappears in the remake [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]], in the [[Lost Island]] level [[Lost Island - The Great Pyramid|The Great Pyramid]].

==Appearance==
It has the red skinned, hairless appearance of all [[Atlantean]] mutants, but is noticeably female. It mimics Lara's movements exactly, like a mirror image. It is inaggressive, and cannot be killed by conventional means, as any damage done to it (caused by Lara shooting at it), is inflicted on Lara as well. So if the Doppelganger is killed by Lara's Firearms Lara dies as well.

There are differences between Lara and the Atlantean copy; one is that "Bacon Lara" does not have the equipment Lara does, like guns or backpack. More obviously it does not have skin, clothing or shoes.

In [[Tomb Raider]], it seems to shoot bullets - although it has no guns. It uses the same animations as Lara does. However in [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]], it appears to shoot fireballs, presumably generating them in a similar way to [[Natla]].

==Story==
Lara manages to outsmart the Atlantean by tricking it into a pit of lava covered by a trapdoor.

==Tomb Raider Anniversary==
According to the documentation released with [[Tomb Raider Anniversary]] the Lara copy is "''a hideous creature with no skin'' which ''mysteriously shares the exact physical characteristics of Lara Croft. Possessing only the most basic primal instincts, the creature mimics the actions of its adversaries. Lacking conscience, reason, and any kind of soul, the doppelgänger is at once both very dangerous and also quite vulnerable.''"

==Tomb Raider Underworld==
{{mainarticle|Lara's Doppelgänger}}
In [[Tomb Raider Underworld]] Natla has created a new advanced version of the doppelgänger. This version has been outfitted with skin, hair, even its iris is identical to Lara's, which enables her to invade the Croft Manor treasure room. It has been give the ability to act on its own accord, but can be given orders by its master.

==Fan speculation==
<center>{{Template:Fan Opinion}}</center><br>
One possible explanation for existence of the Atlantean copy of Lara is that it is a trap specifically designed by the [[Atlantean]]s and/or [[Natla]] to trick Lara into killing herself, or at least make it impossible for her to pass. However, given that Natla probably assumes that Lara has been killed after diving from the cliff outside the [[Sanctuary of the Scion]] and that the [[Atlantean]]s have never seen Lara before, it seems unlikely that the mutant would be hatched on the off chance that Lara would show up. Although the mutant mimics Lara's movements - maybe it has just hatched and is learning or "programming" itself by copying the first thing that it sees - it doesn't resemble Lara particularly in [[TR1]], and its encounter with Lara may just be an unfortunate accident.
