Atlantean Lara Copy
Occurrence	Tomb Raider Atlantis Tomb Raider Anniversary Lost Island - The Great Pyramid
Enemy Type	immortal enemy
Classification	Mutants, Atlantean
Distinctiveness	This enemy cannot be killed by conventional means. It was to be tricked to fall down a shaft hidden below a trapdoor.
Weapons	The creatures copies all of Lara's moves, so she is safe unless she hurts it.

Atlantean Lara Copy (also known as Doppelganger; and by fans often called Bacon Lara due to its looks) is an Atlantean copy of Lara Croft and can be seen as an immortal Enemy.

This copy is encountered in the Atlantis / Lost Island part of Tomb Raider / Tomb Raider Anniversary. 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 unaggressive, and cannot be killed by conventional means, as any damage done to it (like bullet wounds), is inflicted on Lara as well. So if the Doppelganger is killed, Lara dies too. Lara manages to outsmart the Atlantean by tricking it into a pit of lava covered by a trapdoor.

In Tomb Raider, it shoots bullets like as Lara. However in Tomb Raider Anniversary, it shoots fireballs (which do not inflict more damage than Lara's bullets). (How do we know?)

There is more than one difference; one is that the Doppelganger/Bacon Lara does not have the gear that Lara does like guns, backpack, skin, clothing etc. (It must have a gun in TR1?)
