Larry Craft is a centurion and the secondary antagonist in Asterix & Obelix XXL 2. His name and appearance spoof another videogame character named Lara Croft. He is the mini boss of the game. He attacks and defends himself with dual swords. To defeat him, the player needs to knock him out, jump and bounce off him and land on him with a powerful pound.
In the first cutscene, Larry Craft, disguised as Getafix, gathers three druids in the forest, then claps to signal the hiding Romans to surround them and take them hostage.
When Asterix, Obelix and Sam Shieffer arrive to Las Vegum, Larry Craft delivers the news to Caesar, who then orders him to stop them. At some point in WCW the Gauls almost fall into the lava pit, hidden under wooden planks, and hold onto one of the planks. Larry Craft in Getafix disguise approaches the pit, then kicks the plank, forcing the Gaulish heroes to fall down, but before he can leave the area Sam Shieffer rescues them. Asterix demands "Getafix" to reveal himself, and he takes off two Getafix masks, then his army arrives and the mini boss battle begins.
In the PSP version's multiplayer mode Larry Craft is a playable character.
In the remastered version, the player can try a challenge in the area of the mini boss fight, where they fight Larry Craft and his armored legionaries.
