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 (caused by Lara shooting it), 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 seems to shoot bullets like Lara - although it has no guns, the same animations are used for it as for Lara. However in Tomb Raider Anniversary, it shoots fireballs (which still inflict damage equal to that caused by Lara's bullets). (How do we know?)
There are differences between Lara and the Atlantean copy; one is that Doppelganger/Bacon Lara does not have equipment Lara does, like guns or backpack. More obviously it does not have hair, skin, clothing or shoes. (It must have a gun in TR1?)
One possible explanation for the Doppleganger's existence is that it was a trap specifically designed by the Atlanteans and/or Natla to trick Lara into killing herself, or at least make it impossible for her to pass due to the placement of various switches and pressure pads around the room that the copy would operate by mirroring Lara's actions.
