[edit] Spyro
Spyro the legendary purple dragon.
Spyro was the only his kind at the youngest age so he has many adventures to defeat Dark Cynder, and the king of apes itself Gaul, and the Dark Master in dawn of the dragon,and Ripto.Spyro on the night of eternal darkness.Spyro must prevent Gaul from resurrecting the Dark Master faced with a little time great danger and new enemies.Spyro fights his way through an epic jouney featuring voices talent as Elijah Wood as Spyro,Billy West as Sparx,Gary Oldman as Ignitus,Cyril as Jeff Benett,Chronicler as Martin Jarvis,Volteer as Corey Burtan,Gaul as Kevin Michael Richardson,Cynder as Cree Summer,and others.
[edit] Sparx
Throughout the series, Spyro has always appeared with one companion at his side: a dragonfly named Sparx. In the world of the Dragon Realms, dragonflies offer protection for young dragons such as Spyro; without Sparx, Spyro would be susceptible to being killed or defeated in a single hit.
While Spyro and Sparx occasionally converse with each other, Sparx's focus in the Spyro series is more oriented towards gameplay than narrative: Sparx is the player's health meter personified. Whenever the player takes a hit, Sparx's body color changes, from gold, to blue, to green, and ultimately disappearing entirely, leaving Spyro vulnerable to defeat upon the next hit. The player can restore Sparx's (and, hence, Spyro's) health by defeating small creatures called "fodder" throughout each level. Doing so releases a butterfly, which Sparx devours, recovering one hit point in the process.
Aside from his function as a health meter, Sparx also assists by collecting nearby gems and treasure for the player, and in later games Sparx's own abilities can be upgraded, including the ability to withstand an extra hit (first with a brighter shade of yellow to represent full health, but later with a shade of red to indicate low health), being able to retrieve treasure from a larger distance, or even the ability to retrieve gems directly from boxes without requiring Spyro to destroy them first. Sparx can also help Spyro by pointing towards the location of gems that Spyro has not collected yet.
Sparx also appears as a playable character in several mini-games throughout the later games in the Spyro series, such as several Gauntlet-style levels in Year of the Dragon and Season of Ice, and a rail shooter-style minigame in A Hero's Tail. If the player has acquired the additional hit point, Sparx's own health reflects the extra hit as well. In levels where the player controls a character other than Spyro (such as Hunter in A Hero's Tail), Sparx follows along with that character in the same manner as for Spyro. In Spyro 2 Sparx changes colour to show how many hit points he and Spyro have.
Gold: No hits, full health Blue: 1 hit, a bit bad Green: 2 hits, quite bad Gone: 3 hits , DANGER one more hit and you lose a life Spyro dead: 4 hits you lose a life Also Spyro can flame "fodder" (sheep, frogs, ladybirds ect) to release butterflies for sparx to eat and gain a hit point. For the every tenth butterfly you get will be a blue one which is and extra life, you can also get lifes by smashing clear bottles with a blue butterfly in them or getting a skill point. You can only get upto 99 lives unless you know the skill point trick.
In The Legend of Spyro storyline, Sparx is Spyro's foster brother. With Spyro having a separate health bar, Sparx serves primarily as a travelling companion. In this continuity, Sparx's role has been reduced to serving as the series' comic relief, often giving out humourous dialogue and sarcastic remarks. Spyro often serves as the subject of Sparx's jokes, of which Spyro often retaliates. Despite this, he is still willing to help Spyro no matter what happens.
Sparx's voice is a high pitched buzz that many would expect from an insect that was supplied by Andre Sogliuzzo, but more recently he has been shown to speak in a more intelligible nature in A Hero's Tail by Jess Harnell. Most recently, Sparx was voiced by David Spade in A New Beginning, Billy West in The Eternal Night, and by Wayne Brady in Dawn of the Dragon.
[edit] Agent 9
Agent 9 is a space monkey native to Agent 9's Lab. He started out life as a lab monkey for the Professor, but then was given a laser blaster and taught how to fight. He first appeared in Spyro: Year of the Dragon, and was playable in two subsequent games
Agent 9 is incredibly trigger happy, and even gave his laser blaster a name ("Mr. Laser Blaster"). Along with being completely psychotic, he has an incredible disdain for Rhynocs, leading to his intense liking for killing them. Agent 9 always carries his laser blaster. The Year of the Dragon manual gave this as Agent 9's introduction:
"Don't monkey around with Agent 9 because he is one! Agent 9 is one of the Professor's lab monkeys. But after special treatment and training he is no ordinary chimp. Agent 9 is a highly intelligent special operative whose specialty is laser blasters and precision delivery of explosives."
Agent 9, when he first appeared, was decked out in red and green armor with a yellow helmet (similar to Marvin the Martian) with a laser blaster. In his next appearance, he changes his wardrobe and wears a futuristic chrome outfit and matching helmet with his trademark laser blaster. Images from the Year of the Dragon website reveal that Agent 9 may have originally been decked out in yellow, and may of had beady black eyes, as opposed to the current eyes he has now.
[edit] Bentley
Bentley is a Yeti who made his debut in Spyro: Year of the Dragon and reappeared in Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy and Spyro: A Hero's Tail. His main weapon is a huge club, presumably made out of crystal, with which Bentley can manipulate with ease, both for offense and defense. In "Spyro: Year of the dragon", he resides in his outpost in the Forgotten Worlds. In "Spyro: A Hero's Tail", he has since moved (temporarily or otherwise) to Gloomy Glacier, in the Dragon Worlds.
In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, Bentley appears to be a very learned creature, shown through his elaborate and accurate use of language. He also appears to be a rather humorous (that or very prone to laughing) Yeti, as shown by his section of the end sequence when he and Spyro re-enact the ending sequence of Spyro the Dragon, when he is keeping Hunter and Bianca's love a secret from Spyro. Unsurprisingly, he has quite a loathing of Sir Moneybags (as he is the one who kept him locked in a cage) and the Sorceress (the main Villainess of that game).
In "Crash/Spyro: Fusion", he appears as an unlockable card.
In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Bentley does not retain the language he had in his previous speaking role. In fact, fans have criticized the makers for making him 'too dumb'. He appears once in the game, aiding Hunter when he is in Gloomy Glacier.
Bentley has a little brother called Bartholomew. It is assumed that he can be annoyed by Bartholomew's behavior but, like a big brother should, Bentley still cares deeply for his brother, and will stick up for him when Bartholomew asks him to. Some hidden voice clips prove Bentley really loves his little brother, and will always make sure he's out of harms way.
[edit] Bianca
Born in the Rabbit Habitat, Bianca studied as a sorceress with the ruler of the Forgotten Worlds, although she was still in training when she stole the Dragon Eggs from the Dragon Realms. Whne Spyro came to take them back, she warned him against continuing, and tried to kill him and Hunter, which only resulted in the cheetah developing a crush on her.
Because of her failure, the Sorceress ordered her to craft a monster from one of the servant Rhynocs at the palace. The result- Buzz- faired poorly against Spyro, as did the next monster, Spike.
At this time, Hunter was kidnapped, and Bianca developed a crush on him too, resulting in her freeing him from captivity, and turning to the side of good. She helped defeat the Sorceress in the Super Bonus World by giving Spyro a specially crafter saucer.
When Ripto invaded the Dragon Realms, she assisted by teaching Spyro how to use the magic runes that would teach him a new breath attack. She later helped him during the big freeze caused by Grendor, by opening the portals to new world.
[edit] Blink
A young mole and the Professor's nephew, Blink appeared in A Hero's Tail and Shadow Legacy and "Spyro Fusion"
[edit] Dragon Elders
A group of adult anthropomorphic dragons and the apparent governing body over the series's Dragon Realms, who teach Spyro various new skills and gameplay abilities. A specific group of five elders were named in A Hero's Tail and Shadow Legacy.
[edit] Elora
A native of Avalar, Elora is a strong leader in times of crisis. During Ripto's invastion, she was an essential force in keeping the peace between the worlds. Her assisstance to Spyro the dragon during his fight was invaluable. She provided him with the magical guide book and much-needed information along the way. Among the fauns of Avalar, Elora appears to be unique. Her native home world is unknown.
She is voiced by Melissa Disney in Ripto's Rage. Oliver Wade designed her based on a friend and she was named after Caroline Trujillo, who worked at Insomniac at that time.
[edit] Hunter
A cool cheetah who first appeared in Ripto's Rage! to help train (and sometimes challenge) Spyro with various tasks. While he's a loyal friend and marginally knowledgeable with basic tasks, he seems to have trouble grasping the severity of Spyro's mission and can be relatively naive and gullible, leading him to being captured or tricked easily. Hunter developed a crush on Bianca in Year of the Dragon, And in the same game, had 4 playable minigames of his own, one in each the speedway level, He was a fully playable character in two levels of A Hero's Tail. Like his name implies, he is a very skilled bow and arrow hunter, and is strong and agile enough to hold his own in a fight if need be. He often prides himself in him applying his species' speed to everything he does, and expresses minor jealousy or pride when Spyro beats him at something, respectfully. A figure similar to Hunter appears later in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, revealing that he may make an appearance in the third installment of The Legend of Spyro trilogy, and indeed is later confirmed to make an appearance in the upcoming game; The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, to be voiced by Blair Underwood.
[edit] Sgt. Byrd
An anthropomorphic penguin introduced in Year of the Dragon, Sgt. Byrd is a soldier armed with various weapons (such as a rocket launcher), and able to fly (attributed to being raised by hummingbirds). Sgt. Byrd was also playable in Attack of the Rhynocs, in missions that involved rescuing his fellow soldiers; he also appeared in A Hero's Tail for flying missions.
[edit] Sheila
A female kangaroo who first appeared in Year of the Dragon, she appears to be neighbors with goats. Sheila's gameplay focused on her jumping ability, she can jump, do a double jump and do a super jump. She can also kick with her feet and do a stomp move similar to Spyro's headbash move. Sheila also made a cameo appearance in Attack of the Rhynocs. Contrasting to her appearance, she speaks with a smooth Australian accent.
[edit] The Professor
An anthropomorphic mole who first appeared in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, He Brought Ripto And Spyro to Avalar and he assists Spyro by creating various devices and gadgets. He Also made an appearance in "Spyro: Year Of The Dragon", helping Agent 9 in his level. It appears that he entered Agent 9's labs after he tried to use his portal to get to the dragon realms, but the coordinates were out of date, sending him to the "forgotton worlds" instead, and hence, finding Agent 9 Labs.
[edit] Recurring side characters
[edit] Ember
A small pink dragon that appeared in A Hero's Tail, where she had a huge crush on Spyro and hoped to marry him one day, yet she fails to see that Spyro doesn't feel the same about her. In A Hero's Tail, her character model could be unlocked for viewing as well as actual gameplay. She later falls in love with Bandit the Armadillo from Cliff Town in Shadow Legacy, despite how the dragons blame the armadillos for some of their own problems. She is a sweet character and has a heart on her tail.
[edit] Flame
A young, vivid red dragon that appeared in A Hero's Tail and Shadow Legacy, much like Ember. His character model could also be unlocked view viewing and gameplay in A Hero's Tail.
[edit] Moneybags
An snobbish anthropomorphic bear with a lust for gems, Moneybags first appeared in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and also appeared in "Spyro: Year Of The Dragon" and "Spyro: Enter The Dragonfly", where he impeded Spyro's progress, opening up new passages, released unlockable characters, or granting new abilities for Spyro for "a small fee". Moneybags also appeared in A Hero's Tail and Shadow Legacy, but with a different characterization, serving as a shopkeeper from which the player could purchase various items.
[edit] Zoe
A fairy who first appeared in Ripto's Rage!, offering Spyro advice and serving as checkpoints throughout the various levels. However, in "Spyro the Dragon", faires that appear above the areas where Spyro freed the dragons imprisoned in crystal could be an early rendering of Zoe.
[edit] Antagonists
The Spyro series has seen a wide array of antagonists, with each game generally centered around a single villain which Spyro sets out to defeat. As such, very few enemies or antagonists have appeared in more than one game in the series.
[edit] Gnasty Gnorc
The main antagonist in the first Spyro game, Spyro the Dragon, where he imprisoned all dragons (except for Spyro) in crystal and stole the dragon's treasure and used magic to turn them into monsters. Spyro fought against Gnasty Gnorc's minions (called 'Gnorcs', a race of gnome / orc hybrids), eventually reaching Gnasty Gnorc's home world, where he confronted and defeated him.
- Gnasty Gnorc later appeared as in A Hero's Tail as a level boss and one of Red's minions himself. He somehow had bad memory since he forgot that Spyro defeated him.
[edit] Grendor
The main antagonist in Spyro: Season of Ice for the GBA, originally a Rhynoc working for the Sorceress in Year of the Dragon, who captured fairies in ice in order to reverse a spell that caused him to have two heads.
[edit] Ripto
The title villain of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, Ripto is a diminuative but powerful reptilian sorcerer with a purple cape and a single horn on his forehead. Upon being accidentally transported to the realm of Avalar, he announces that he will be taking it over due to the fact that no dragons were native to the area. After an initial confrontation with Spyro and Avalar's residents, he fled to various locales within Avalar; Spyro pursued and confronted Ripto's two minions, Crush and Gulp, and eventually confronted Ripto himself, winning the battle using the assistance of "Power orbs" created by The Professor.
Despite his sound defeat at the end of Ripto's Rage! (although the epilogue of said game shows that he somehow survived his fight with Spyro), Ripto became a recurring villain in the Spyro series, appearing as the main antagonist again in Enter the Dragonfly. He also appeared in Season of Flame, Attack of the Rhynocs, and even the crossover title Spyro Orange and Crash Purple. He seems to be based on the witch Luna from Thunder Cats right down to riding on a dinosaur like creature.
[edit] The Sorcerer
The primary antagonist of Spyro: Shadow Legacy. A wizard wearing a hooded black cloak who sought to control the "Shadow Realm" and trap residents of the Dragon Realms and other locales within. The Sorcerer appeared several times throughout the game as a silent observer of Spyro's feats, teleporting away upon notice, and revealed his true identity only at the end when Spyro confronted and battled him. The Sorcerer was defeated, but not destroyed; he fled the realms and Spyro assumed he would later return.
[edit] The Sorceress
The primary antagonist in Year of the Dragon, an anthropomorphic dinopotamus who sent her apprentice, Bianca, to the Dragon Realms to steal dragon eggs, for use in a spell to assure her continued immortality. Bianca later betrayed the Sorceress and helped Spyro to confront the Sorceress, where she was defeated twice.
[edit] Red the Evil Dragon
The main antagonist of Spyro: A Hero's Tail, a huge, anthropomorphic red dragon, who used magical Dark Gems to corrupt the Dragon Worlds. He was a Dragon Elder, but became power-crazed, and was banished by the Dragon Elders for attempting to overthrow their leader. In his shameful exile, he set up home in an active volcano, where he discovered huge deposits of corrupting Dark Gems, which could drain the life force of healthy plants and animals, and make the world a very evil place, in which Red decided would be the perfect place for him to rule unquestioned. With his new found power, he allied with Gnasty Gnorc and Ineptune (Evil Queen of the Ocean), and then attempted to take over the world again, this time using Gnasty's army of Gnorcs.
Red is of an immence height, and has blood-red scales, and boasts jagged purple spines and horns on his head and down his back, which symbolise the corruption the Dark Gems have brought upon him. He like other Dragon Elders carries a magical staff, but instead of a Light Gem as its source of power, Red's has a Dark Gem, with which he commands all of the other's to do his bidding. He appears to be in full contol of the Gnorc army as well, as when Gnasty is defeated by Spyro, they still mindlessly serve him - and even let themselves be turned into robots in Red's Laboratory; with the forced work of the captured Professor; under Red's volcanic lair. Red was finally defeated by Spyro after the Professor accidentally changed him into a huge robot, and the Professor shrunk him down to the size of a mouse, and claimed that the now tiny, un-dangerous; (but no less evil) Red; would be useful in his own lab, claiming him to be of a more manageable size.
[edit] The Legend of Spyro series
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning served as a reboot of the series, discarding the original storyline entirely. The only characters from the original continuity to appear in A New Beginning are Spyro and Sparx, both having different personalities and looking entirely changed from their original versions. A figure looking like Hunter appears in The Eternal Night, so there is speculation that he may be in the next game.
[edit] Protagonists
[edit] Cynder
Cynder (voiced by Cree Summer in A New Beginning, Mae Whitman in The Eternal Night, and Christina Ricci in Dawn of the Dragon) was once a large, powerful black dragon who served as the primary antagonist in The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. Initially, she came from the same brood of eggs as Spyro, and in truth the same size and age as him. As an egg she was seized by the Dark Master's forces and she was raised by them; under the influence of the Dark Master's power, Cynder grew to adult size and strength quickly and was then able to defeat and capture the Dragon Guardians, collecting their power in the form of crystals and taking them to Convexity in order to free the Dark Master from imprisonment. After her defeat, Cynder returned to her original size and strength and was safely returned to the Dragon Temple.
In The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, Cynder runs away from the Dragon Temple in the middle of the night. When Spyro confronts her, she tells him she's off to find her own place in the world, still blaming herself for what had happened. Spyro later encounters her in an arena on a pirate ship after being captured, and although they are ordered to fight, Cynder states that she only wants to buy time until they can both escape. Just then, the pirate ship is attacked by Gaul's forces, and Cynder is taken captive. Gaul tells her that the Dark Master will either take her back for being such a faithful servant, or he'll kill her. It is later revealed that Gaul was the one who took her egg to begin with. When Spyro confronts Gaul, he orders Cynder to kill him, though Cynder fakes the fight so she can try and get Gaul's staff. After Spyro's battle with Gaul, Cynder saves Spyro from the Dark Master's clutches. She becomes frozen in time with Spyro and Sparx when Spyro uses his powers to save them all. Hopefully, they will be able to return to the world they belong in, reunite with the four dragon guardians, and the Chronicler, and eventually defeat the Dark Master, at last. Spyro also shows a bit of some feelings for the small black dragon seeing as how he constantly pursued danger in order to save her in "The Eternal Night".
[edit] Cyril
Cyril is a blue dragon and a master of ice; a wise but prideful dragon and the second rescued from Cynder's forces. Spyro rescues him from the Shrine god in Tall Plains where he finds the Atlawa Tribe and a loner called Kane who doesn't like Spyro until he defeats the God. He teaches Spyro the art of Ice Breath. He's voiced by Jeff Bennett in both games.
[edit] Ignitus
Ignitus is a red dragon, and a master of fire, who is the first Guardian Spyro encounters and becomes the closest to him; he is the one who sends Spyro off to locate the other three Guardians. Ignitus, unlike the other guardians, was not captured by Cynder, and spent his time before the events of the game in hiding until Spyro found him. Upon his return to the Dragon Temple, he teaches Spyro the art of Fire Breath.
After Spyro frees Terrador at Munition's Forge, Cynder chases him until she is stopped by Ignitus, who is then captured. After a final discussion with the remaining guardians, Spyro ventured to her lair and rescued him; however, Cynder escaped with the last of the powered crystals, thus triggering the final confrontation in Convexity. He's voiced by Gary Oldman in both games.
[edit] Sparx
In this continuity, Sparx is Spyro's foster brother. With Spyro having a separate health bar, Sparx serves primarily as a travelling companion. In this continuity, Sparx's role has been reduced to serving as the series' comic relief, often giving out humourous dialogue and sarcastic remarks. Spyro often serves as the subject of Sparx's jokes, of which Spyro often retaliates. Despite this, he is still willing to help Spyro no matter what happens. Further proof of his loyalty to Spyro can be seen in The Eternal Night, where he distracts several enemies to protect Spyro after he falls unconscious in the middle of a forest. He also has an extreme distrust for Cynder and is not hesitant to admit it. He's voiced by David Spade in A New Beginning, Billy West in The Eternal Night, and Wayne Brady in Dawn of the Dragon.
[edit] Spyro the Dragon
The main protagonist, Spyro is the purple dragon that prophecies say will direct the fate of his era. In this continuity, Spyro is young and compassionate for others and he is always willing to help them no matter what happens. Spyro doesn't ask for rewards and is just happy to be a big help to those in danger. He even saves Cynder from being trapped inside the Dark Master's portal when it started sucking in the surrounding environment after her defeat. After saving Cynder, Spyro seems to have developed feelings for the black dragon, driving him throughout most of his trials in The Eternal Night. At one point in the series, he temporarily becomes a Dark Dragon after falling under the Dark Master's influence, though he is saved by Cynder. He's voiced by Elijah Wood in both games.
[edit] Terrador
A battle-scarred warrior, and a master of Earth. Terrador is the most militant guardian. Dedicated and focused on practical art of battle, he is straight forward and agenda-less. He judges everyone, Spyro included, not by looks or color, or species but how well they fight. He respects Spyro as a fellow warrior. There is an elegant - if brutal - simplicity in philosophy and speech. He's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson in both games.
[edit] The Chronicler
The Chronicler is the new dragon elder in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. He is over 1000 years old and his power is to move objects with his mind. He also knows the past, present, and bits of the future of every dragon ever born. He helps Spyro reawaken his powers through a series of dreams and visions. He is grayish and silvery also wears a dark gray robe with scrolls out his back pockets. He looks like a 'Dragon-Wizard'. He's voiced by Martin Jarvis.
[edit] Volteer
Volteer is a yellow dragon of electricity, he is very smart and static, the first dragon rescued from Cynder's forces; He teaches Spyro the art of Electricity Breath. He's voiced by Corey Burton in both games.
[edit] Hunter of Avalar
"Hunter of Avalar" is a figure similar to Hunter (who first appeared in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!), who appears at the end of The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. He is speculated to be the same character. More commonly known as "Hunter of Avalar", he is just like in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, a cheetah. However, in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, he appears to be a bowman who has been captured on the pirate's ship. He is only seen at the end when Spyro is frozen in time with Sparx and Cynder, but he had written a letter to Spyro earlier whilst on the ship, explaining that he knew about Spyro's powers and hoped they would someday meet.
[edit] Side characters
[edit] Flash and Nina
Flash and Nina are the biological parents of Sparx but adopted parents of Spyro. They found Spyro's egg which hatched the same day as Sparx's egg, since then they have raised Spyro as their son. Their appearance is short in A New Beginning and they are not seen nor mentioned in The Eternal Night. Spyro's biological parent's have yet to have been revealed. Flash is voiced by Jeff Bennett and Nina is voiced by Vanessa Marshall.
[edit] Kane
Kane is an Atlawa and a resident of Tall Plains. For most of the plight through that stage in A New Beginning, he appears as a loner and wanted to save his people alone. After several scenarios in the stage - including being saved from falling from a waterfall - Kane then understands the value of teamwork and became grateful for Spyro's input after the defeat of the Stone Sentinel. He's voiced by Phil LaMarr.
[edit] Exhumor
Exhumor is Mole-Yair's brother, though in comparison he generally acts more hostile to strangers. His role in A New Beginning is also smaller than Mole-Yair's, though his role as a guiding figure among the release of the captured Manwersmalls is still very similar. He's voiced by Corey Burton.
[edit] Mole-Yair
Mole-Yair is the leader of the Manwersmalls, a rodent-like race that takes refuge around Munitions Forge. In A New Beginning, almost all the Manwersmalls were captured and were forced to do labor work for Cynder and her minions. He is mainly seen as a guiding figure, instructing Spyro to save them as well as his brother Exhumor in exchange for information on Terrador's location. He, like Exhumor, is distinguished with a strong French accent. Mole-Yair returns in The Eternal Night as a captive of the pirate ship. He gives Spyro a message from someone named Hunter of Avalar. He and the Manwersmalls are later freed by Spyro and Sparx as they try to escape from the burning ship. He's voiced by Jeff Bennett in both games.
[edit] Antagonists
[edit] The Dark Master, Malefor
The main villain of the The Legend of Spyro series who is officially known as the Dark Master. In The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, his forces raided the Dragon Temple and stole Cynder's egg, as well as forcing all of the Dragon Guardians to flee and Ignitus to save Spyro's egg. Spyro defeated Cynder and returned her to her original form, but not before she collected enough energy to free the Dark Master.
According to The Chronicler in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, the Dark Master was the first purple dragon ever to be born. He was a gifted dragon, quickly learning all of the breaths despite not being a dragon of those types. However, he became corrupted by his own seemingly limitless power and was sealed away. It is said that he can corrupt the minds of even the strongest dragons, which can be seen in both Cynder and Spyro's cases. According to the next game sequel The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Spyro will finally face him in battle for the first time. According to the official website, his real name is Malefor, which also explains the true name of the Well of Souls; The Mountain of Malefor.
Not many people know he is called Malefor.
[edit] Gaul
Also known as the Ape King. Antagonist in the The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night video game. He's planning to resurrect the Dark Master aka Malefor, so the Apes can get revenge on the dragon race. He is the one who led the raid on the Dragon Temple and stole Cynder's egg. He is killed by Spyro after Spyro becomes infused with Malefor's powers. He's voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson.
[edit] Skavengers
In The Eternal Night, Spyro and Sparx run into a group of dog/ape-like pirates that later capture them when they destroy one of their "attractions" and force Spyro to fight in their arena. Their leader is Skabb, who has two talking parrots named Scratch and Sniff that speak for him since he is too unintelligent to speak for himself. The pirates also took the Manwersmalls, Hunter of Avalar and Cynder prisoner aboard their nut sack ship. Spyro defeats Skabb and escapes the pirates' ships. Sparx comically punches Sniff knocking him out cold. Scratch is voiced by Jeff Bennett and Sniff, who is a referance to Mr. T, is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson
