Blink

Blink, also known as Blinky, is a young mole and nephew of the Professor. He made his debut in Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy, and later appeared in Spyro: A Hero's Tail.
==Personality==
Blink is a confident young mole who is always up for a challenge. He does, however, have "fresh-air-a-phobia," a deathly fear of not being trapped underground.
==Abilities==
Being a mole, Blink has the ability to dig through dirt. He also has some gadgets created by his uncle, the Professor. His weaponry consists of Blink bombs (can carry 10 at a time) and two laser-cannons which are connected to his gloves. His goggles are able to find living objects (such as enemies or fodder for Sparx) and diggable rubble.
==Story==
===Spyro: A Hero's Tail===
Blink personally met with Spyro after being rescued from a cage in Crocovile Swamp, mentioning he'd "make a great sidekick," if it weren't for his "fresh-air-a-phobia." He helped Spyro in his quest to save the Realms from Red's rule.
===Spyro: Shadow Legacy===
Blink appeared later in Shadow Legacy after vacationing in Dragon Shores. He returned to the Forgotten Worlds, where it was soon engulfed by the Calamity, and Blink, along with the Professor, Sis, and Willard were trapped in the Shadow Realm. After being freed by Spyro, Blink volunteered to dig deeper into the depths of Moleville and came across a large cavern, only to be blasted by Red's dark magic. He later recovered from the attack, and Blink was seen celebrating Spyro's primary victory over the Sorcerer, before the mole began his preparations for the villain's next move.
==Other appearances==
===Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy===
Blink made his debut in this crossover game under the name Blinky. He is first seen in Dragon Castles, informing Spyro that he was in the jungle and saw what he thought was an orange monster. Blinky later appears in the intro to Fire Mountains, alerting Spyro and Crash of the Professor and Coco Bandicoot's capture by Nina Cortex.
===Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage===
Blinky serves practically the same role from Spyro Orange. He is first seen in Wumpa Jumple (with no indication how he got there). When Crash talks to Blinky, thinking he's one of Ripto's monsters, yells at him to go away. He later apologizes to Crash for this misunderstanding when he later appears in Dragon Castles.
==Minigames==
In A Hero's Tail, there are four mini-games for Blink; one in each of the Realms. In the mini-games you are to destroy the required amount of Dark Shards underground within 30 minutes, digging up gems and finding entrances through walls. The first time this is completed, you win a Dragon Egg; the second time Blink kindly hands over a Light Gem.
The realms where Blink's mini-game can be found are:
*Crocovile Swamp: Completely Swamped
*Coastal Remains: All Washed Up
*Frostbite Village: Snowed Under
*Dark Mine: Mined Out

==Trivia==
*The correct term for Blink's fear is "agoraphobia," which is a fear of open spaces.
*Blink's hat was originally going to be red instead of purple, as seen in early screenshots.
