Toasty

Toasty is the boss of the Artisans Homeworld and is the first boss of Spyro the Dragon. He is found in Toasty realm with several Shepherds and Sleeping Dogs guarding the path to him. Toasty appears to be a scythe-wielding, pumpkin-headed giant scarecrow, but was ultimately revealed to be nothing more than a singed sheep on stilts.
==Appearance==
===Original Design (1998)===
In the first two areas of Toasty's boss fight, his outfit consists of a big red coat, a big red hat, an orange Jack-o-lantern for his head, a carrot on for his nose, straw hands, a scythe to attack Spyro with, and wooden feet with straw toes. In the last area he is merely an angry sheep standing on stilts.
===Reignited Design (2018)===
In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Toasty is taller with a more hunched stature and his coat is more worn-out and it covers his 'feet' (however they could still be seen if one looks closely). He has a furry hood on his coat. His hands have more skeletal fingers. His Jack-o-lantern is smaller and has a more wicked smile, with a bell hanging beneath it. His true sheep form has manic, red eyes and yellow irises, blackened horns, singed wool and wears a bell around his neck.
== Personality ==
Toasty is described by Nevin as one of Gnasty Gnorc's most devious henchmen, having many tricks up his sleeve. When confronted, he shows a cautious side when he hides behind his pack of sleeping dogs and would only attack Spyro as a last resort. In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, the singed sheep bears a manic, angry expression that sets him apart from his more docile sheep brethern.
==Story==
After Gnasty Gnorc froze the dragons in crystal, he put one of his most cunning minions to be in charge of the Artisans realm: Toasty. Toasty took over Nevin's castle domain and was protected by his Shepherd minions and their Sleeping Dogs. Spyro eventually came to the castle, freed Nevin, fought Toasty and his Sleeping Dogs, and defeated Toasty himself, not before realizing that Toasty was just a simple Sheep.
==Confronting Toasty==
In order to Spyro defeat the Toasty, Spyro must first defeat his Sleeping Dogs (they took two hits; one to char them, and a second to finish them off), and then flame him. He took three hits. Once he was defeated, Toasty released several Gems. Toasty only attacked when his Sleeping Dogs were gone. If they were still alive, he simply ran around the chamber in his attempt to get away from Spyro if he got too close (he was much faster in the third round).
For an easier time against the Toasty's sheep form, Spyro could leave his Sleeping Dogs alone and chase him to get close enough to flame him; the doors to the next rooms opened whether his Sleeping Dogs were alive or not. Though, to achieve 100% completion in this realm, the Sleeping Dogs needed to be defeated in order to retrieve their Gems.
==Glitches==
*When Spyro is in the room with the two Sleeping Dogs, he must flame them once. After that, when they jump above Spyro, Spyro must jump between them and Spyro will be launched in the air (Spyro must not have Sparx following him).
*If Spyro ran back over the line where the door sank into the ground while a Sleeping Dog was preparing to jump but before it did jump, the Sleeping Dog will jump so high that it will hit the top of the level and disappear.

==Trivia==
*Coincidentally, a Protesting Sheep from the early Spyro commercials was nicknamed "Toasty" by the commercial directors, leading many to believe that both the sheep and the boss might be the same character.
**Although some Fans believed that this actually have been a direct reference to the Toasty! pun from Mortal Kombat.
*If one listened carefully after Toasty's true form was revealed, player could hear a cow bell jingling whenever Toasty moved his head while in idle, which revealed that Toasty wore a bell around his neck. In the original game, this bell could not be seen, but in Spyro Reignited Trilogy it was included.
*It could be seen as ironic that Toasty, a sheep, was the one who controlled the Shepherds, whose job it is naturally to control the sheep.
*In the original game, it was also possible (yet rare) for the sheep to peer through Toasty's cloak, though obviously that must happen within the first two areas to see that and also that happened when Spyro stood still for a long period of time.
*Ironically, Toasty's name was what happened after Spyro defeated him by flaming him.
*Toasty is one of the game's two bosses whose portal is hidden within a dragon head, the other one of the two being Gnasty Gnorc.
**Toasty is also one of the game's two bosses whose portal can not be access until the previous four main level portals of the world (not counting Flight Stages) are completed, while other bosses' portals can be access at all times, the other being Gnasty Gnorc.
*Toasty's realm shares its music with the hubworld for Gnorc Gnexus.
