## Biography

Heralding from Chateau Ripto, Ripto is a riptoc with an egotistical and irascible temperament, matched only by his hatred of dragons. Trying to make war on their race, he was intercepted by Avalar's Super Portal. Not to be deterred, he decided to set up shop and take over, declaring it "Riptonia". However, another figure, the hero known as Spyro the Dragon, was also accidentally transported to Avalar. Spyro would manage to defeat him, and since then he has become a constant arch-enemy. Despises dragons, no matter what they are. Upon his return, he could smell the "stench" of dragon, and was horrified to learn there was an entire house. When not trying to take over the world, he focuses his efforts on purging the house. Mainly Daenerys due to bringing dragons back into her world, and Smaug because he wants to use his jewels for magical purposes. However, in spite of his dragon prejudice, he can stand working with Maleficent due to "merely" being an evil magic user like himself who turns into a dragon, and Dovakhiin because he hunts down dragons.

Apparently he's some kind of dinosaur, known as a Rhynocorus Riptosaurus. Most don't see it, assuming he's some kind of anthropomorphic rhino instead(it's even in the species name). He works well with Raptor and Sharptooth and managed to pay them to be his minions for the time being. Because of his Fantastic Racism for dragons, he considers the idea that Dinosaurs Are Dragons to be offensive and was disgusted to learn of Tyrantrum for being a Dragon-type T-Rex.

A skilled wizard, whose powers are even greater while using orbs. He utilizes his Magic Staff and was rather annoyed to learn that said trope was taken since he wanted that as well. He has been feuding Rom and Ram over this, but like Axel, it's not that serious. What's more serious, however, is his fear of Lord Tirek for obvious reasons. He works with Babidi in the Guild of Magic, which may have something do to with the aforementioned height complex.

Ripto also didn't take it too well when he found out that Spyro had another arch-enemy, especially since not only is Malefor a dragon, but far more competent that Ripto could ever be, something that The Dark Master acknowledges. Ripto and Malefor only work together to try and eliminate Spyro, but there's been a lot of arguments between the two along the way.

Lately, Ripto has been seen playing poker games against fellow Insomniac villain Dr. Nefarious. They're not on good terms and tend to butt heads to see who is the better villain of the two. Crush, Gulp, and Lawrence mainly just watch from the side, viewing these games as none of their own business.
