Flight

**Flight** is one of Spyro's abilities in *The Legend of Spyro* series. Being a dragon, he is able to fly freely using his wings, but it has some limitations throughout the trilogy.

## Usage

### *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning and The Eternal Night*

After teaching Spyro the art of Fire, Ignitus taught Spyro how to fly. Spyro, afterwards, flew his way to Dante's Freezer in the level, First Flight and later flew through the eruption of Boyzitbig on Munitions Forge to get away from Cynder.

### *The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon*

With their upgraded wingspan, Spyro and Cynder are able to fly at any time. However, their flight is restrictive as they still require updrafts to carry them to higher altitudes and air downdrafts in certain areas of the levels can easily force them down to the ground.

## Trivia

* Although the flight mechanic in *Dawn of the Dragon* lets you fly at anytime, it has a height limit that restricts you to only letting you fly inches or a few feet above the ground. This is because Sierra Entertainment didn't want to turn Spyro into an airplane shooter and the explorations of flight with Étranges Libellules didn't capture the sensation of flying. So they went with the suitable approach of flying through trees rather than flying over them.

On one of our visits to Étranges Libellules earlier in the project, we explored dozens of different games that had flying and all felt that, though many of them allowed the player to fly way up into the air, they fell way short of capturing the sensation of flying. So that became the new approach. We were finding that flying through trees felt better than flying over them. So rest assured that, despite the limitations, it feels amazing. It's truly beautiful."*. *Q&A with Sierra (#2)*, Michael Graham. 2008. *Sierra Community Forums (closed down)*.
Dante's Freezer

*“Dante's Freezer is a desolate arctic expanse that's littered with the machinery of war...soldiers and weapons frozen forever in the posture of destruction. You must find Volteer before he's lost forever.”*
    —Ignitus
**Dante's Freezer** is a large arctic island located an unknown distance away from the Dragon Temple. It is large continent covered in ice and snow surrounded by an enormous fortress. It is unknown if this fortress was built by the Dragons, by the Trolls or by the Apes, but it seems that it has fallen into the hands of the Apes. This is where Cynder imprisoned Volteer to drain his powers. The island is ruled by the Ice King.

## Inhabitants

* Trolls (Undead)
* Ogres (Undead)
* Yaks (Undead)
* Ice Crows
* Ice Snoats

## Story

### History

The Ice Guardian Cyril had watched over Dante's Freezer for an unknown period of time, fighting off the forces of the Dark Master.

### *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning*

Ignitus sent Spyro to Dante's Freezer to free Volteer from Cynder's imprisonment. During their trek through the island, Spyro gained the elemental power of Electricity. The ruler of the island is the Ice King, but he was killed by Spyro in order to save Volteer.

## Trivia

* It is possible that Dante's Freezer was named after Dante's Inferno, which is known to be Hell; more specifically, the Ninth Circle of Hell, which is depicted as a frozen wasteland.
* In the Nintendo DS version, Crash Bandicoot can be found in an area of Dante's Freezer being roasted over a campfire.

Dark Cynder

*“Why won't you fight back?!”*
    —Dark Cynder

**Dark Cynder** is the dark counterpart of Cynder in *Dawn of the Dragon*.

## Personality

Apart from her loyalty to Malefor, Dark Cynder was shown to be ruthless, as she attacked Spyro mercilessly when he refused to fight back. In spite of her complete servitude to her master, deep in her heart, she still held on to her love for Spyro.

## Appearance

Dark Cynder shares the same character design as her regular form in *Dawn of the Dragon*. Her eyes are constantly glowing white, which signifies Malefor's darkness that's controlling her. Her dark color scheme makes her look similar to Dark Spyro, but is black and grey instead, while being surrounded by a dark aura.

## Story

During Spyro and Cynder's confrontation with Malefor, he unlocked the darkness within Cynder when she became uncertain of her past actions brought up by the evil dragon. This transformed her into her dark form and brought Cynder back under The Dark Master's control. As Malefor taunted Spyro, Dark Cynder relentlessly attacked her former friend, who refused to fight back. She eventually cornered Spyro and demanded to know why he wouldn't fight back, to which he replied that losing her had left him nothing to fight for. Upon hearing Spyro's feelings for her, Dark Cynder ceased her attack and was able to return to her normal form with the help of her own love for Spyro.

## Trivia

* None of Dark Cynder's abilities are known, but she might have the same powers of Dark Spyro's or posessing her former dark abilities. However, it seems from hiting Spyro's wing, she has a form of nuclear hit which it produces purple energy once done.

Grove Underground

The **Grove Underground** is an area within the Ancient Grove where Spyro first battles his way through hordes of Skavengers. In the depths of the Grove is a cove where Arborick resides.

## Story

After recovering his Ice abilities, Spyro and Sparx encounter a group of enemies called Skavengers. They both eventually reach the area where the tree from Spyro's dream resides, only to discover an aggressive tree sentinel named Arborick. After defeating the creature, Spyro is confronted by a group of Skavengers lead by their captain, Skabb. Skabb's parrots, Scratch and Sniff, reveal that they intended to capture Arborick as the star attraction for their tournament, but since Spyro killed the tree sentinel, they decided to replace Arborick with the young dragon. The Skavengers proceeded to knock Spyro unconscious and take him and Sparx aboard the flying ship of Fellmuth Arena.

Malefor's Army

**Malefor's Army** consists of an alliance of several races, with the Apes being the first race to be loyal to Malefor.

## Races

### Apes

After he was exiled, Malefor created an army of Apes and taught them how to harness the dragons' lifeforce, the Spirit Gems. However, it was later revealed that the Apes weren't truly loyal to Malefor since they only served him for their greed and thirst for power. They were later punished by their master, who turned them into Shadow Apes.

* Gaul
* Assassin

### Corrupted Souls

The race of this dark alliance included the corrupted spirits of the deceased who were freed from the Well of Souls during the Night of Eternal Darkness.

* Ghouls
* Mounted Ghouls
* Spector Ghouls

### Grublins

In The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, during the three years Spyro and Cynder were trapped in crystal, Malefor had created a new army of creatures from the earth called Grublins. They serve as soldiers for Malefor's dark forces, and are his replacements for the Apes.

### Golems

The Golems are the ancient embodiments of destruction Malefor summoned to bring about the Great Cleansing, as he claimed that it was the duty of the Purple Dragon to destroy the world by resurrecting the Destroyer and the Golems of the Deep.

Malefor's Lair

**Malefor's Lair** is the tower that lies beyond the Floating Islands as the central building of Malefor's fortress, in *Dawn of the Dragon*. It is located high on a platform beyond the Islands that are leviated by the powerful updraft emitting from a volcano below. Spyro and Cynder go there together to confront Malefor for the final battle to save the Dragon Realms.

## Story

After finding safety in Twilight Falls, Hunter explained to Spyro and Cynder about Malefor's return. Shortly after their disappearance, Malefor immediately attacked the Dragon City of Warfang and reclaimed the throne at the city's temple. With dark magic, he suspended the structure and several surrounding architecture above the land as a symbol of his dominance. Malefor's Lair was later destroyed when the Destroyer finished completing its journey right as Spyro and Cynder were battling Malefor, splitting the world apart and also breaking apart the temple slowly into pieces.

Hermit

*“Your appearance has changed, but not your eyes: your eyes give everything away. You are the black dragon... Cynder; the Terror of The Skies... the Dark Master's Puppet.”*
    —The Hermit
The **Hermit** is an old bluish cheetah who lives at the top of a waterfall on the other side of the Valley of Avalar, making his only appearance in *The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon*.

## Description

The Hermit is a tall, ancient, bluish colored cheetah with a long staff that seems to have what appears to be a magical crystal mounted on top. He appears to be very wise, yet disturbingly deranged at the same time. His disturbing warnings are only emphasized by his raspy cackling voice.

## Story

The Hermit was run into by Spyro, Cynder and Sparx, who came to his cave to get a key to accomplish a rescue mission for Prowlus and Meadow. After defeating a small horde of ghoul like creatures, the Hermit emerged and recognized Cynder as the black dragon who was controlled by Malefor, telling her that the creatures that she helped kill were actually what remained of the Apes of Malefor's army. The Hermit then told Spyro and Cynder that the Apes only served Malefor for their own greed and thirst for power than any true loyalty to him, and that Malefor repaid them by turning the Apes into skeletons, dooming them to remain in the darkness. The old Hermit then departed cackling insanely after warning Cynder of a fate she may very well suffer for being in service to Malefor, and that the Dark Master would find her for betraying him. This prompted Cynder to feel extremely upset about this, and both she and Spyro walk away from the Hermit, not wanting to hear anymore of his words.

Fortunately, Spyro and Cynder's mission didn't go in vain, as Sparx managed to swipe the key from the Hermit without him knowing, allowing the three to continue on their mission to help Meadow get back to the Cheetah Village.

Afterwards, the Hermit can also be seen sitting next to an armor chest in his hut after talking with him.

## Trivia

* The Hermit seems to know a lot about Malefor, though it is possible that considering that as he is extremely old, he may have known Malefor when the Dark Master was young.

This Broken Soul

***This Broken Soul*** is a song at the end of *The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night*, sung during the credits. It was composed by Rebecca Kneubuhl and Gabriel Mann, and sung by Rebecca Kneubuhl herself.

## Meaning

The song has a sad, peaceful, and beautiful atmosphere. It is meant to represent Spyro's relationship with Ignitus.

An instrumental version of this song is played in *The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon*, while Ignitus escorts Spyro and Cynder through the Belt of Fire and into the Burned Lands. This song may also describe Spyro's desperate moments when he had to seal Cynder, Sparx, and himself in a Time Fury Crystal in the Well of Souls to save their lives.

## Popularity

The song is popular on YouTube. It has spawned many videos, most of them featuring Spyro and Cynder, but it has also found its way in to other themed videos.

## Lyrics

Oh Holy land
Come ancient spirit
Take up my hand
And guide me

Pull me to shore
Rivers are rising
Look in this heart
And find me

I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here
To remind me

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Let the water flow right through this broken soul

I fought by your side
Ashes still burning
I proved my worth
So tell me why

I've lost my way
Your voice is silent
I need you here
To remind me

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Tell me that you can forgive
Bring me peace that I may live

Show me now
How to find my home
All I am
Surrender

Oh sweet rest
Find me at my home
Stay with me
Forever

Let the water flow right through this broken soul

## Trivia

* The "Holy Land" and "Ancient Spirit" mentioned in the lyrics may be referring to the series' equivalent of Heaven and God respectively.
* The first few seconds of the song play at the cutscene at the end of Celestial Caves, before being quickly replaced by the level's theme again. Oddly, it plays in a part completed unrelated to the dragon elders, Ignitus included, who would be mentioned sometime later in the scene.

Hero Orcs

**Hero Orcs** are one of the strongest type of Grublins in *The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon*. Their rank is that of the Ape Commanders from Spyro's previous two adventures.

According to Grublin general rank and file units, Grublins that have survived enough battles earn the rank of "Hero", which supposedly grant them an increase in size and/or strength.

## Story

A Hero Orc was the leader of a group of Grublins that discovered Spyro and Cynder within the time crystal in the Well of Souls ruins and freed them from their three-year sleep. After shackling them together with the green snake necklaces, the Hero Orc and the Grublins dragged the two unconscious dragons away to the Catacombs to be sacrificed to the Golem. It appeared again near the platform Spyro and Cynder were chained to, noticing that the two dragons have awakened too soon before the Golem arrived, and commanded the lesser Grublins to stop them before they could escape.

At the Dam, a Hero Orc (supposedly the same one from before) engaged both Spyro and Cynder in battle while flanked by two Orc Archers to stop them from destroying the dam. Before their fight, the Hero Orc urged the two dragons to surrender to grant them a quick death. In the end, it was ultimately defeated.

Other Hero Orcs are later battled through the rest of the game.

## Tactics

Hero Orcs are one of the game's toughest enemies, maybe even the longest to defeat. Their shields need to be destroyed and their spiked clubs have to be disarmed in order to attack them at full power. The swinging blows from their clubs are devastating, and they need to be disarmed from their weapons in order for them to be temporarily defenseless.

Cynder's primary wind breath and Spyro's primary electricity breath are both just as effective against Hero Orc's as each other as both attacks leave them dissarmed. However Cynder's wind breath only slows down the Hero Orcs where as Spyro's electricity breath leaves the enemy stunned for as long as the player is attacking the enemy.

Dark Crystals

*“It isn't natural! That crystal radiates with dark magic, destroy it quickly!”*
    —Hunter
**Dark Crystals** are sinister crystal clusters in *The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon*. Unlike any other type of crystal, dark crystals steal breath power from Spyro and Cynder when they come close enough to them. They serve as the power sources for the Golem, the Destroyer, and apparently the Golems of the Deep. In a few levels, destroying these crystals is a mandatory action.

On the Floating Islands on two occasions, Spyro and Cynder must destroy dark crystals that are growing on the gate torches in order to set them aflame.

## Trivia

* When standing near them, strange eerie voices can be heard emanating from the dark crystals. This could be a product of the dark magic or possibly evil spirits.

Electric King

The **Electric King** is the penultimate boss in *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning*, and is fought in the Concurrent Skies before Spyro fought Cynder. He is confronted before entering Cynder's tower, mostly likely the guardian. His abilities include launching powerful lightning bolts. When he stomps, he can shoot powerful electrical crystals from his feet, similar to how the Ice King attacks. The Electric King can also project a force field around his body like the Ice King does. He can launch powerful thunder bolts from his mighty sword.

Manweersmalls

**Manweersmalls** are the mole-like natives of Munitions Forge who live underground. Their leader is Mole-Yair.

## Appearance

Manweersmalls are small, grey and have sharp claws on both hands and legs. They have large snouts and they can dig very well, however it is possible that they use tools like shovels for digging also. Manweersmalls have good hearing and a sharp sense of smell, but they can't see very well so they wear iron hats with candles on the top for a better vision.

Mole-Yair and Exhumor are, so far, the only Manweersmalls to have French accents.

## Lifestyle

Manweersmalls spend most of their time underground but they will occasionally come out on the surface. This lifestyle abruptly ended when Cynder and her Ape army took over Munitions Forge, enslaving most of the Manweersmall populace and forcing them to forge more army weapons. They mined for the Apes until Spyro freed them, and when Cynder's rule over the island ended, their lifestyle was restored.

## Story

### *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning*

Spyro's first encounter with the Manweersmalls was within Munitions Forge. There he met Mole-Yair who gave him the task to free the other Manweersmalls in exchange for the location of Exhumor, Mole-Yair's brother, who knew where Terrador was held. The Manweersmalls returned to their underground home after they were freed.

### *The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night*

Mole-Yair and a small group of his folk were captured by the Skavengers, the same group that captured Spyro, Sparx, and a reformed Cynder. Since they weren't made for fighting, the enslaved Manweersmalls were forced to serve grog to their captors. After the ship was attacked by Gaul's Ape army, Spyro freed Mole-Yair and his comrades who then fled the burning ship back to their homeland.

Guardians

## Dragon Guardians

The **Guardians** are dragons in *The Legend of Spyro* series who are responsible for watching over the Dragon Eggs, training young dragons in the ancient ways, and presumably other things as well. There is one Dragon Guardian for each element, but four remain after many other dragon guardians were lost during the war against Malefor's forces.

## History

In dragon culture, the Guardians are the warrior monks, raising and training selected young dragons to become their students, scholars and warriors. They are the keepers of elemental dragon magic and wisdom of their kind. During the war between the Dark Armies, many Guardians lost their lives, leaving only four remaining: Ignitus, Terrador, Cyril, and Volteer.

## List of Guardians

### Guardian of Fire

Ignitus is the master of Fire, and the leader of the dragon guardians. He can do, or used to do, very powerful fire attacks, but, as it is shown in *A New Beginning*, doing a fury attack is difficult for him and it takes a lot more time for him to recover since he has grown older. Ignitus is also Spyro's father figure and mentor in *The Legend of Spyro* series.

### Guardian of Ice

Cyril is the master of Ice. He is very arrogant and proud, and he and Volteer argue a lot and it's usually up to Ignitus to stop them.

### Guardian of Earth

Terrador is the master of Earth. He is second-in-command, the most militant and most calm of the of the dragon guardians. Within the range of Attack Power, Terrador seems to be the strongest.

### Guardian of Electricity

Volteer is the master of Electricity. He talks a lot about nothing, usually using big words while doing so, making him seem very enegetic for his age. He and Cyril argue a lot and its usually up to Ignitus to stop them.

## Trivia

* In *Dawn of the Dragon*, due to the character designs and the rushed production of the game, few of the Guardians can be seen smiling almost constantly, even in grim situations.
* According to Jared Pullen, in response to Cynder's return to the Dragon Temple, the four remaining Guardians were intended to be in a debate over Cynder's stay at the Temple. Cyril was the most vocal against the decision, and Ignitus strongly supported Cynder's re-inclusion, as he felt he had failed Cynder on levels the other Guardians could not imagine. His guilt, coupled with his understanding of failure prompted him to reach out to Cynder in this way. Terrador seconded the notion, trusting in Ignitus's judgement and out of respect for his close ally. Volteer endlessly debated the pros and cons of Cynder's return until Cyril finally grew tired of all the conjecture and relented!

Dragon Soldiers

The **Dragon Soldiers** are dragons that took part in the battle against Malefor's army of Grublins. In *The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon*, these dragons aided the citizens of Warfang during the seige and later accompanied the war party in their fight to stop the Destroyer.

It is unknown which of the four elements (Fire, Ice, Earth, and Electricity) they possess, but they can be seen numerous times in cutscenes and gameplay, assisting the inhabitants of Dragon City in battle against the Grublin army and the Golem.

## Trivia

* The Dragon Soldiers are most likely other dragons who have survived the battle over the islands when Cynder was under Malefor's control and had gone into hiding until the events around *Dawn of the Dragon*.
* In gameplay, while Spyro and Cynder were aiding the Moles at the Ramparts, a Dragon Soldier was seen holding a seized Wyvern and slamming it against the side of the ramparts to finish it off.
* All Dragon Soldiers share the same character model.

**Bosses**
Dark Armies

The **Dark Armies** consists of an alliance of several races, with the Apes being the most prominent. This fraction is loyal to the Dark Master Malefor and has been at war with the Dragon race for many years.

After he was exiled, Malefor formed an army of Apes and taught them how to harness the dragons' lifeforce, the Spirit Gems. However, it was later revealed in *Dawn of the Dragon* that the Apes weren't truly loyal to Malefor since they only served him for their own greed and thirst for power. They were later punished by their master, who turned them into Shadow Apes.

Convexity

*“Convexity acts as an airlock between our world and the Dark Realms beyond. You must stop Cynder before she inserts the final crystal and activates the portal, freeing the Dark Master.”*
    —Ignitus
**Convexity** is an eerie dimension that lies between the Dragon Realms and the dark worlds beyond, acting as an entryway. It is made of an endless iridiscent void, with groups of floating platforms to jump from one to the other along with frightening, unnatural but non-hostile creatures. It is also where the Dark Master's prison is kept.

## Story

### *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning*

After gathering all four of the needed crystals, Cynder finally completed her task in freeing Malefor. As the portal to Malefor's prison opened, Spyro came to stop Cynder and battled her in a final showdown. Hearing the voice of Ignitus echo in his head, Spyro gained the energy to perform a powerful fury attack, which incapacitated Cynder and freed her from Malefor's control. Cynder returned to her true form, that of a small dragon the same size as Spyro. The portal to Malefor's prison began to open, pulling everything, including Cynder, towards it. Spyro refused to leave Cynder behind, and he and Sparx escaped from Convexity with the unconscious Cynder in tow.

### *The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night*

Convexity appeared again in the prologue of *The Eternal Night*, in the form of Spyro's nightmare. He recalls his battle with Cynder at Convexity's altar and saved her from the portal's implosion. As he was fleeing, Spyro could hear Malefor's voice calling his name. In the same scene, Malefor's essence entered the Well of Souls, from which Malefor later escaped off-screen at the end of the game.

## Trivia

* A strange, disembodied voice can be heard in this level as Spyro navigates through Convexity, occasionally calling Spyro's name amidst the background ambience. This voice is possibly the Dark Master Malefor's, as the portal that imprisoned him was nearby when the level/battle took place.
* The altar and the level area of Convexity resembles that of a Quasar, such as many celestial bodies are seen surrounding the alter which sucks everything in it, similar to the Black Hole, and shooting out two beams or colums of some powerful energy (ie:Aether and Star Excess Energy). However, even though similar, the only difference is no disks that make up a galaxy and there are living creatures populating it.

Armor

**Armor** are collectible items in *Dawn of the Dragon*. They are found in silver chests hidden throughout the game. In order to open the chests, you need both Spyro and Cynder to open them. Equipping the armor will improve both dragon's breath attacks and skills, and can also be worn on the characters. Both dragons can collect nine pieces each. The armor are also quite hard to find sometimes and require specific searching to find them.

Three different kinds of armor are found throughout *Dawn of the Dragon*:

* Bracers
* Tail Armor
* Helmets

Certain armor does certain things. For example, one of the tail armor pieces for Cynder will wound enemies that attack her.

Flash

*“All gifts come with a price.”*
    —Flash
**Flash** is a male, blue dragonfly in *The Legend of Spyro* series who is Spyro's adoptive father and Sparx's biological father. He and his wife Nina, found Spyro's egg on the Silver River of the Swamp.

## Story

### *A New Beginning*

Flash and Nina both discovered Spyro's egg when it came to rest in the Swamp and gathered around it, wondering what kind of creature could be inside. Shortly afterwards, Spyro hatched from that very egg, and although Flash and Nina were frightened at first, they were amazed by the baby dragon. Knowing the swamp to be a very dangerous place, they eventually adopted Spyro into their family, and raised him alongside their son, Sparx, who was born on the same day as him.

Twelve years later, after Spyro and Sparx escaped from their encounter with Apes, they told Flash and Nina about the encounter and Spyro's sudden fire breath, and the two dragonflies were prompted to explain to Spyro the truth about what he really is and where he came from. Flash and Nina later followed after Spyro in time to see him off when he decided to find out where he came from, with Flash encouraging Spyro to keep his head up and use his newfound Fire breath wisely as all gifts come with a price.

### *The Eternal Night*

Flash and Nina made a cameo in one of the pages of Spyro's book that was written by the Chronicler, happily watching a young Sparx.

## Trivia

* Flash and Nina do not appear in Dawn of the Dragon, cameo or otherwise.

Pirate Fleet

The **Pirate Fleet** is made up of many flying ships; how many is unknown, the fleet is up of flying ships, some bigger than others, by the amount of gold. Here, Spyro navigates his way through the Fleet to reach Skabb, battling Skavengers who stand in his way to stop him from reaching their captain.

Frog Weeds

**Frog Weeds** are the first enemy Spyro faces in *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning* when one of them swallowed Sparx. They are plants with some frog-like features, and a pitcher plant mouth that calls to mind a frog's mouth. They are native to the Swamp area.

Frog Weeds can be destroyed easily, either by bashing them or flaming them to oblivion. They usually come in groups, but occasionally only one Frog Weed makes an appearance in battle. They generally attack by lashing their tongues at you.

Boyzitbig

**Boyzitbig** is an unstable volcano located on Munitions Forge, which was turned into an armory and mining camp for Cynder's forces in *The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning*.

In the center of the volcano, Terrador was held prisoner by Cynder to drain his elemental energy into a crystal. Eventually Spyro rescued him after defeating Cynder's forces, freeing the Manweersmalls, and destroying the Conductor's train, Steam. As Boyzitbig began to erupt, Cynder appeared from a nearby lava pool and snagged the crystal charged with Terrador's energy before setting her sights on Spyro. Flying for his life, Spyro flew through the forge and out of the volcano. Ignitus intervened to save Spyro from Cynder, getting captured in the process.

## Trivia

* Its name is a play on the phrase, "Boy is it big".

**Bosses**
Magma Worms

**Magma Worms** are enemy creatures native to Munitions Forge. They have adapted to hot temperatures and can even swim in lava. Due to this, they are resistant against Spyro's flame breath. They attack by whipping their tails at Spyro and by shooting magma at him. Even though the Magma Worms are lavaproof, they are very weak against Ice and Earth.

Their poisonous relatives, the Grove Worms, appear only in the Ancient Grove.

Mason

*“Never have I seen such a thing. It has the mark of evil...”*
    —Mason
**Mason** is a citizen of Warfang whom Ignitus asked to inspect the snake chains that tethered Spyro and Cynder together. The mole noted that he had never seen anything like the chains, but knows that it had the mark of evil as it was crafted by Malefor himself.

The Legend of Spyro Wikia

After being saved from certain death by an elder dragon, Spyro's egg floated down a river to where he was found by a family of dragonflies. Raised as one of their own, Spyro sets out to discover the truth behind his origins. Along with his 'brother' Sparx, Spyro will need to save the world he comes from from an evil force bent on destroying it.

Shattered Vale

*“Terrador, make haste to the Shattered Vale and warn the inhabitants of that region that darkness is spreading in Malefor.”*
    —Ignitus, *The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night*
The **Shattered Vale** is a location somewhere within the Dragon Realms. It was only mentioned in *The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night*.

Although never properly seen, the Shattered Vale is implied to be a region that is within a considerable proximity to the Mountain of Malefor. The population is unknown, but it must be rather sizeable to be deemed important enough for Ignitus to send one of his fellow Guardians, Terrador, there to warn the inhabitants of the Night of Eternal Darkness.

## Story

After the raid on the Dragon Temple at the beginning of *The Eternal Night*, the Guardians came to realize the imminence of the Night of Eternal Darkness. Ignitus sent Terrador to the Shattered Vale to warn its inhabitants of the forthcoming danger. Due to the close proximity of the region to the Well of Souls, the population was most likely evacuated from the area due to Terrador's warning.

## Trivia

* In the Gameboy Advance version of *The Eternal Night*, Doxantha may serve a similar role to the Shattered Vale, since it is mentioned that the other Guardians are there.
* The above quote not only implies the close proximity of the Shattered Vale to the Well of Souls, it also implies that the region the latter is located in is called "Malefor," named after the eponymous Dragon and mountain.
