History Fridge / SpyroTheDragon

** The below FridgeLogic with Breezebuilders versus Land Blubbers. They're at war. You're fighting from both POVs, on both sides, to achieve your goals in each home world.

***** [[http://slidespin.tv/spyro-2-slightly-rushed-development-factoids-and-tidbits-part-1/ A look into the beta version of Spyro 2]] shows that every world was meant to be linked with another. (The beta names vs the names in the [[InJoke retail version]] are about a quarter of the way down the page.

* FridgeLogic: So, in ''Ripto's Rage/Gateway To Glimmer'', you end up in a place called Breezy Harbour where you help the nice bird men defend their realm against attacking... bloblike things. They're very grateful. A few levels later, however, you end up in a place named Zephyr... who's people were earlier the ones ''attacking'' Breeze Harbour, and now you're killing the allies of Breeze Harbour... Am I the only one who found this annoying?

* FridgeHorror: In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Sgt Byrd told Spyro that a Dragon Egg should go great with bangers and bash. No at first it just seems like it was a joke based of Byrd's British accent but until you realize that he just suggest that Spyro (A dragon) should [[{{Squick}} EAT a dragon egg.]]

* For as much buildup Dragon Shores is given in ''Ripto's Rage!'', you'd think there would be more ''dragons'' there besides Spyro. Instead, everyone else except the Gnorcs tending the park is native to Avalar. Well, you'll remember that the portal going from the Dragon Realms to Dragon Shores was redirected mid-transit to Avalar, and that Ripto destroyed the terminating portal using a blast of magic. When Spyro finally gets to Dragon Shores, the only portal in operation is the one connecting back to Avalar, which had only JUST been opened. In addition, the Gnorcs running the park refuse to admit him into the park unless he finds extra orbs. Orbs that Spyro had been collecting because they were essential to getting the Professor's superportal back online. Which would logically indicate that the other portals normally linking to Dragon Shores were now [=OFFline=] after what happened at the start of the game.

This most likely disrupted all portal connections to Dragon Shores, and the Gnorcs have only just reopened the park to Avalar residents to make up for lost business.

* Ripto's name comes from Spyro's name written in katakana, as seen on the [[http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps/198754-spyro-the-dragon/images/box-10972 Japanese cover art]] (スパイロ).

!!The Legend of Spyro Trilogy
* FridgeBrilliance: Why does Malefor not care about his own fate? At first it seems that he just doesn't care but then he yells that he's 'eternal' during the final battle. Seems he thinks of himself as immortal. Now, if he was, or at least believed he was, he'd have survived the end of the world and lived into the new one. Malefor is power mad and has awesome destructive power, and a ChessMaster. Put all that together and it doesn't seem to be a stretch that it was all an EvilPlan to survive the end and be around when the world was recreated, allowing him to do whatever he wanted to (given it's Malefor, that would cress into FridgeHorror).
** Malefor tried to wipe out all the Dragon eggs from the Year Of The Dragon to prevent Spyro's birth. It's revealed later in the game he stole Cynder's egg to turn into a monster to free hime, part of his plan from the start. In the third game, it's revealed [[spoiler:it was actually ''[[NiceJobBreakingItHero Spyro]]'' who he needed to free him, not Cynder. This makes complete sense when one takes into account that it was part of his plan to kidnap a dragon to begin with. It's completely possible he intended to take the Purple Dragon from the get go, but modified his plan when it was discovered the Purple Dragon's egg wasn't at the temple.]]
** Why did Malefor need the Destroyer to destroy the world when [[spoiler:Spyro did the exact opposite on his own]]? Malefor guided the fate of ''his'' era, which ended. Spyro guides the new era. So Malefor needed an outside force in order to carry out his plan because fate laid in Spyro's hands now. Thus his efforts to convince Spyro his destiny was what Malefor wanted, [[spoiler:Spyro guided the fate of the era and if he was convinced it would happen it would.]]
** It seems strange that Malefor would lose it over [[spoiler:Cynder breaking free of his control thanks to ThePowerOfLove]], but think about it. Malefor is obcessed with power and has an never ending hunger for it. Thus why he enjoys being a perfect ChessMaster and manipulating everyone to do his bidding, it gives him power over it. In this one instance, for the first and only time in the series, something happened he had ''no control over''. Thus why such a minor thing caused him to have a short VillainousBreakdown.
* FridgeHorror: The real Cynder is pretty kind hearted while Dark Cynder is an AxeCrazy monster that has no qualms about murdering someone and the Guardians imply they were tortured while she held them captive. It's quite frightening to imagine just what Malefor's forces did to her to make her turn into that...
** Also, she's the only dragon with real metal blades while others have bone weapons. While it might be a natural trait of her type of dragon, it's also just as possible, and more likely, the Apes did it to her. And she had them ''before'' being corrupted, when she was probably very young. Think about that...
** [[spoiler: Ignitus is killed by the fire left behind by the destroyer. At first, it doesn't seem that bad...until you realize he '''''burned to death''''', what a horrible way to die!]]
* Yeah...That swamp that surrounds the temple from A New Beginning? And how near it (if not in it) Sparx and Spyro's parents live? Take a look at what area is [[spoiler: transformed into the Burned Lands]] in Dawn of the Dragon. Let that one sink in a bit. [[TearJerker Tear jerking]] shall commence.

* FridgeBrilliance: the BadExportForYou entry above, despite the implied WallBanger, forgot a delicious detail - namely, the fact the music playing in the European version of Lost Fleet is the same heard in [[spoiler: Super Bonus Round]]. If you consider the skateboarding and the submarine minigames, you might say that the aforementioned [[spoiler: Super Bonus Round]] is basically Lost Fleet turned UpToEleven, and as such the musical choice for Lost Fleet makes ''perfect'' sense, much more than the [[spoiler: Sheila's Alp]] music with the only addition of accordions.

*** These seem to be some sort of peace-keeping process, as you help the natural habitants to protect their lands from the intruders.

** During one of the early tutorials in ''Year of the Dragon'', Hunter refuses to head down a hole because he hears running water, and explains that he hates to get wet (a quirk he calls "a cat thing"). However in Aquaria Towers in ''Ripto's Rage'', and even within ''YOTD'' itself, Hunter shows up in underwater areas, and doesn't seem bothered.
