History WMG / SpyroTheDragon

[[WMG: The Insomniac trilogy will be remastered for the {{UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 PlayStation 4}}]]

Since the {{Franchise/CrashBandicoot Crash Bandicoot}} franchise is having its [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot1996 first]] [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot2CortexStrikesBack three]] [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot3Warped installments]] remade for the aforementioned console, then why not give its sister series a similar treatment?

This also explains why, in a kingdom so large, every dragon seems to know who Spyro is, even though he probably never even ventured outside of the Artisans' realm before Gnasty's attack : of course he is famous, ''he was the only egg to hatch on that fateful year of the dragon'' !

This also explains why [[spoiler: he returns to petrify the dragons once again in the 120% ending, not to mention that Spyro himself aknowledges that Gnasty is still around somewhere : because he actually was TheUnfought. Eventually, he was defeated offscreen by Spyro in between the events of the first and second games.]]

Gnasty Gnorc snuck into Avalar, and pulled Ripto out of the lava pits. The epilogue of Spyro 3 shows Gnasty and Ripto having a meeting to discuss the "Spyro Problem". However, Ripto betrayed Gnasty , and took Gnasty's scepter for himself. He also used it to revive Crush and Gulp.

[[WMG:Gnasty Gnorc rescued Ripto from the lava between Spyro 2 and 3. Ripto than betrayed Gnasty.]]

Then again, when you consider that Gnasty is shown to be alive and well in Spyro 2's epilogue, and that Ripto himself [[UnexplainedRecovery survived a dive in a lava pool]], you have to wonder if, in the Spyro universe, [[DeathIsCheap getting killed is really that much of a problem]]...

That'd explain why none were around in the games, despite there being eggs present - they only visited to have a shag and lay their eggs, then went right back to their usual routines of terrorizing towns, kidnapping princesses, sitting on enormous hoards of treasure and being too terrifying to be allowed in polite society.

That would explain the different voice cast, change in certain characters' personalities, and how Spyro seems to be the same age he was in Spyro 1.

* And the most famous levels could get HD remakes, {{Sonic Generations}} style.

In ''SpyroYearofTheDragon'' we're shown ages hatch every twelve years, which pins Spyro and his friends from ''SpyroAHerosTail'' at at at least twelve. What if he was even older chronologically but dragons age differently from "normal" species.

This would explain why nobody but Spyro picks them up. In the [[VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon1998 first game]], all of the Dragons are frozen, meaning they won't pick it up, and neither can the Gnorcs. And in the [[VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage second]] and [[SpyroYearOfTheDragon third]] games, there are no Dragons around. No doubt they're still valuable, and can be handled in certain ways. This also explains why Moneybags doesn't pick up the gems around him. He WANTS them, so he can sell/ogle them, but can't get them without Spyro's help.

[[WMG:Spyro is [[OlderThanTheyLook not twelve]]]]

[[WMG: The reason everyone was so OutOfCharacter in a hero's tail was because of the Dark Gems.]]

*** Original poster here. I was thinking that too, the night I posted this, as Spyro 3 presents the problem of Sheila, Sgt Byrd, Bentley and Agent 9 getting gems. More likely, only Dragonflies have the magic to pick up gems. And when Spyro is down to 25% health (in the first three games at least, I haven't played EtD or aHT), Sparx is probably just hiding under Spyro's wing or something until he finds a butterfly. Sparx still gets the gems, but Spyro needs to get closer to them so that Sparx can reach them without coming out in the open.

** Dragonflies can touch the gems too.

... He tried to make off with that dragon egg. dragon law protects merchants from being harmed, but when he tried to take the egg he was reclassified as an egg thief. thus everything on his person becomes forfeit and it was okay to attack him.

* Moneybags probably started the [[TheLegendOfSpyro TLOS]] series too. Maybe even Skylanders.
