Added DiffLines:

* RapePillageAndBurn: Minus the "rape" part, Malefor has his Ape forces ravage the lands for their resources to utilise them for warfare. When he disposes of the Apes with a FateWorseThanDeath, he has his newfound army of Grublins focus on the "burn" aspect of the trope with them laying waste to everything and everyone that crosses their paths.

Added DiffLines:

* TheSociopath: Malefor is an incredibly sadistic dragon with a staggering LackOfEmpathy who uses both ally and enemy for his own agenda with no regard for their demises (or in the case of the Apes, he'll bestow them a FateWorseThanDeath.) He has millions of deaths, torture of both a physical and mental nature under his belt with his ultimate goal being to destroy the world out of a self centred delusion from being a Purple Dragon. Whilst it's mentioned that he used to be similar to Spyro at that age, any resemblance of goodness by the time the trilogy takes place has long been erased.

* KilledOffForReal: The Golem is killed when Spyro and Cynder shatter a crystal which correlates to its brain in which it causes the Golem to fall off the tower it was duelling the duo on with a resounding fatal crash.

* BritishStuffiness: Cyril is a haughty uptight dragon with a tendency for not-so-humbly bragging about how great the element of ice is; with Creator/JeffBennett giving him a British sounding voice to compliment him.

Added DiffLines:

* ItCanThink: The Golem showcases intelligence that put's it above being merely a destructive beast such as when it uses the rubble it creates from it's first attack on Warfang to fashion itself a new arm after it lost it's original one to Spyro and Cynder.
* ItsPersonal: When emerging from the flames of Warfang's battlefield, the Golem has an expression on it that shows it's still incredibly annoyed about it's past encounters with the main duo in the Catacombs before it starts to tunnel its way to Warfang.

Making lore corrections.


Malefor was touted to be the first Purple Dragon and is referred to mainly as "The Dark Master". He's the series' BigBad and is the incarnation of pure evil. According to the Chronicler, Malefor was revered as TheChosenOne by the dragons, easily mastering numerous elemental powers they willingly taught him, but was exiled when [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity his lust for power corrupted him]]. He then turned to the Apes and taught them how to use the power of the crystals "artificially", declaring war on his former allies, but his power became so great that his palace, the [[HauntedCastle Mountain of Malefor]], collapsed into itself, [[SealedEvilInACan trapping him in Convexity]]. He spends the first two games trying to get out.

* DraggedOffToHell:
** His original downfall ended with him being imprisoned in the Well of Souls, which roughly acts as a Hell analog.
** After he's defeated by Spyro and Cynder, a group of dragon spirits heavily implied to be the spirits of his elders emerge from the core of the world, grabbing him and dragging him into the core of the world. Just where he ended up is up isn't revealed, but Hell is certainly a fitting place for him.
