I just beat the first Spyro and I gotta say, it's one of the best 3d platformers ever...

Not the first time this has been brought up on imageboards over the years. Early installment weirdness. YotD, wherein the dragon eggs make a comeback as a major collectable and relevant plot point features some female hatchlings if memory serves. And then there's the later games that people are apt to ignore (in some cases for good reason) that feature female dragons around Spyro's age, like Ember in Hero's Tail. Also I think it's stated that fairies bring dragon eggs from somewhere else, but it's been a while to maybe I'm remembering wrong. bear in mind Spyro was intended for kids, even if still surprisingly solid games to play as an adult too.

From what I gathered, you have "natural" gnorcs that are at least neutral to dragons for the most part, and then the ones that were enchanted by Gnasty from treasure he had stolen from the dragons. The former includes Gnasty himself (he had to have come from somewhere originally), but also the ones running Dragon Shores. The latter were the ones Gnasty had as foot-soldiers and the like. So Spyro "killing" the ones born of treasure just reverts them back into a harmless gem. That said, with Hero's Tail having brought Gnasty back, I'm not sure if he recreated more Gnorc foot soldiers or enslaved his own kind, but they drop gems either way, just like before.

Part of it is that Spyro incorporates that speed at a level that feels proper for the character (with supercharge being relegated to only certain areas as a temporary powerup), but also merges into being a means of attack as well. You don't have to choose whether to go fast or deal physical damage, you can do both at once. Whether or not it's going to actually harm the enemy depends on the situation (it won't for fatties and huge enemies, unless the mechanic it to knock them into a hazard), but still.

Go play Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon. They're a bit different in execution, but still good, and many a fan seems to consider Ripto's Rage the pinnacle of Spyro on the mechanics end.

One off there, KoG.

Nope, haha, the faggot got banned for some reason.

We just released this new video. You Spyro frequenters know the drill.

It would look so much less disgusting if you demo'd it with a nice shader.

I kind of liked Hero's Tail.

This looks impressive as hell for something whipped together in unity. The animations on the recreated Spyro model are just a bit off, I can tell when he runs/swims, but still pretty damn good as a whole. I assume the textures are just ripped from the game though right? Can't imagine they are all recreated.

What are you smoking? This looks great.

Also, Cynder.
I really wonder if Spyro has some hidden layer of autism that is difficult to perceive because of its lack of popularity.

God that 80s and 90s anime aesthetic (basically anything pre-millenium) makes me diamonds.
