Spyro Trivia (General)

Here, have some random Spyro trivia.

Spyro's Change of Heart

(7:46) Spyro's original voice (Carlos Alazraqui) and personality attracted a bit of bad feedback, with some people complaining that he was a 'cocky bastard'. For all subsequent games his personality was toned down to be more likeable, and his new voice (Tom Kenny) was softer.

Water in Autumn Plains


The back of a Pizza Hut demo disc shows the walls surrounding part of the castle contained water at one point.

It's funny you bring up Spyro's change in personality. In a Developer Commentary I found, they said that one of the things they canged going from Ratchet and Clank 1 to Going Comando was Ratchet's personality. They wanted to rescue him from being "the asshole he was in the last game" which is why he became nicer to Clank and has a new voice. I'm wandering if they realize that they made two unlike able guys back to back. (2:20)

That's quite interesting. They apparently have a nack at creating (what some folks believe to be) unlikeable characters, it would seem.

A couple more trivia:

Wintery Tundra
The song, Wintery Mist from Silent Hill: The Homecoming is the nearly identical to Winter Tundra from Spyro 2, just slowed down.





Instruction Error

Special thanks to Spyroo of DarkSpyro for letting me use their pic.
In the manual to DotD, Cynder is misspelt 'Cyder'.
