I'm thinking any one of the bosses from Dark Souls would be hard for him, but, you know...he's a dragon.

He wouldn't be able to beat even the easier enemies in Okami since he doesn't have thumbs or a magical paintbrush tail. :D

Every boss requiring levers. No opposable thumbs :U

It's easy to pull a lever without thumbs, though, and I think he's done it before in-game. Anything that required fine motor skills of the hands would be beyond him, though. :D

A Professor Layton puzzle.

Lara Croft.

Wait! The boss Spyro could never in a million years beat? GLaDOS. All Aperture technology can survive up to 4000 degrees kelvin. :D

Demise from Skyward sword, since Spyro would need to use the Master Sword against him in order to damage him.

@SuperSpyroFan
Doesn't count. She isn't the villain of her game.

The Deadly Six! Spyro can wall jump, but he's not fast enough to do parkour moves.

He couldn't beat the final boss in Beyond Good & Evil, either, since only Jade had what was needed for that fight. Nor could he beat any bosses in the Ratchet and Clank series since no thumbs means no guns. :D

Metal Overlord from Sonic Heroes. The only way to beat him was to use Team Blast, plus that fight took place in the sky. Spyro can fly, but some of his friends can't.

Alduin. Dragon fight!

Did you forget about Spyro's superflame power-up? That's if he had one at his disposal.

True, but there aren't any power ups like that in any of the RnC games that I've played, so the point still stands. :D

Also: Spyro couldn't do anything in Aquaria. It'd be hilarious hearing him try to sing for his powers, though. :D

The Ender Dragon from Minecraft too. Remember how Spyro can only do long range moves with the help of cannons and the like? Well,I hope he can survive around 10 explosions in an area without farm animals to give health so he can actually fight that guy properly.

Wait, I got it....the guy from Uncharted 2!!!!! I forgot his name, though. Was is Yazarvich or something?

well some of my friends think Alduin or this guy from Final Fantasy called Sephiroth. but I say Spyro for the win.

She's not a boss, but he'd never beat Lara Croft (any version). :D

The Atlantean creature at the end of Tomb Raider 1.
There's also that chinese dragon at the end of Tomb Raider 2 as well, and don't forget that spider in Tomb Raider 3.

Lara Croft still doesn't count, though. She is NOT the villain of her game.

I didn't put Lara Croft that time, dumbass.

[READS COMMENT AGAIN, LIGHTS A MATCH TO BURN HIS BUTT]

Unless he had Sonic nearby, Spyro wouldn't be able to beat Tabuu from the Subspace Emissary in Super Smash Bros Brawl.

OH, DANG!!! I FORGOT ABOUT THAT GUY!!!!11!1!1

Bored, so I just came up with this question.

My choice: Sonic.

I would say Jazz Jackrabbit. He's supposed to be a fast character, but Spyro could out run him with super charge.

Magician Type-0 from The House of the Dead Series. He is incredibly fast and deadly, so hard for Spyro to aim his SuperFlame shots to Magican's unknown weak spots !!

Consider the cinematic elements the Spyro series adopted and evolved...Naughty Dog has been doing some of the same stuff, starting with, not Uncharted, but Jak II. And they almost always do their video games right. Heck, I've never known them to mess up a game.

And since they've showed their capabilities of crafting supplies in The Last Of Us and they've showed how explosive they can make weapons in Jak 3, ALSO CONSIDERING THE FREE-ROAM WORLDS IN JAK II AND JAK 3, I'm really thinking that they're capable of bringing him back from the dead. Heck, they can practically make the next Spyro game something like what Dawn of the Dragon should have been, times a million!!!!! I'm saying they can make it a movie in video-game form!!!!!!

They have the capability, and since they're going back to Uncharted and they're probably going to make a second team, they should DO IT. YES, I know that Activision still has Spyro under a contract, but Naughty Dog is VERY talented!!!!! Heck, they might be able to even bring back CRASH, because the dang dogs can find room for HUMORRRRRR!!1!!1!

I never thought on that before...

Well, it'd never happen because Naughty Dog aren't independent anymore. They were bought by Sony a couple of years ago, around about the time Sucker Punch, somewhere between Uncharted 2 and 3 I think.

Besides, Naughty Dog are sticking with Uncharted and The Last of Us for now, the former I haven't played much of and the latter is spectacular, so I couldn't see them swaying back to children's/teens games any time soon.

@bionicle2809
Well, remember how crazy Jak got in the later games? One thing I'm glad about is that Daxter retained his sarcastic personality throughout every game, which, in some cases, can be compared to some parts of Spyro's personality. It's weird, though, humor like that isn't tossed around these days (Rayman Origins and Legends only makes a minor exception; my friend doesn't give a dang about that limbless guy).

I mean, I myself still have some ideas (get out of here, Aura24), but to be working with Naughty Dog...THAT would make the revival more possible.

You never learn, do you?

I mean, really, if he tried to shoot with the thing, he wouldn't be able to. It'd make a little bit of sense for him to carry it in his mouth, but then he might accidentally swallow it and then would have to spit it out.

Dude, to be honest, you're making way too many topics about fan speculation.

There are a lot of topics of his fan speculation in the Fandom section.

Yeah, that's why I got suspended for the rest of Sunday (and possibly Monday; I didn't bother going back that day), but hey, I got imagination, don't I?

Actually, they've been a subsidiary of Sony since 2001. It made more sense financially for Naughty Dog to cut ties with Universal and just work directly for Sony. So the Jak games were made as a 2nd party studio. By contrast, Insomniac went back to being independent after their contract with Universal expired, although they never made a game for a non-Sony system until 2013. <.<;

Yeah but you need to learn to restrain that imagination.

I notice that from time to time.

But isn't that good in this case? Because this forum has been dead and the Spyro fandom hasn't been very active. IMO, it's NICE to see someone trying to promote some discussion, even if it's just fan-speculation.

Anyway, I'd try drawing that, but I can't share it here anyway because I have no image uploader to upload it onto.

Arc of Archives, don't worry about image uploaders. Use deviantART and paste the image's URL between image blocks.

Oh, yes you're right. I was just thinking of Sucker Punch that was back in 2011.

^ Well, I would if I actually remembered my deviantART password.

Someone else could do better, but I just whipped this up quickly:

(And yes, I roughly themed the jacket and bazooka after Crash Bandicoot. )

He's not holding it but close enough! I'm a really amateur artist and I never draw jackets or bazookas so I'm happy enough with this.

I wonder what a Spyro game would be like if High Impact got the chance to do it.

Naughty Dog would do it WAY better, though.

It'd be bad, like all of High Impact's games. Because reloading to a checkpoint with the same amount of health you had when you first reached that checkpoint is just... FUN.

I haven't played any of High Impact's games so I wouldn't know about that, but I'm only thinking of it because they're made up of ex-Insomniac staff, but it's probably a stupid idea anyway.

How about Big Red Button Entertainment do it?

Oh my god- imagine how the fandom would react if Spyro got another redesign as different as the Sonic Boom ones are from standard Sonic. You know, after the reaction to Skylanders Spyro.

Seriously, when you consider the TLoS's dark themes, with the gloomy music and the jet-black shadows, you can tell that the series's setting was in a time of darkness, which perfectly describes the medieval era. Yep, THAT series isn't based in the modern world.

The original Spyro trilogy clearly showed that the original Spyro's world is modern-world, because THAT series had characters with guns, characters with camera equipment, and characters with a whole bunch of modern-day artillery.

Despite that, Spyro doesn't have thumbs. Even though he can use cannons and army tanks just fine, he couldn't hold things in his front paws, he'd need to use his mouth.

He knows how to handle switches, though, so I'm just thinking...how well do you think he can use a smartphone?
