===History===
After being [[Crystal Dragon|turned into crystal]] by [[Gnasty Gnorc]], Tomas was rescued by [[Spyro]] in the Artisans Homeworld. He taught the young dragon (and the player) how to [[glide]]. He also told Spyro not to be afraid of falling off mountains and such, even though the young dragon was not afraid.
Tomas was the leader of the Order of Dragon Elders, who was friends with [[Red]] before his exile.


===''A Hero's Tail''===
Tomas has later turned into crystal again after attempting to confront Gnasty Gnorc along with several other dragons, and Spyro saved him, yet again, at [[Gnorc Cove]].
Years passed, and Tomas resided in the [[Dragon Kingdom]]. When Red returned from exile, the blue Dragon Elder taught [[Spyro the Dragon (character)|Spyro]] on how to double jump, and also how to [[Horn Dive]]. He witnessed the young purple dragon smash his first [[Dark Gems|dark gem]].


In the secret ending, Tomas is shown watching TV with the other elders. He and [[Titan (A Hero's Tail)|Titan]] agreed to turn it off after [[Astor (A Hero's Tail)|Astor]] called [[Magnus (A Hero's Tail)|Magnus]] a "deaf coot."

When the [[Calamity]] struck, Tomas telepathically guided Spyro out of the [[Shadow Realm]] and into the safety of the [[Dragon Dojo]]. Spyro then freed blue Dragon Elder when Tomas became trapped under a wooden beam when he was working on his house. Afterwards, Tomas helped Spyro in rescuing the other Elders and told the young dragon about the Calamity, the Shadow Realm, and other things. He soon tasked Spyro into freeing the inhabitants of the world from the Shadow Realm and find out who was behind all of it.

*He mentioned that he lost his flame powers long ago.
*Tomas was originally named Silvus in the earliest demo for ''Spyro the Dragon''.
*In a scrapped storybook found in the game files of ''Shadow Legacy'', Tomas was the twelfth leader of the Council of Elders, and was the one who banished Red for continuing experiments on dark magic that lead to the Dragonfly Dojo being ravaged by a monster from another world.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Spyro:_Shadow_Legacy#Unused_Books Spyro: Shadow Legacy]</ref>

**In the June 1998 Prototype, in Gnorc Cove, Tomas' statue disappears immediately upon collection - he does not yet have an animation.

*Both Tomas' and Thor's names in the internal list of dragon names are out of place when compared to the other dragons in their levels. No other dragons follow this trend, and it is suggested that Thor was originally called Tomas, leaving Tomas with the name Silvus - this fixes the issue with the order of the names.

Trivia

Rescued Silvus
  • Tomas was originally named Silvus in the earliest demo for Spyro the Dragon.
    • Silvus' dialogue was a little different from Tomas': "Press the jump button twice to glide, and... and don't be afraid. and Falling from high mountain peaks, plummeting into prehistoric glaciers, crashing through..."
    • In the June 1998 Prototype, in Gnorc Cove, Tomas' statue disappears immediately upon collection - he does not yet have an animation.
  • Upon being rescued for the second time at Gnorc Cove, Tomas initially doubted Spyro's abilities but quickly backtracks to saying that he always believed in him to which Spyro replies, You gotta believe!. This is an obvious homage to PaRappa the Rapper which released a year prior to Spyro the Dragon.
  • Both Tomas' and Thor's names in the internal list of dragon names are out of place when compared to the other dragons in their levels. No other dragons follow this trend, and it is suggested that Thor was originally called Tomas, leaving Tomas with the name Silvus - this fixes the issue with the order of the names.
