“Munitions Forge is an island dominated by Boyzitbig, an unstable volcano that makes life on the surface very dicey. The locals, who live underground, have been forced to mine the metals that Cynder uses to forge her army's weapons. [...] They're called Manweersmalls.”

– Ignitus, The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Munitions Forge is a hot lava pit infested island dominated by an active volcano named Boyzitbig. The inhabitants of this island are the Manweersmalls, bipedal mole-like creatures who spend their lives underground. It is also home to Magma Worms, Buffalo Beetles, and Fire Beetles.

After the island was taken over, it was converted into a massive armory and mining camp where the Dark Armies would mine the large amount of volcanic metal to use for their weapons. This is also where Spyro learns his Earth element.

Story

During the war between the Dragons and the Dark Armies, Ignitus stood his ground defending Munitions Forge from the scourge of Apes. When the dragons lost the war, the Dark Armies proceeded to enslave the Manweersmall population and forced them to work manual labor around the caves of the island.

Years later, Spyro would travel to the polluted Munitions Forge to save Terrador from Cynder's forces as the volcano Boyzitbig was preparing to erupt. Spyro was asked by Mole-Yair to save his people, who were imprisoned and/or enslaved by the Apes. After saving the Manweersmalls, Spyro found Terrador but he had to defeat an impeding Ape called the Conductor and his steam locomotive, Steam. The young dragon saved Terrador, but Cynder arrived and started to chase Spyro after retrieving the crystal that was used to sap Terrador's power. Spyro escaped seconds before the volcano erupted, but Cynder was still chasing him down. Ignitus intervened and attacked Cynder to save Spyro, but became captured in the process. Spyro wished to go back and help Ignitus but Terrador told him that they would never find Ignitus and Cynder in the chaos, and he was not ready to face Cynder yet. So Spyro decided to go rescue Ignitus at Cynder's Lair after Terrador taught him how to use Earth breath back at the Dragon Temple.

Trivia

• The Skylanders counterpart of Munitions Forge is mentioned in the backstory of the Fire Trap Master, Ka-Boom, which is also his homeland.
• The island's volcano and its inhabitants are both puns, with "Boyzitbig" being a way of saying "Boy is it big", while the Manweresmalls can be said as "Man, we're small."
