After Spyro defeated Gnasty Gnorc, he freed Magnus, who told him about Gnasty's treasure hoard where the Gnorc kept most of his treasure, but confirmed that in order to enter the treasure hoard, Spyro must find every gem and every dragon in the Dragon Kingdom.

Trivia

General

  • Once the player defeats Gnasty Gnorc the first time, Magnus appears in the platform in the middle of the Gnorc Gnexus hubworld replacing Delbin, resulting in the latter becoming permanently removed from the world.

Original Game

  • Magnus, after being freed a second time in the first game, looks a little different and sounds different.
    • His wings are a darker color and his voice changed.
    • In the NTSC version his horns are brown, unlike other versions.
  • In the unreleased June prototype, Magnus's horns are brown instead of yellow.
    • Spyro answers Magnus in Peace Keepers with an "I can do that."
    • In the prototype, he does not appear in Gnorc Gnexus.

Reignited Trilogy

  • When designing Magnus for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Devon Cady-Lee used a combination of bearded dragons, molochs and horned lizards, with references to Sumo and Polynesian outfits to go for the feeling of a dragon that can fight with his bare-hands.[2]
