Effect Traps Dragons in crystal

Crystal Dragons are one of the main collectibles in Spyro the Dragon.

Gnasty Gnorc turned all of the dragons, excluding Spyro, into crystal after they called him 'ugly' and other derogatory terms during an interview with DNN. Spyro then sets out to rescue all of the dragons as well as recover the stolen treasure. The crystal statues can be seen rocking slightly as the dragon trapped inside struggles to free himself.

In order to free the crystallized dragon, Spyro must step onto the statue's pedestal. A bright flash will erupt from it, allowing the imprisoned dragon to break free of his entrapment.

    • Delbin: Voice change
    • Cleetus: Voice change
      • In the NTSC-U version, his skin color also changes to an off-white color. This oversight seems to arise from the fact that Cleetus originally used this skin colour in the Beast Makers too - this can be seen in the July 18th Prototype.

      • In the NTSC-U version, his horns also change to a brown color.
