Charactertistics

Physical Appearance

Most of an Elder Wizard's features are hidden under their blue cloaks, with the exception of their eyes and long white beards. They are closely related to the Green Wizards, only they are much older and larger and can be distinguished by their long white beards and blue clothing.

Behavior

There may be a rivalry involving the Elder Wizards in the wizard community. In Alpine Ridge, the Elder Wizards and Green Druids will fight one another, however, they will not kill each other. The Green Druid will raise himself up atop a rock structure when the Elder Wizard shoots his magic bolts at him, and the Druid will occasionally use his powers of earth manipulation to knock the Blue Wizard over.

In High Caves, at the base of the hill outside of the caves near the level's starting point, a Green Druid dodges an Elder Wizard's magic bolts by moving the pillars they are on out of harm's way. However the Elder Wizard will be knocked over by a Tornado Wizard's wind magic that are sent spiraling down the hill.

In the same area, the Elder Wizards and the Tornado Wizards will duke it out, each one firing their own type of magical projectile at the other. The Tornado Wizards' tornadoes seemed to affect the Blue Wizards more than the Blue Wizards' magic bolts do on the Tornado Wizards.

Lastly, in Wizard Peak, the Ice Grorcs summoned by these wizards will kill Armored Druids if they get too close.

Tactics

If there are no Green Druids and Tornado Wizards in the vicinity, the Elder Wizards will attack Spyro by creating and firing a beam of magical energy at him. Some Elder Wizards in Wizard Peak use their magic to create large, club wielding Gnorcs called Snowmen then watch from afar as their creations attack Spyro and other Wizards and Armored Druids.

The Elder Wizards are much too large to be defeated by a charge attack and must be flamed. In addition, a Supercharge can defeat these enemies, as demonstrated in Wizard Peak.

Story

Spyro: Shadow Legacy

In Spyro: Shadow Legacy, an Elder Wizard, Panthanitis, is the leader of the Wizards atop the Mountain of Magic. Unlike their original Spyro the Dragon game counterparts, these Wizards are allies and friends to the Dragons, even praising them as highly beings.
