Lateef

Template:Characterbox Template:Q Lateef is a dragon who is the leader of the Dream Weaver dragons in Spyro the Dragon. After Spyro freed him in the Dream Weavers realm, Lateef welcomed the young dragon's arrival and gave him advice on dealing with Gnasty Gnorc's minions in the Dream Weavers world. Lateef later went to confront Gnasty Gnorc along with several other dragons, but was imprisoned a second time. He was released by Spyro again in Gnorc Cove.

Appearance

Original Design (1998)

Lateef is a cyan blue dragon with brown horns, light green wings with dark-colored membranes. He shares his character model with Mazi, Azizi, Revilo, and Useni.

Reignited Design (2018)

In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Lateef is portrayed as a monk. His skin is a deeper shade of blue and he has two pieces of some kind of red cloth around his neck and waist trimmed with gold, a gold necklace with tassels and a rope belt. He has ears, has feathered wings, balances on his tail, and has a small pot with pink rocks. He seems to be dealing with the mystical arts as he talks in riddles.

Trivia

• In some early builds of the original game, and even fairly late in development, this dragon was missing his dialogue cutscene. Instead, releasing the dragon would cause the statue to instantly disappear.
• When being rescued again in Gnorc Cove in the original game, Lateef has a different voice.
• Lateef is an Arabic name, meaning "Gentle, kind".
• While Lateef and his friend Revilo both appear in the post-Gnasty Gnorc cutscene in the original game, they are absent from said sequence in Reignited.
• While in the actual Reignited game, he is a deeper shade of blue, his artwork for said game depicts him with the same blue that he has in the original.
• Lateef is mistakenly labelled as Mazi in The Art of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy.
