Jacques

Jacques ( アメージング・ボックス, Amazing Box in Japanese) is a sentient jack-in-the-box jester/fool who served as the penultimate boss in the original, Spyro the Dragon game. He resided in Dream Weavers, in a nightmarish volcanic landscape that was populated by lava creatures. Spyro confronted Jacques, and fought him on a series of platforms that levitated above a volcanic crater. The young dragon was able to best Jaques, and leave his realm.

Strategy

Jacques mostly threw boxes at Spyro throughout the battle. As Spyro chased him, Jacques moved from one platform to the next until he reached and stood on a dark pink box, where he'd stay put and continue throwing boxes. If Spyro flamed him, he moved quickly to the next dark pink box (there were three in total) and repeated the same process. Once Jacques was flamed on the last pink box, he disappeared and left four Purple Gems worth twenty-five (each); just near the exit vortex.

Trivia

• "Jacques" is the French spelling of "Jack," appropriate as he is a Jack-in-the-box.
• Jacques was similar to other Jack-in-the-Box themed video game bosses, such as Mad Jack in Donkey Kong 64.  
• Jacques (Realm) is the only realm where you have to save two dragons, while the other four boss realms only has one dragon each.
• In the June 15th Prototype of the game, Jacques throws boxes textured with a rainbow-colored design.
