There are at least two types of Gear Grinders, including the [[Gear Grinder Thieves]]. Gear Grinders usually attack by swinging their over-sized monkey wrenches at [[Spyro the Dragon (character)|Spyro]], and they can only be defeated by [[Fire|flame]]. The large Gear Grinders can also be occasionally seen cranking the key on their robots and unleashing them on Spyro.
Gear Grinders are big, muscular enemies appearing only in the [[Hurricos]] [[realm]]. They have an orange body, wear construction worker clothes, and carry a large monkey wrench.


When [[Spyro]] arrives in Hurricos, an [[Electroll]] named Zapp tells him that the Gear Grinders have been a recurring problem for the Electrolls, but that they have been divided because the Gear Grinders set up force fields to separate them. Spyro has to collect the [[diode]]s scattered around Hurricos, many of which are located near the Gear Grinders, and use each one to deactivate a force field. Whenever Spyro approaches a Gear Grinder, it tries to whack him with its large wrench. As with many large enemies, Spyro can quickly defeat a Gear Grinder using his flame breath.

Trivia

  • Gear Grinders might have been at least partial inspiration for Ratchet from the Ratchet & Clank series, as they hold a wrench and they are accompanied by the Gear Grinder Robots, which look similar to Clank. This would make sense, as Insomniac created that series and were the developers of the original three games in the Spyro series.
  • Their new appearance shows they are more muscular, and their wrenches are larger.
  • In the Spyro Reignited version of Magic Crafters, a Grinder was spotted along with an Electroll under the area with the supercharge path albeit T-posed on the ocean.
