Seashell Shore

Template:PlaceOriginalSeashell Shore (also known as Shell Beach) is a realm in Spyro: Year of the Dragon and in the Reignited Trilogy remaster of the third game. It can be accessed in the Sunrise Spring homeworld after collecting 15 Dragon Eggs.

Description

Three Seals, Sigmund, Sal, and Stu, were taking a Rhynoc submarine for a spin, but accidentally crashed it. In revenge, the Rhynocs "arrested" the seals, and threw them in an underwater prison cell. After Sebastian the Seal returns from Sunrise Spring, he finds his friends being held captive, and calls on Spyro to help free them. In order to do so, Spyro has to reach the other side of the cell and defeat the octopus holding the jail key and Stanley the Seal captive. After the seals are freed, Stanley gives Spyro an egg he found in a Rhynoc's lunchbox as a reward.

After Sheila is released, she goes to help some other seals blow up a Rhynoc sand fortress that is guarding another egg.

Guide

Eggs

• Free the Seals (Dizzy): Reach the end of the realm and free the seals by charging into an Octopus holding the jail key and Stanley the Seal captive.
• Under the Docks (Jason): Before the first set of Sailor Rhynocs, there is a dock with a pool of water below it. An egg is located in one of the corners of the pool.
• Clear Out the Pipe (Duke): In this challenge portal, an egg was accidentally sent through a high-speed water tunnel, and the only way to retrieve it is to reach the end while defeating every Rhynoc in the tunnel and avoiding water mines.
• Defeat the Shark Sub (Jackie): In this challenge portal, Bluto the Rhynoc challenges Spyro and the seals to a naval battle with his robotic shark. Defeat Bluto to get the egg.
• Destroy the Sand Castle (Mollie): In this Sheila portal, the seals have discovered a Rhynoc sand fortress guarding an egg and plan to blow it up with TNT crates. However, it is heavily guarded, so they ask Sheila for help. Destroy the smaller sand and metal blocks surrounding the fortress within the time limit so that the seals can blow it up and give you the egg.

• Hop to the Secret Cave (Jared): In the same Sheila portal, there is a hidden cave that contains an egg and a ground-pound gem chest. It can be found after jumping across the two pillars and double-jumping left.

Skill Points

• Catch the Funky Chicken: There is a very fast chicken fodder in the area around the entryway leading to Stanley the Seal being held captive by an octopus. Hitting it with an underwater charge will earn you a skill point.

Trivia

• This realm's name is based off the famous tongue-twister, "She sells seashells down by the seashore."
• In the PAL and non-Greatest Hits versions of the game, Crystal Islands shares its music theme with this realm.
• The background in this realm is the same as Sunny Beach.
• The seals in this realm are voiced by Pamela Hayden, of The Simpsons fame. She also voices Bianca, Nancy and the Weather Imps.
• In the earliest demo version, there are some differences compared to the final version:
  • A few sound effects are missing.
  • Zoe didn't have her new voice actor yet. Because of this, her dialogue is just text. Also, she doesn't mention the atlas, and her dialogue for gliding is different.
  • Some of the challenge portal entrances and exits are either slightly larger or smaller.
  • The "funky chicken" skill point can't be earned.
  • Gem placement is slightly different, and there are 200 gems instead of 400.
  • The eggs had a different hatching sound, less animations, and were green on the UI; but had their final design in-game. The baby dragons also had different names:
    • Dizzy was named Jose.
    • Jason was named Keifer.
    • Duke was named Basil.
    • Jackie was named Jael.
    • Mollie was named Iolanthe.
    • Jared was named Elton.
