Hero Orc

Template:Characterbox Hero Orcs are the one of the strongest type of Grublins, only appearing in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. Their rank is that of the Ape Commanders from Spyro's previous two adventures.

Story

One of the notable Hero Orcs was the one who was the leader of the group of Grublins who ventured into the ruins of the Mountain of Malefor and freed Spyro and Cynder from their three-year sleep. After shackling them with the green snake chains, the Orc and the Grublins dragged the two unconscious dragons away to Catacombs to be sacrificed to the Golem there. The Hero Orc appeared again near the platform Spyro and Cynder were chained to, noticing that the two dragons have awakened too soon before the Golem arrived, and commanded to the Grublins to stop them before they can escape, and disappeared. At the Dam, the Hero Orc supposedly appeared again, flanked by two Orc Archers, engaging a battle against Spyro and Cynder to stop them from destoying the Dam, but it was ultimately defeated.

Other Hero Orcs are later battled through the rest of the game.

Tactics

Hero Orcs are one of the toughest enemies to beat, maybe even the longest to defeat. Their shields need to be destroyed and their spiked clubs have to be disarmed in order to attack them at full power. The swinging blows from their clubs are devastating, and they need to be disarmed from their weapons in order for them to be temporarily defenseless.

Cynder's primary wind breath and Spyro's primary electrcity breath are both just as effective against Hero Orc's as each other as both attacks leave them dissarmed. However Cynder's wind breath only slows down the Hero Orcs where as Spyro's electricity breath leaves the enemy stunned for as long as the player is attacking the enemy.
