Story

History

Centuries ago, the Cheetahs worshipped the first purple dragon Malefor alongside Dragonkind and the Moles. After Malefor's fall to darkness and the ongoing war that followed, the cheetahs gained a fearful distrust of dragons, believing them to be the cause of the misfortunes that befell them. The cheetah clan disconnected themselves from the outside world to protect themselves and their village. Their suspicion of dragonkind would later grow years later when a corrupted Cynder came to power, enslaving the realm while under Malefor's control. However, not all cheetahs share the same distrust of dragons as their village leader, Prowlus.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

Three years after Malefor returned, the Cheetahs were forced into action when his army threatened their way of life.[1] One cheetah warrior named Hunter attempted to help the Dragons in the war against Malefor before his village got involved. After their encounter with Spyro and a reformed Cynder, the cheetahs joined the Dragon race in their fight against Malefor's forces.

Trivia

  • According to the mural in the Ruins of Warfang, the Cheetahs worshipped Malefor centuries ago along with the Moles and the rest of Dragonkind.
  • All of the cheetahs in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon have very similar appearances. Though they may be in different colors and hold different weapons, in artwork they all have the same stance and the same eyes.
  • One particular plotline in Spyro: Shadow Legacy is similar to Dawn of the Dragon's. In Shadow Legacy, Spyro is thrown in jail after being accused by Kasi of being the cause of the Calamity that brought the Shadow Realm to the Savannah all because he was a purple dragon. Hunter was imprisoned as well for siding with Spyro. Within the reboot of Dawn of the Dragon, Spyro and Cynder were chained by Prowlus for being a purple dragon and the former servant of Malefor respectively. Hunter was chained for bringing in the two dragons, who are part of the race who caused misfortunes to the Cheetah Village.
  • The cheetahs are similar to the elves in many forms of literature, as they are an agile race who live solitary lives and mostly wield light weaponry such as bows and arrows.
