Doctor Shemp (ドクター・クール or Dr. Cool in Japanese) is a large shaman in Spyro the Dragon who wears metal armor on his front. As Trondo stated upon his rescue, Doctor Shemp thinks that he is in fact "cool", wearing sunglasses. He was hired by Gnasty Gnorc while he was looking for recruits to defeat Spyro shortly after he turned all of the other dragons into crystal statues. In general, Doctor Shemp was simply full of himself.
