Template:Characterbox Template:Q Doctor Shemp (ドクター・クール or Dr. Cool in Japanese) was a large Shaman in Spyro the Dragon who wore metal armor on his front. As Trondo stated upon his rescue, Doctor Shemp thought that he was in fact "cool", and wore sunglasses. Doctor Shemp 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 arrogant.
Description
Doctor Shemp was the boss of the Peace Keepers Homeworld, and was found in the realm, Doctor Shemp. He was quite tall, had orange skin, wore metal chest armor, and a pair of sunglasses. He used a large staff with a skull on the top has his weapon. Throughout his confrontation with Spyro, Doctor Shemp was heard vocalizing.
Spyro's battle with Doctor Shemp took place on three platforms, and the boss attacked differently on each platform. At some point at each attack, he exposed his vulnerable backside. Spyro must flame at those points in order to damage him. After each hit, he hopped across the bridge to the next platform. On the third platform, he perished upon being burned.
