'''High Caves''' is a [[realm]] in ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]''.
'''High Caves''' is the second realm of the [[Magic Crafters]] [[Home World|home world]] originaly appearing in the original ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]'' and its remake in the ''[[Spyro Reignited Trilogy]]''. The caves are filled with [[Metalback Spider|large, armor plated spiders]]. There is also a [[Supercharge|Supercharge Ramp]] and a [[Superflame]] [[powerup]].


==Features and overview==
==Objectives==
High Caves is a realm of [[Magic Crafters]]. It takes place within castle-like buildings on a mountain range and in a cave area inside one of the mountains. The areas are not connected, and there is a large, open abyss between them, so [[Spyro]] has to use a [[supercharge ramp]] within the cave to do a [[supercharge]] to gain enough momentum to [[glide]] between the different locations. Even if Spyro falls into the abyss below, a few [[fairy|fairies]] come to rescue him, and return him to the start of the supercharge ramp.
