Staff Riptoc

Template:CharacterboxStaff Riptocs are one of the varieties of Riptocs that have invaded the Dragonfly Dojo. They are large Riptocs that use a staff to strike at Spyro. When you hit them, they always fall down and bounce backwards about three times. Like Ninja Riptocs, they have the yin-yang symbol on their chests.

They are immune to Spyro's Charge attack unless frozen.

Trivia

• In early gameplays and screenshots of the level, this Riptoc appeared to have purple skin and wore a red gi and headband, almost opposite of the final design
  • Considering this, its behaviors are similar to that of the final version, as when approached, it twirls its staff around
  • One noticeable difference is that when hit, it simply falls and disappears instead of bouncing back three times
