Dockworker

Dockworkers are large enemies that appear in Gnorc Cove. They do not necessarily attack Spyro up close, but they constantly roll barrels (armored or TNT barrels) down certain lanes of the level that will flatten him if he is in the way. Dockworkers will usually stand at the end of these lanes next to small holes in the floor which eject the barrels that they will roll.

Standing on top of the holes will cut off the supply of barrels and render the Dockworkers harmless as they wait for the next barrel to pop up; the barrels reappear once Spyro gets off the holes in which the Dockworkers return to rolling the barrels.

Strategy

Spyro can defeat these enemies by flaming them up close or using the barrels against them (charge armored barrels at them or flaming TNT barrels next to them; the explosions will kill them).

Trivia

• It appears that Dockworkers are the only passive gnorcs, apart from the common gnorc, as they don't show any hostility to Spyro apart from doing their job of disposing of barrels.
