Haunted Tomb

Template:PlaceOriginalHaunted Tomb is a realm in Spyro: Year of the Dragon and in the Reignited Trilogy remaster of the third game. It can be accessed in the Midnight Mountain homeworld after the player collects 70 Dragon Eggs.

Description

This realm is strongly based on ancient Egypt with Egyptian Dogs that like to tell riddles, mummified Rhynocs in caskets, and Earthshapers that throw white rocks that explode. When Spyro enters the tomb, an Egyptian Dog challenges him to make it to the end alive and solve a riddle, hoping that he is "more wise than the last guy (was)". The realm features doors that are activated by switches, a snake slide, and falling rocks throughout the level that can hurt Spyro. After making it to the end, another Egyptian Dog asks Spyro the riddle, and gives out an egg after Spyro successfully answers it.
