Desert Ruins

Template:PlaceOriginal Desert Ruins is the location of the tomb of the Stone Golem, and a top location for treasure hunters. When Spyro arrived, he encountered the famous explorer Tara and her skittish boyfriend Gus. The tomb is filled with deadly Scorpions of all shapes and sizes, as well as acidic water. Sheila and Hunter can also be found here.

Trivia

• When viewing the portal, the bottom part of the background is blue, but when entering the portal, and in the realm, the bottom part is green, like the ooze in the realm.
• One of the rats, Tara, is a spoof of Lara Croft, with a similar name, hairstyle, outfit and large assets.
  • Because of this, many fans dub her "Tara Kroft".
  • The other rat, Gus, resembles the Gemcutters of Glimmer.
