Year of the Dragon

The Year of the Dragon is a time when every twelve years, new dragon eggs are brought into the Dragon Realms in the Spyro series.

Original Series

In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, the Year of the Dragon took place during the entire setting of this game. Fairies deliver new dragon eggs into the Dragon Realms, and the eggs hatch only at this time.

Legend Series

Around the introduction of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, the Year of the Dragon was taking place as Ignitus and the other remaining Guardians were watching over the dragon eggs inside the Dragon Temple, including the egg that contained the next purple dragon, Spyro.

However, the Dark Master, Malefor, heard of the prophecy of the next purple dragon, and sent his Ape army to the Dragon Temple to destroy the eggs to prevent Spyro's birth. He also ordered Gaul, the Ape King, to steal one of the dragon eggs as Malefor needed a dragon born in the Year of the Dragon to open the gateway that served as his prison. Fortunately, Spyro's egg was safely taken by Ignitus and was sent down the calm stream of the Silver River. Unfortunately, the other Guardians were overwhelmed, and by the time Ignitus returned to the Temple, the dragon eggs were smashed by the Apes, all except Cynder's egg which was taken by Gaul to be corrupted by Malefor's influence as ordered.
