Crystal Dragon

Template:Items (Original) Crystal Statues are one of the main collectibles in Spyro the Dragon.

History

Gnasty Gnorc turned all of the dragons, excluding Spyro, into crystal. Spyro then sets out to rescue all of the dragons as well as recover the stolen treasure. The crystal statues can be seen rocking slightly as the dragon trapped inside struggles to free himself.

In order to free the crystallized dragon, Spyro must step onto the statue's pedestal. A white flash will erupt from it, allowing the imprisoned dragon to break free of his entrapment.

Trivia

• During the events of Spyro the Dragon, six of the dragons were imprisoned twice. All six of these dragons appear in the levels of Gnorc Gnexus, as it is said that they went to go confront Gnasty after Spyro freed them the first time only to be trapped a second time. Three of them feature physical changes for no apparent reason.
  • Delbin: Did not suffer any changes
  • Cleetus: Voice change, skin color becomes pale-green
  • Cosmos: Voice change, wings become bigger
  • Magnus: Voice change, wings become darker
  • Tomas: Did not suffer any changes
  • Lateef: Did not suffer any changes
• Considering that Gnasty Gnorc knows a spell that can turn gems into gnorcs, he probably was able to use gem material to imprison the dragons, meaning that all of the dragons may have been inside the green gem material.
• Trapped dragons can hear everything around them while they are inside their crystal prisons.
