World Dark Passage
First appearance Spyro the Dragon (1998)
Latest appearance Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018)

Devil Dogs[1] are found in Dark Passage. They resemble cute little puppies when standing in the light, but in the darkness, they become massive, scary monsters that will attempt to eat Spyro if he gets too close.

Characteristics

Physical Appearance

In the original game, while in the light, Devil Dogs resemble small, brown dogs with long tails. In the darkness, they are hulking, red monsters with oversized mouths containing sharp teeth.

Behavior

In their small forms, Devil Dogs attack Spyro by simply biting him. In their larger forms, they chew up Spyro and then spitting him back out.

Tactics

Small Devil Dogs can be defeated by a flame or charge. The large Devil Dogs can only be defeated by flame due to their size, but they need to be dealt with quickly. Their speed at attacking is fast and highly startling, especially when multiple attack at once.

Trivia

  • Many players consider the Devil Dogs to be some of the scariest enemies within the Spyro series.
  • Their death sound when small are different from their death sound when they're large.
  • In Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, the character Zam has a skin that resembles a devil dog that was made obtainable in the Spyro & Friends Grand Prix.
  • In Spyro Reignited, the Devil Dogs in their normal form were redesigned to resemble french bulldogs. This is because Toys For Bob have pet dogs all over their studio and didn't want Spyro burning little puppies.[2]
