{{Quote|Say hello to your new king!|Ripto, ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]''}}
'''Ripto''' is a recurring antagonist in the ''[[Spyro (franchise)|Spyro]]'' franchise, first appearing in ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]'' He is a dinosaurian sorcerer who serves as [[Spyro]]'s archenemy in most of the game installments in the series. He is often accompanied by his two most loyal minions, [[Crush]] and [[Gulp]].

==Characteristics==
===Personality===
Ripto is a grumpy and short, orange sorcerer with a hatred toward [[dragon]]s.

==Story==
===''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]''===
[[Hunter]] accidentally brings Ripto into [[Avalar]] through a portal. Ripto announces that he will take over Avalar because there are no [[dragon]]s. Ripto starts out carrying a powerful magical staff, but loses it early when Gulp swallows it by mistake. Every time [[Spyro]] first enters a realm, Ripto takes over its castle and replaces the flags with ones showing his face.

Ripto has since remained relatively defenseless for most of Spyro's adventure. He only regains his true strength late into the adventure after he steals Avalar's greatest gateway crystal to create a new magic staff for himself. At [[Winter Tundra]], Spyro manages to enter [[Ripto's Arena]], where he engages in the final battle against Ripto. Spyro manages to defeat Ripto using his [[Superflame-Superfly Combo|superflame-superfly]] powerup.

===''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]''===
In the original epilogue, Ripto and [[Gnasty Gnorc]] hold a summit to discuss the "Spyro Problem". 

Ripto's symbol from ''Ripto's Rage!'' is presented on the underside of Spyro's [[turbo-snowboard]]. There is also a skateboarding trick, the Raging Ripto, which is named after Ripto.

===''[[Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly]]''===
Ripto is the main antagonist. He used a spell to scatter the [[dragonfly|dragonflies]] around the [[Dragon Realm]]s to render the baby dragons defenseless. Throughout Spyro's adventure, Ripto has his own group of minions, the [[Riptoc]]s. Spyro managed to once again defeat Ripto, who then escaped through a portal.

===''[[Spyro 2: Season of Flame]]''===
Ripto is the the main antagonist for a third time. In the game, Ripto hired the [[Rhynoc]]s to invade the [[Dragon Realms]] and steal every [[firefly]], which are the source for the dragons' fire breath.
