Avalar
It has been requested that this article be rewritten.
See the Manual of Style for rewriting suggestions.
Avalar is the main setting of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!. It is a realm that contains three home worlds, all with its own castle and based on the seasons of summer, autumn and winter respectively. Unlike the Dragon Realms or Forgotten Worlds, the residents of Avalar have never seen a dragon before. When Ripto arrives and seek to take over Avalar, the desperate locals open a temporary portal to the Dragon Realms to draw a dragon to help them.
Original series
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
Avalar is the home of allies Elora, Hunter, the Professor and Zoe. It was threatened by Ripto in Ripto's Rage!, but when Ripto was defeated by Spyro, everything returned to normal. Avalar is composed of three major home worlds, each containing several portals to other realms.
Upon entering, each home world will be adorned with banners showing Ripto's face, which symbolize his conquest of said world. Once the boss in each world is defeated, the banners return to their regular blue-green pattern. Because of the situation with the banner, it is unknown how much control is held over the realms before Spyro arrived. The inhabitants of Avalar are peaceful (except in the cases of Breeze Harbor and Zephyr), and got quite bothered when Ripto started causing chaos.
Spyro: Shadow Legacy
In Shadow Legacy, all residents of Avalar were trapped in the Shadow Realm by the Calamity and were saved by Spyro. Spyro later fights the Fire Minion within a Shadow Amplifier machine in Avalar.
The home worlds of Avalar don't appear in Shadow Legacy, but one of its levels made an appearance.
Trivia
- Avalar's name sounds similar to Alvar.
- The world's name is probably a pun/nod to the legendary Avalon.

- Avalar was to be mentioned in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, but was cut.
- Each of Avalar's home worlds is based on a different season, but due to only having three home worlds, there isn't one based on Spring.[1]
