Dockworkers are large enemies that appear in Gnorc Cove.

Characteristics

Behavior

Dockworkers constantly roll barrels (steel or TNT) down certain lanes on the docks that will flatten Spyro if he gets in the way. They do not attack Spyro up close. Usually, Dockworkers will stand at the end of these lanes next to small holes in the floor that eject the barrels they roll.

Tactics

Standing on the top of the holes will cut off the supply of barrels and render the Dockworkers harmless as they wait for the next barrel to pop up; if Spyro jumps off, the barrels will reappear and the Dockworkers will return to work. Spyro can defeat them by flaming them directly, or using their own barrels against them (charging armored barrels towards them or flaming TNT barrels next to them).

Trivia

• The Dockworkers are one of the few types of passive gnorcs. They do not show any form of direct hostility towards Spyro, as they are just doing their job of disposing barrels.
• In the original game, they closely resemble the Balloonists (only bigger) that transport you between worlds, while in the Reignited trilogy, they are more obviously Gnorcs.
