Egg Thieves are the common type of thief in the Spyro the Dragon series who steal dragon eggs, gems, and anything else believed to be valuable in the Dragon Realms.

Spyro can defeat them by charging or flaming them. As soon as they see Spyro, they will taunt him and as soon as he approaches them, they will run away. They first appeared in Spyro the Dragon. In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, the Blue Thieves wear brown hats.

Story

Spyro the Dragon

During Gnasty Gnorc's reign over the Dragon Realms, Thieves have stolen dragon eggs and constantly taunt Spyro on his journey and tried to keep the Dragon Eggs out of his grasp as he makes his way through the Dragon Realms. They are fast, but Spyro's charging speed is just slightly faster, and they will fall easily after being charged or flamed once.

In Tree Tops, there is both a Green Thief and a Red Thief, and each of them carry a purple gem. In the Gnasty Gnorc boss realm, there are two Thieves, each of whom are carrying a key required to reach Gnasty Gnorc. Many varieties of Thieves appear in Gnasty's Loot, including ones that ride a plane, Plane Thieves.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

In the Forgotten Worlds, Thieves serve under the Sorceress. Spyro encounters red, blue, and yellow Egg Thieves along the way, and like in Spyro the Dragon, Spyro must chase down these Thieves to retrieve a Dragon Egg from them. Moneybags is shown to have taken a liking towards the two Egg Thieves found in the Supercharge Challenge Portal in Molten Crater.

Thieves also appear in the Super Bonus Round, although they carry high amounts of Gems instead of Eggs.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Red hired blue-robed Thieves to steal 80 Dragon Eggs from Mrs. Shoutfire. The Thieves either dropped the eggs, or kept them and are hidden throughout the realms.

Other game appearance

Crash Team Rumble

Egg Thieves periodically appear in the forest areas of the Summer Forest map carrying a sack of gems that can be dropped at the team's wumpa banks to score points. Defeating the fleeing Egg Thieves will grant the player the sack of gems but they will lose it if they are defeated by the opposing team.

Locations

Spyro the Dragon

No.	Level	Detail
1	Stone Hill	When Spyro accesses the level, he must go into a cave on the right and continue until he reaches another grass area. Spyro must travel up an air current and glide to a grassy field above the cave entrance. From there, Spyro can find the thief with the first Dragon Egg.
2	Town Square	After Spyro rescues the dragon Alvar, he must turn and then jump onto an elevated ledge to the right. Spyro must then glide while staying close to the right wall. He eventually lands on a grass ledge around the corner. There Spyro can find the second thief, whom he must chase after.
3	Peace Keepers (home world)	Beside the portal to the Doctor Shemp level is a cannon, which Spyro must aim and fire a cannonball at a rock with a red target on it. The resulting cannonball reveals a platform, which Spyro must jump from and glide over to the desert area in the distance (over the gap). The third thief is found in an alcove.
4	Cliff Town	Located near the dragon Halvor.
5	Dry Canyon	From the start, Spyro must take a narrow path on the left. There is a thief hiding in an alcove.
6	Magic Crafters (home world)	Spyro must go into a blue tunnel ahead from where the Balloonist is. By proceeding down, Spyro can find a thief within a junction. The thief has a short loop, and Spyro must quickly charge and burn the thief before it jumps onto an unreachable ledge. If this happens, Spyro must leave the area, then turn around and re-enter the junction, where the thief awaits him in the same spot.
7		After going through the tunnel with the first thief, Spyro returns outside. He can find the second thief in a grassy, circular area.
8	High Caves	When Spyro goes to supercharge across the gap, he must take a sharp right turn in midair and aim for the distant, grassy field. The thief is on top of the ramp in the area.
9		After the cave with the supercharge ramp is a bridge that leads to another chamber. Spyro must go to the bridge's mid-section, then face right at two ledges which lead into respective chambers. Spyro must first glide to the nearest ledge and then to the second ledge, which has the thief.
10	Alpine Ridge	At the Return Home portal, Spyro must face the large, open area that he is in. He must glide east of the Explosive Chests and into a cave entrance, which has the thief.
11	Wizard Peak	When Spyro reaches the second supercharge ramp, he must charge down and then up the ramp directly ahead. After building up momentum, Spyro must quickly jump and glide to the island ahead. A thief is behind the wall.
12		The thief is around the pool in the same area as the dragon Lucas and the Return Home portal. Spyro can jump across the pool and attack the thief to obtain its Dragon Egg.
