'''Nestor''' is an [[Artisans|Artisan]] [[dragon]] who appeared in ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]''. He is the leader of the Artisans. Once freed from his [[Crystal Dragon|crystal prison]], Nestor tells [[Spyro]] his objective to reach the [[Peace Keepers]] world, and firmly instructs the young dragon to find captive dragons first before going after [[Gnasty Gnorc]].

In the original game, Nestor is a green dragon with light brown frills, a pair of white horns, and lime-green eyes. He shares the same character model as [[Nils]] and [[Lindar]].

In the ''[[Spyro Reignited Trilogy]]'', Nestor is a carpenter<ref>''[https://twitter.com/FromHappyRock/status/1020661428708159488 I thought of him as an artful carpenter- overseeing the craftsmanship of the castles and buildings!]''. (Date Posted - July 21, 2018). ''[https://twitter.com Twitter]''.</ref>, and bears a strong resemblance to his original design.

==Trivia==
===Original Game===
*Nestor is the only dragon whose dialogue cannot be skipped upon being freed.
*His dialogue in both pre-release demos and all known prototype versions was spoken a lot faster and a little different from the final: ''"Thank you for releasing me! Free the dragons in the Artisan's world, then seek out the balloonist; he'll transport you to the next world"'', and, ''"That's all I can tell you."''
*In the original game, Nestor shares the same character model as [[Nils]], with the exception of both having different scaly underbellies.

===Reignited Trilogy===
*In the reveal trailer for the ''Spyro Reignited Trilogy'', Nestor had a different character model that wore a turban and jewelry. He was eventually redesigned during development an unknown amount of times before being finalized.<ref>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20220330010459/https://twitter.com/FromHappyRock/status/1020654274194345984 Spyro Reignited Trilogy - Nestor]''. (Date Posted - July 21, 2018). ''[https://twitter.com Twitter]''.</ref> His old design featured in the ''Reignited'' reveal trailer notably received fan criticism for being a far cry from his original character design. It would eventually be used for [[Oswin]]’s redesign in the final version of ''Reignited'', only slightly changed.
