Byrd the flying penguin, Bentley the yeti, and Agent 9 the monkey. There they meet many new allies, which are also playable characters - Sheila the kangaroo, Sgt. Spyro, Sparx, and Hunter must follow her down a rabbit hole to the Forgotten Realms on the other side of the world.

This event takes place every twelve years. The dragons are celebrating the coming of dragon eggs. Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon ( 2000) is the last game developed by Insomniac Games before the series got a different developer. The game introduces some new movements which Spyro can do to advance in his quest, including swimming, climbing, and head-butting. In this episode of the series, the small dragon also meets a number of new allies, including the Professor, Hunter the cheetah, Elora the fawn, and Zoe the fairy, and must face Ripto and his henchmen, Crush and Gulp, two other dinosaurs who are not very smart. Spyro was looking forward to having some rest but instead is dragged into a new adventure. Spyro and Sparx accidentally stumble upon the realm of Avalar, where the antagonist, Ripto (a tiny, mean dinosaur with a magic staff), is taking over the once-peaceful lands. It was released on the Playstation in 1999. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! is the sequel to Spyro the Dragon.
