SAVE THE WORLD FOR DRAGONS!
In the beginning, the five Dragon families lived in their five Dragon Worlds in harmony. Their lives were happy and peaceful... until the day a Gnorc broke the rules!
Gnasty Gnorc was an unpleasant creature from the bottom of his dirty boots to the top of his unwashed head. He wasn't pretty, and his personality combined the short temper of a gnome and the bad attitude of an orc!
Gnasty resented the happy Dragon families. More than anything, he detested their beautiful, shiny jewels, which were not only nice to look at, but showed him reflections of his own ugly mug every time he did so. Gnasty became such a problem that he was banished to the Dragon junkyard. This was a world the Dragons weren't fond of, though it suited Gnasty just fine. He renamed it Gnasty's World as soon as he got there.
Gnasty began to fool around with magic spells. After a while, he hit on the two he wanted: a giant spell to trap all the Dragons in crystal, and a potion to animate those radiant gems and turn them into Gnorc soldiers.
On a nice sunny day, Gnasty crystallized all the Dragons then turned all the gems he could find into his willing minions. He even began turning the Dragon Worlds into Gnorc Worlds! But the one little detail he didn't count on was Spyro the Dragon. Spyro just happened to be playing hooky - again - and missed getting crystallized by Gnasty's spell. Now Spyro, the only unfrozen Dragon, must travel the six worlds - including Gnasty's industrial world - releasing all the Dragons and collecting their stolen treasure. In the meantime, Gnasty's minions are doing their best to stop him. Not that Spyro is without friends.... the Dragons he releases give him hints, and all along the way he is accompanied by Sparx the Dragonfly, his best friend. What seems like a fun time flaming Gnorcs soon turned into the adventure of Spyro's young life. When he meets Gnasty Gnorc for the final conflict, his destiny can truly be fulfilled! Go get 'em, Spyro! WORLDS
ARTISANS
This family of Dragons provides the world with artifacts of culture and beauty. They write songs, create sculptures and paintings and are the most gentle of all the Dragon families.
They are very social beings and enjoy getting together for group singing and art viewings among the lush, rolling hills and green valleys of their home.
MAGIC CRAFTERS
Dragons of this Family spend their time making magic artifacts used by all the Dragons throughout the rest of the worlds. They are shy around other creatures and like to be alone.
They can be very happy in their remote mountaintops, ice cliffs and caves, studying their craft in peace.
PEACE KEEPERS
These large, powerful Dragons enforce order throughout the world. They are the strongest of all the Dragon families, and know the most about battling their enemies.
They live in the desert sand dunes, tar pits and ice-caves and are always on the lookout for any creatures breaking the peace.
BEAST MAKERS
These Dragons are responsible for bringing forth all new species of creatures living in the world. They choose to live in swamps, in tumble-down wood platforms, on stilts in the mud flats and in hollowed-out trees in the thick forests.
Here they can find natural clay, roots and other materials to do their work.
