Ok, so Easter is coming up in, like, a few hours. There could have been a couple things I could have done around "eggs" and such, but I settled on the thought of Spyro being on the mind and I remember....YEAH!

Ok, so back when Spyro wasn't "The One" or when he supposedly "grew double the size with a girlfriend while in a stasis field that would have prevented that anyway"....he was facing down Gnasty Gnorc (who's the mother that named that guy?), Ripto (some horned-dino-or-ugly-unicorn-gone-wrong dude), and the Sorceress (another dino,...thing).

For the first two, Spyro was mainly taking down the opposition. In the last one though...he had a sorta side-mission that was essentially the MAIN THING he had to do. Taking down Ms. Wand-shaker became more a thing on the "to-do-list".
That thing was retrieving a mountain-worth of dragon eggs that were stolen.
I remember playing this a long time ago and yes, I got every one, including the special ones and the last one. It was a fun task to do and considering Spyro wasn't alone in the effort, you'd finally see what his posse could do as well. To me, it was the best of the "original trio" of his starting adventures. Multiple characters, lost of worlds, lots to collect, the feeling of reward to both goal-reacher and looter alike!

Now, that's the "game" that was made. So how WAS it actually for Spyro in reality? Let's face it, the guy is barely twice the size and maybe not too much older. Actually, I think the only reason he was tasked in the first place was because he was small enough to fit through a dimensional hole.
So, finding these eggs is easy or difficult depending on how to get them. Once you do, they immediately hatch and are...teleported back to the Dragon Realms if I recall...
Now how's THAT? These kid-dragons probably have no idea what's going on, but then get freed by someone not too much bigger than them. When the full story's told, they might not believe it. Even further down the line, these little guys might start getting BIGGER than Spyro himself.

So...anyway, I was playing around with the Year of the Dragon holograms to see what would happen. Yeah, Spyro was in there at the time resting (or taking a nap, depending on how you want to see it). When he woke up, he was in Sunrise Spring surrounded by a couple of the dragons he'd saved.

Naturally...they have a couple questions or concerns with their once-savior....and that's JUST three out ONE-HUNDRED AND FIFTY ONE!
