The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon The following covers Étranges Libellules's take on the storyline, which starts out slightly different with the Grublins finding Spyro, Cynder and Sparx instead of Hunter (who was previously seen in the post-credits scene of The Eternal Night discovering the time crystal).Īs three years passed, Hunter secretly followed a group of Grublins through the ruins of the Mountain of Malefor where they lead him to where Spyro and Cynder were encased in crystal. His search for them would last three years, all the while the cheetah warrior witnessed Malefor's reign over the world when the dark dragon was revived. As the camera pans out, Hunter was revealed to be watching over the crystal.īetween The Eternal Night and Dawn of the DragonĪfter the Night of Eternal Darkness, Hunter was sent by Ignitus to find Spyro and Cynder when they didn't return to the Dragon Temple. The Chronicler was speaking to Spyro, who was trapped in the time crystal with Cynder and Sparx within the remains of the Mountain of Malefor.
Hunter wasn't mentioned again and didn't make an appearance until the last scene of the game after the credits. It is presumed that Hunter escaped when the Arena came under attack by Gaul's aerial forces. During his imprisonment, Hunter sent a letter to the young dragon, delivered by Mole-Yair, warning him of the dark times ahead and reassuring Spyro that he has allies. Like Spyro, the cheetah warrior had been captured and forced to fight in the Arena. Hunter was first mentioned when Spyro was on board Skabb's flying arena ship, the Fellmuth Arena. Hunter of Avalar discovering the Time Crystal that contained Spyro, Cynder and Sparx Story The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night Hunter also has pet falcons that he uses to send messages to inhabitants who live in great distances. Much like his original Spyro counterpart, he is a skilled archer, and by using this skill, he aids Spyro and Cynder during their battle against the Grublins, usually firing his arrows from a safe distance. While leading Spyro and Cynder to safety, Hunter is shown to be extremely agile, leaping across large gaps and scaling up steep cliffs. Additionally, in comparison to his counterpart from the original series, Hunter is far more mature, serious and intelligent, possessing something of a no-nonsense demeanor. The cheetah warrior is also fascinated by the Dragons, who are notable for their ability to restore their strength from the Spirit Gems. He chose to help fight alongside the Dragons in the battle against Malefor and his army instead of staying neutral. Unlike the other members of his normally reclusive clan, Hunter is a different soul. Unlike his previous character design by Krome Studios, Hunter has four fingers. He has short red sleeves on his elbows and the lower part of his arms he wears a hooded coat with a reddish cape pinned to it by a badge bearing a triple yin-yang symbol. In his redesign by Étranges Libellules in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Hunter's spots were changed to ringlets with stripes on his forehead and has more pointed ears. While his left arm is bare, the entirety of Hunter's right arm is seemingly covered in metallic material. He carries a bow in his right hand, and a quiver on his back filled with arrows over top of his cloak. He resembles his original Spyro counterpart in spots, and has three-fingered hands.
In his original Krome Studios design, we were only given a back view of Hunter's appearance. Veronique Meignaud's revised sketch of Yan Le Pon's Hunter of Avalar Appearance Krome Studios
