Avalar is a world present in the Spyro series that first appeared in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and later makes a reappearance in Spyro: Shadow Legacy. Avalar later reappears in its remake in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Original Series
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
Avalar is the home of allies Elora, Hunter, the Professor and Zoe. It was threatened by Ripto in Ripto's Rage, but when Ripto was defeated by Spyro, everything returned to normal. Avalar is composed of three major homeworlds, each containing several portals to other realms:
NOTE: Speedways are italic while boss realms are bold.
Upon entering, each homeworld will be adorned with banners showing Ripto's face, which symbolize his conquest of said world. Once the boss in each world is defeated, the banners return to their regular blue-green pattern. Because of the situation with the banner, it is unknown how much control is held over the realms before Spyro arrived.
The inhabitants of Avalar are peaceful (except in the cases of Breeze Harbor and Zephyr), and got quite bothered when Ripto started causing chaos.
Spyro: Shadow Legacy
In "Shadow Legacy," all residents of Avalar were trapped in the Shadow Realm by the Calamity and were saved by Spyro. Spyro later fights the Fire Minion within a Shadow Amplifier machine in Avalar.
The homeworlds of Avalar don't appear in Shadow Legacy, but one of its levels made an appearance.
