Bluto is a Rhynoc found in the Seashell Shore in Spyro: Year of the Dragon. He was a mini-boss that Spyro fought to get the dragon egg, Jackie. Bluto used a mechanical shark submarine to fight Spyro. When Spyro defeated him, Smelt the Seal said that it was the first time that Bluto had ever been defeated. However, not much is known about him apart from this.
Battle[]
During Bluto's battle, Spyro is on a boat with a cannon. To hit Bluto, you have to shoot him with the cannon on your boat while you dodge Bluto's shark submarine. Besides launching torpedoes out of the shark's mouth, he will also have it chomp repeatedly and chase after Spyro's speedboat for a short time. When low on torpedoes, he will have his shark submarine swim over to one of the ammo boxes and eat it. After a little bit, Bluto will come out of his submarine and when he does he can't attack. When he's low on HP, he can repair his sub giving him an extra HP. When he is defeated, his sub will blow up and you won't see him again.
Trivia[]
- Bluto is likely named after the character Bluto from Popeye.
- It's stated if Spyro lost, he and Smelt would have to spend a month serving kitchen patrol for Bluto, and Smelt already owed 7 years of kitchen duty to Bluto, meaning Bluto won 84 consecutive battles before his defeat.
- Bluto's shark submarine bears a resemblance to the Robot Sharks seen exclusively in Aquaria Towers in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!.
- In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, Bluto's shark submarine is the same model as the Robot Sharks from the Reignited version of Ripto's Rage!.
