- “Do you have such little respect for our laws, that you formed an alliance with the very ones who caused all of our misfortunes?”
- —Chief Prowlus
Chief Prowlus is the clan chief of the Cheetah Village in the Valley of Avalar, appearing in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
Personality
Chief Prowlus is very distrustful of Dragons, or anything outside the valley for that matter. He blames the Dragon race for the misfortunes that happened upon his clan thanks to Malefor and a corrupted Cynder. He is strict, strong and very leery, wanting his village to be safe from the outside world and the villagers to follow the laws placed to protect it. Prowlus also seems to have an intense rivalry with Hunter, who went against his village laws to join the Dragons to fight Malefor. Despite this, he is willing to admit his wrongdoings, as shown when Chief Prowlus apologizes to Hunter for imprisoning him and to Meadow for not choosing to help him right away.
Story
History
Prowlus is the current leader of the cheetah tribe. In the past, he had heard the story of Malefor's history and how the Dragon race brought misfortunes upon the clan. To ensure the safety of the village, Prowlus placed strict laws for his fellow cheetahs to follow in order to protect their home from the outside world.
When Cynder came to power while under Malefor's influence, this increased Prowlus's mistrust of Dragons.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon
After Hunter took Spyro and Cynder to safety in Twilight Falls, he, Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx were captured by the cheetahs and taken to the Cheetah Village. There, Hunter was scolded by Chief Prowlus, who blamed the Dragons for causing his clan's misfortunes and accused Hunter for bringing the dangers of the outside world with him. However Hunter defended his actions by reminding Prowlus that Spyro was the last hope of saving the world from Malefor, and that the dangers were already around them. When the village came under attack by Grublins, Chief Prowlus reluctantly released Spyro and Cynder to let them help fight the Grublins off. However he refused to allow Hunter to accompany Spyro and Cynder afterwards when they volunteered to find the missing member of the village, Meadow.
After Spyro and Cynder recovered Meadow, Prowlus apologized to Meadow and Hunter for his actions. He then offered Hunter the use of the Forbidden Tunnel to reach Warfang, and in return, Hunter offered an invitation to Chief Prowlus that he was welcome to join them at any time. During the siege of Warfang, Chief Prowlus led his tribe into battle against Malefor's army outside the city walls. It is unknown whether he survived and if he and Hunter ever resolved their differences.

Trivia
- Chief Prowlus shares a similar story arc with Kasi, a cheetah from Spyro: Shadow Legacy; both are cheetahs who share similarities in blaming Spyro, who is a purple dragon, for causing troubles to their tribe. Kasi, being the temporary leader of the cheetahs at the time in the Savannah, threw Spyro in jail for supposedly bringing the Shadow Realm to their home, and puts Hunter behind bars as well for defending his purple companion. This plot is very identical to the story when Chief Prowlus puts Spyro in chains for being part of the race who brought misfortunes to his clan, and tied up Hunter of Avalar for siding with the Dragons.
- Despite appearing to have something to hold his sword on his back, when one looks behind Chief Prowlus after saving the cheetah village, there is nothing holding his sword and instead it floats.
