Dark Gems are different from the [[Spirit Gems]] dragons use to restore their strength, taking on a more dark and sinister, twisting formation. Instead of recovering your status, they suck out your magic power, and because of this, it is advised that one should avoid or quickly destroy them as much as possible. |

Spyro standing before a Dark Gem
Dark Gems have only appeared in two games, Spyro: A Hero's Tail and The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, and in both games, represent part of the evil side by negatively affecting the game.
Spyro: A Hero's Tail
The Dark Gem they look like purple gems that sprout from the ground, with small bolts of electricity spurting from them. They are always surrounded by a dark patch of ground with some tentacles sprouting from the ground, purple goo substance, and a sinister atmosphere around it. These features are also the result of the environment's life being sucked out by the dark gems. They are larger versions of Dark Shards, but instead of just giving you some collectable gems (which are used to buy items at Moneybags' store), the Dark Gems simply remove some enviornmental hazards or blockages caused by the life-draining power of the gems, and help you move on to previously unreachable areas.
The only way that the Dark Gems can be destroyed is by doing a Horn Dive, which you learn by talking to the first Dragon Elder, Tomas, in the Dragon Village. The Dark Gems are very important to the game, since it is necessary to destroy all 10 dark gems in each world to fight the boss for that world and advance to the next one. In this process, you can destroy a total of 40 dark gems in the game.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon
Dark Gems are different from the Spirit Gems dragons use to restore their strength, taking on a more dark and sinister, twisting formation. Instead of recovering your status, they suck out your magic power, and because of this, it is advised that one should avoid or quickly destroy them as much as possible.
