Dragon Eggs are eggs that hatch into dragons in The Legend of Spyro series.

Story

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Dragon eggs made a brief appearance in the prologue of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. During the Year of the Dragon, a brood of eggs were kept at the Dragon Temple to protect them from the forces of the Dark Master. Among them was the egg of the next purple dragon, Spyro. It was then that the Dark Armies launched an attack on the Temple to destroy all of the eggs to prevent Spyro from being born. Ignitus rescued Spyro's egg and safely sent it down a stream, hoping for the best.

By the time Ignitus returned to the temple, the other Guardians were overpowered by the Apes, who proceeded to smash all of the other dragon eggs except for one: Cynder's egg. She was taken by the Ape King Gaul to be corrupted by the Dark Master, who required a dragon born from the Year of the Dragon to open a gateway to his prison in Convexity. Combined with the war's aftermath, a corrupted Cynder was on the hunt, steadily purging the dragon race. As a result, dragons eggs were becoming rare.[1]

Trivia

  • Jared Pullen, lead concept artist of A New Beginning and The Eternal Night speculates that dragon eggs could take decades to hatch, even longer if the time isn't right and that they could incubate safely until a timely opportunity presents itself. During development, while building Spyro's possible relation to Ignitus and Malefor, Jared and the team reasoned that maybe Spyro's egg was laid a very long time ago, while Malefor was still free and kicking around. Then it lay still through the time of turmoil and upheaval, and right through the dragon purges until Ignitus released it down river in A New Beginning. It was 'waiting for destiny' to find the time of hatching. This was never fleshed out however, and most on the team preferred Ignitus as Spyro's father, which also wasn't panned out in the final versions of The Legend of Spyro.[1]
    • There were plans for a subsequent plot about potential surviving eggs and hatchling characters, but Krome Studios never got past the design phase to flesh them out.[1]
