The Dragon Village is a realm in the Dragon Kingdom which mainly serves as the "Tutorial Level" in Spyro: A Hero's Tail. It is basically an Eastern European-based village in the hills. It includes the Dragon nursery, Moneybags' main shop and the Professor's lab.
The first Dragon Elder, Tomas, teaches Spyro how to destroy the poisonous dark gems by using the horn dive here. Sgt. Byrd's Island Speedway is in Dragon Village. It later makes a reappearance in Spyro: Shadow Legacy, albeit in a different style.
