- “Big enemies like this Guh-norc with a club cannot be charged, but a quick flame, that should defeat them.”
- —Darius
Darius is an Artisans dragon who resides in Dark Hollow. In Spyro the Dragon, he instructs Spyro on how to take down large enemies; not by charging, but by flaming. He is notable for being one of few characters in the original game to pronounce the "G" in "Gnorc".

Trivia[]
- In the demo, Darius is just text and his dialogue is different: "Big enemies cannot be charged, but there are other ways to defeat them. Use your wits and don't forget your flame."
- In the Reignited Trilogy, he no longer mispronounces the word "Gnorc".
- His inspiration of being a poet must have come from William Shakespeare's Hamlet play, in particular, the famous scene where the titular character is seen holding the skull of Yorick in one hand, reciting "Alas poor Yorick...".
