Byrd Barracks is an area in Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs. It is inhabited by penguins who worked with Sgt. James Byrd. Spyro can be access the realm from Dragon Shores - Dragon Coast Region. Upon entering the level, it's required that the Super Ice Breath and upgraded wind breath is attained in order to navigate the region. It's occupied with freezable shallow waters and walrus which are used to create platforms to get further into the level. A Sgt. Byrd Recuse Mission is also available here.
Description[]
The region is an ice and snowy realm similarly to Yeti Serengeti. However, unlike the former level, it's consists of shallow waters which uses the Super Ice Breath to create bridges to get from island to island. This is most notable from entering the H.Q Perimeter. Also, before getting to that region, you are instructed by an fellow penguin solider who to use the Ice Breath to create ice bridges. The region is full of watchtowers and walrus which inhabit it's waters which can be frozen to create temporary platforms. Spyro can his wind breath to steer the platform in a general direction, but they can be broken if he crashes into an iceberg or waits on the platform for too long.
The second region, Camp Headquarters is consist of many small islands which are scattered across the map. The section has many watchtowers and boxes containing used bombs implanted into the snow. The most notable feature of the level, is the huge and presumably dead fish which is used as platform to reach Capt. Beak. The fellow captain which grants you the quest to collect all of Sgt Byrd's medals. Also, it's one of two levels which contains a flight mission, the second level being Cheetah Spot Spa

- It's the only level which makes most use of the Super Ice Breath ability. After that, it's used very sparingly and only to create bridges to other realms.
