Gnorcs are squat, unintelligent creatures who first appeared in Spyro the Dragon. They vary in appearance—some resemble and sound like frogs and toads, while others look more like trolls and goblins. The most notable Gnorc is Gnasty Gnorc. The most common Gnorc skin color is green, but they can also come in yellow, blue, pink, brown, purple and orange colors.

Most Gnorcs, Gnasty Gnorc in particular, notably have personalities that combined the short temper of a gnome and the bad attitude of an orc.[1]

Story

Spyro the Dragon

In the first installment of the series, the only real Gnorc seen was Gnasty Gnorc, who created all the other Gnorcs from gems using his magic and used them as his military soldiers in his conquest of the Dragon Realms.

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

In the sequel game, Gnorcs made a cameo as friendly characters in Dragon Shores, where they are the attendants of each of the rides/games, apparently now reformed after the defeat of Gnasty. One is named Gniles.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Gnorcs appeared again as enemies in Spyro: A Hero's Tail when Gnasty Gnorc returned under the command of the disgraced Dragon Elder, Red. Gnorcs are featured in almost every homeworld and area. After their leader was defeated by Spyro again, they continued to serve under Red under the threat of being killed or enslaved. It was revealed in Red's Laboratory that Red had converted most of the Gnorcs into improved robot forms with the help of the captured Professor. They have not reappeared since.
