“It has begun...”
    —Hunter of Avalar

Hunter (ハンター Hantā in Japanese), also known as Hunter of Avalar, is a skilled Cheetah warrior from the Valley of Avalar in The Legend of Spyro series. He is a member of the cheetah clan who are settled in the Valley and seems to have some sort of rivalry with the clan's chief, Prowlus.

Appearance

Hunter retains his colors, his bow and arrow from his Original Spyro counterpart, but he now has ringlets instead of spots, stripes on his forehead and more pointed ears. He has gotten taller and he also wears a hooded coat with a reddish cape pinned to it with a yin-yang symbol.

Personality

Unlike the other members of his clan, Hunter chose to help fight alongside the Dragons in the battle against Malefor and his army instead of staying neutral in the war. He possesses a lot of faith in Spyro, whom he strongly believes is the last hope to stopping Malefor for good, and also trusts Cynder since Ignitus has faith in her as well despite the cheetah warrior being aware of her dark past. Hunter's alliance with the dragons puts him in conflict with his clan chief, Prowlus, who strongly distrusts dragons due to Malefor and Cynder when she was under the latter's control. He is also fascinated by the dragons, who are notable for their ability to restore their strength through the use of the Spirit Gems.

Abilities

While leading Spyro and Cynder to safety, Hunter is shown to be extremely agile, leaping across large gaps and scaling up steep cliffs. Much like his original Spyro counterpart, he is a skilled archer, and by using this skill, he aids Spyro and Cynder during their battle against the Grublins, usually firing his arrows from a safe distance.

Hunter also has pet falcons, which he uses to send messages to inhabitants who live in great distances.

Story

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

Hunter was first mentioned in The Eternal Night when Spyro was aboard Skabb's flying arena ship, the Fellmuth Arena. Like Spyro, he had been captured and forced to fight in the Arena, and sent a letter to the young dragon, delivered by Mole-Yair, warning him of the dark times ahead and reassuring Spyro that he has allies. It was most likely that Hunter escaped when the Arena was under attack by Gaul's aerial forces.

Hunter isn't mentioned again and didn't make an appearance until the last scene of the game after the credits. The Chronicler is speaking to Spyro, who is trapped in the time crystal with Cynder and Sparx within the remains of the Mountain of Malefor. As the camera pans out, Hunter is revealed to be watching over the crystal.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

Capture 2(32)

Hunter as he appears in Dawn of the Dragon

In Dawn of the Dragon, it is revealed that Hunter was sent by Ignitus to find Spyro and Cynder when they didn't return to the Dragon Temple three years ago. He was first seen following a group of Grublins through the ruins of the Mountain of Malefor where they lead him to where Spyro and Cynder were encased in crystal. After the grublins chained Spyro and Cynder and dragged them away to the Catacombs, Hunter emerges from the shadows and checks on Sparx, who was left behind and was beginning to wake up. He successfully finds Spyro and Cynder in the catacombs, and after saving them from the Golem, informs the two dragons that they had been trapped in their crystal for three years. Realizing the danger in staying in the catacombs, Hunter escorts them to Twilight Falls to make their way to the dragon city Warfang. On their first night in the Enchanted Forest, Hunter sends out a falcon to Ignitus and the other Guardians to tell the news that he has found Spyro and Cynder. Afterwards, Hunter explains to Spyro and Cynder about the dark times that is currently happening since Malefor returned shortly after they disappeared at the Well of Souls. However, before Hunter could explain more, they are all rendered unconscious by hidden attackers and they awaken to find themselves held captive in the Cheetah Village by the village's leader, Chief Prowlus.

Hunter is scolded for bringing dragons and dangers into the Valley of Avalar, but Hunter defends his actions and reminds Prowlus that Spyro is the only hope to defeat Malefor and that the dangers were already around them. When the village comes under attack by grublins, Prowlus reluctantly releases the dragons but refuses to allow Hunter to go when the Grublins are fended off. He isn't released until Spyro and Cynder recover a missing member of the village, Meadow, and Prowlus apologizes to Hunter for his actions. Prowlus offers Hunter the use of the forbidden passageway to reach Warfang, and in return, Hunter offers an invitation to Prowlus that he is welcome to join them at any time.

Upon arrival at Warfang, Hunter and the dragons find that the City is under siege by Malefor's army and when they set out to find Ignitus, Hunter is separated from Spyro and Cynder. He waits in the courtyard by the city gates and whilst the rest of the cheetah villagers arrive to attack the army from outside the city. Hunter is then attacked by a Troll that manages to break through the city gate. When Spyro and Cynder finally meet back up with Hunter, they kill the Troll and they watch as Malefor's army retreats.

However, their victory is short lived when the Golem from the Catacombs returned and attacks the city. Hunter tells Spyro and Cynder to take cover and heads out to help destroy the Golem. It's unknown what exactly he does to accomplish that, but when Spyro and Cynder finally do destroy the Golem, Hunter is present to hear Malefor's plan and witnesses the resurrection of the Destroyer. Hunter and the rest of the cheetah warriors accompany the dragons through the underground passages to stop the Destroyer, and when that fails, he helps by sending his falcons to the outer regions to send the message of telling the inhabitants there to move underground where they may be safe.

Hunter is last seen emerging from the underground city after Spyro reconstructed the shattered world. He is in awe of the sights around him, and along with the others, looks to the skies to watch a group of stars form a constellation of a dragon.
