Sunken Ruins is a realm in the Lost Cities homeworld in Spyro: A Hero's Tail. It is a sunken city complete with aquatic creatures and enemy aquatic Gnorcs. The state of the hidden city is in disarray, but statues show its ancient history was not that of Dragons, but of Gnorcs. It is accessible via a green lift/elevator in the western part of Coastal Remains. It also has a few elements of Ancient Greek architecture.
There is also a friendly mermaid named Lily (who mistook Spyro for being a Sea Dragon), which also suggests this realm has friendly sentient beings and not just Gnorcs.
It also features the invincibility powerup, which you can activate once you have at least 24 Light Gems.
