To BJ
They told you a little bit about him in eternal night that he was the first purple dragon, he controlled kinds of elements, but he used them 4 evil and was banished by the dragon elders and build his army of apes to get revenge on the dragon family and succeeded then after him came spyro and ignitus and the others help him stop the dark master.

This may sound strange, but I think there may be a back story to the Dark Master like there was with Cynder. Malefor may even become a good guy just like Cynder. Of course, we can't be to sure, but we may find some juicy details of what made the Dark Master so twisted.

Meaning it will be neither E or M.

To BJ and everybody else,
The cover looks E10, but the game looks T. So I say there's a 70% chance the game will be T rated, and a 30% chance the game will be E10. ESRB will straight it out, but all I know is the game will be no higher than T (everybody should know unless lots of blood and extreme dragon love will be n da game, FORGET I SAID THAT!!!!!) and no lower than E10.

Ay Between Hero's Tail and Dawn of the Dragon. Those r the best 2 Spyro covers i've seen. I like the Hero's Tail cover cause it looks like a graffiti mural of the characters and I am a big fan of graffiti, I dont care if its illeagal I love me some graffiti. DotD I like that cover cause it has da 2 attacking the beast that we'll see n da game and it has a little graffiti in it 2.
