i always though that the chronicler was almost like a god, watching over the world and stuff. when ignitus died, i was like, freaking out cos he was my fave. i can't tell you peeps how relieved i was to see him be the next chronicler...

At the end Ignitus tell Spyro that when a dragon dies he does not truly leave the world and that his spirit still lives on.

I suppose that could happen.....I really need to finish Dotd lol
Still havnt, but now that I know this I'll do my best to watch closely through out the game to see what EXACTLY happens.

P.s I admit, yes I havnt finished Dotd, and I have looked up videos for the end of the game, I'm such a spoiler to myself lol.

he becasme the chronocler becasue he was wise and nouble inough to save spyro and cynders life, so the real chronocler handed the job over to ignitus, in witch he is still searching for him and cynder. at least thats what I think. smilie
