An elder dragon named Ignitus reveals that Spyro's homeland has fallen under the control of the Dark Master and his minion, an evil black dragon named Cynder. It turns out that the truth is not pretty. Spyro is determined to find out more about his birthplace and his parents, and with Sparx by his side he sets off in search of the truth. Realizing they can hide the truth no longer, Spyro's "parents" reveal to him that they aren't his birth parents, and that he's not a dragonfly-he is in fact, a dragon. After Spyro saves the day by breathing fire for the first time, the pair returns home, where they tell their parents about what happened. One day, as Spyro and his dragonfly friend Sparx are roaming through the woods, they run into trouble and Sparx is captured. He's cute, he's cuddly, and he's in yet another disappointing game. Both children and adults alike will have a hard time getting excited about the uninspired level design, bland script, and repetitive nature of the gameplay. Spyro's got some new moves and the characters are brought to life by some big-name voice talent, but these aren't enough to make the game interesting. After a two-year break, Spyro is back with The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning. But mascots don't die-they just start over. 2004's A Hero's Tail improved upon Enter the Dragonfly, but it wasn't a great game either, and many felt the series had run its course. The transition from the PlayStation to the current generation of consoles has not been kind to Spyro, and the series hit rock bottom with 2002's dismal Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. It might be hard to believe for anyone who has played a Spyro the Dragon game recently, but in the late 1990s, the little purple dragon was the star of some of the better platform games on the original PlayStation.
