They were so thorough with the designs of each individual dragon that nit-picking them makes you appreciate their detail. There's so much creativity it's impressive
@@ToridoriGaming I also think that cowbell choker and his bull-like horns, along with the rattlesnake tail, are supposed to give Boris a "western" look. I see him, and I can tell he's an Animal Wrangler-like Cowboy-ish persona.
Perhaps what they’re going for with the whole “Spyro is the only one on all fours” thing is that older dragons are strong enough to be bipedal? In addition to animating them a bit more. I dunno; I agree with you, though.
Yeah, I figured that's kinda how it's supposed to be: dragons become bipedal as they get older. Spyro, being a young dragon, hasn't gotten to "bipedal stage" yet. This thought process is backed up by the fact that one of the artists that worked on this game did a picture of Spyro grown up. In the picture Spyro is bipedal like the other dragons and he has a kind of "Explorer" perhaps map maker theme about him. Which makes sense since Spyro is an artisan dragon.
I don’t think the developers put much thought into it tbh. Back in the 90s games were mainly gameplay driven and the story/lore was there just bridge the gap. There were a few story driven series like final fantasy but for most of the games at that time the story was an afterthought. It wasn’t until the 2000s that the industry started making sure that the story was a priority in games
And the lantern he:s holding is one of the Magic Traps from the Fourth game: Skylanders Trap Team. It took me three views of that guy back in November to notice that.
In the original game Zane came across as putting on a brave face. He then starts to describe the beasts and realises how scared he is of them, then when Spyro (a much smaller, younger dragon) says he isn't scared Zane is embarrassed that he is. The Reignited version is terrified from the beginning.
2:40 Remember the Sorceress's plan from Year of the Dragon? The redesign of Marco is telling us that YotD wasn't the first time she tried to pull that stunt.
@@ToridoriGaming If I remember correctly I brought that theory up in our last little chit chat on the last Dragon ranking video. Nice to see that Zander appeared in this video, he was the Dragon I was referring to.
Copano is quite high on that "tea" you're talking about Tori, especially that pause he does after his dialogue, it makes me wonder how many has he had drank.
Bad because they don't really explain it. I get that it's somewhat related to age, but no-one in the game really acknowledges it with new extra dialog. For example, Spyro enters a new homeworld, frees a dragon and says something like "Does no-one else here walk on all-fours" (Obviously worded a little more subtly and better sounding) I know it's been an issue since the original game, but an in-game explanation would be nice. :-)
jpward01 well if anything else, we did eventually get an explanation! Basically only children walk on all fours in the dragon world because their legs are too weak to lift their entire bodies, akin to a baby’s crawling mobile.twitter.com/omnidadofficial/status/1024077655430156288?lang=en Heck, we even got some art of Spyro as an adult (though it is unofficial) where he is of course a hot biped knowyourmeme.com/photos/1433848-spyro-the-dragon (you’re welcome).
Before watching video: Finally, I can see the second part of this series. OK 3 major things I want to bring up - It's funny you mention Lutalo having the genie lamp because I didn't think much about it. Because for some reason I thought Useni had some sort of Genie vibe to him because of his facial features. - I agree, Cosmos has a bit if narsacism in his tone. - I know Mudada is very popular but (and don't get upset for anyone who reads this) frankly I think he is a little wierd. The main problem I have is his voice and the way he talks to Spyro.
I can KINDA see where you're coming from, Andrew, concerning Mudada's voice... though, spare a thought and look at Mudada another way (I have, too): He's not so much "weird" as he lives in a realm that's a literal dreamworld inhabited by fairies. Not to mention Dreamweavers are naturally strange, as they represent other themes (bedtime, nighttime/moon and stars, things we find relaxing before curling up to sleep, etc.). For Mudada, he seems like a child-at-heart kind of fellow, and has a soft spot for both fairies and plush dolls (and some people sleep with plush dolls). His ways may seem "weird", to us, but he's certainly harmless, in his mannerisms: like a big kid.
Thank you Adam, and thank you for hiding the list! Had someone the other day just list out the entire of my Part 1 entries in order, no spoiler alerts or anything. Really miffed me you know? :O
@@ToridoriGaming To be honest, I actually posted this comment before I edited in the spoiler alert. But my conscience kicked in and I decided to put in the SA, as to not ruin the hard work you are giving us. Sorry about that in advance.
Your Reinhardt's hammer comment reminded me that his voice actor Darin De Paul voices a few of the dragons! I'm pretty sure it's Nestor, Boris, Cyprin, Rosco and Bubba according to his IMDb.
When you showed Bakari I actually preferred his voice in the original in fact the more I hear the new dragon voices the more I prefer the old voices if they could have mixed the original voices with the redesigns I feel that might have been better
Speaking of crystals, it's funny how Zander's original 1998 counterpart was voiced by Cortex' voice actor, Clancy Brown and that 20 years later, they would give him purple crystal wings. Is that a coincidence, or did they decide to put crystals on him as a reference to crash bandicoot, like they did with the wumpa fruit in Alpine Ridge and Mystic Marsh. Either way, it is a very cool concept.
Toridori Absolutely agree. At least they show that not all the dragons have leathery wings. Love how they gave them feathers and substitutes for wings, like Marco’s iron wing fingers, Zander’s Crystal wing fingers and Mudada’s plush wings.
Toridori Absolutely agree. At least they show that not all the dragons have leathery wings. Love how they gave them feathers and substitutes for wings, like Marco’s iron wing fingers, Zander’s Crystal wing fingers and Mudada’s plush wings.
I would also like to point out that Halvor reminds me of Dragon Heart, Zikomo reminds me of Dojo from Xiaolin Showdown and Lindar’s hair reminds me of Goku from Dragonball Z.
Well Lindar has the watches to show that he keeps track of progress and time along with his advice on saving. As for Lutalo his lamp is used to light candles, that's what lamps were created for originally not to house genies.
Spyro's interaction with Boris is awkward,I know,I know,in the original there was a pause but it's just awkward to me,the sentence would of been so much better with out a Pause. Example "I was born to gilde!"
im glad im not the only one always wondering why spyro is the only quadruped and i liked how some of the dragons in the original were on all fours- so its a shame they didnt carry that through. but i guess from a character design/animation standpoint its easier to present the character when standing up. which i get and regardless i love like all the designs in the game tbh! just would be nice to see a mix, or see dragons hinted to being capable of walking both ways?? funny though, i actually really liked TLoS because all the elder dragons were on fours lol... when i was little it made me so happy. though one of the designers of the dragons posted a drawing of a design of what he thinks spyro would look like as an adult (not official, just fanart, but still an actual designer for the game) where he was depicted on two legs. i always liked the idea that they are either capable of walking on both (two or four) or they get older and get stronger, making them capable of standing up right. of course im still bugged by Spyro anatomy if that is the case, as his anatomy in game wouldnt really work ~technically~ but ok one thing actually related to designs in the video- i was thinking when you talked about Claude, was a little disappointed to not hear more on his design bc its not the most striking but it has little details that i think are super cool! his snout look more like a beak, hes got those frills on his throat similar to birds like chicken and turkey, and he seems to be wearing a necklace with a bird skull on it. god, just seeing all these designs again while going through your video makes me wanna draw them and play again! not just their designs but their animations just add so much to the character. i may not know a single thing aside from what they say to spyro, but with all those little details, i really feel like i know a character behind them and i love that.
A Magic Trap (that I forgot the name of) from Skylanders Trap Team ---> Zikomo's lantern Also, you accidently said 48 for Jarvis when he's at 44 One more thing: Cyrus actually reminds me of Cyrus Drake from Wizard101.
Just commented on your Part 1, so figured I'd give my takes on the rankings here as well... once again, love the list! #45. Bakari - I found his voice so irritating that I would probably put him way lower, but I get the design love. #44. Jarvis - LOVED everything about him! I'd say he deserves Top 20. #43. Cyrus - That sassy eyeroll tho. Cyrus is so great compared to the other two High Caves dragons which is probably why I think of him when I think of this realm. #38. Zantor - I think the distinct voice and card trick animation makes him one of the most distinct and memorable dragons from the game. I also appreciate that he's the first dragon to give us tips on super-charge, so I'd give him a Top 20 spot. #34. Lutalo - I adore all three of the Haunted Towers dragons, so I would've put him higher. But I love your analysis of him! #33. Mudada - Something about his plush design feels... really odd to me? So I would put him quite a bit lower. #28. Useni - I am digging Useni's animations, outfit, colors, and dramatic advise-giving. I think this is about the right placement for him, but he's one of the most memorable Dream Weaver dragons for me so maybe a bit higher.
I want to see more Spyro ranking videos so badly. Or just more Spyro content in general. Wonder if there's enough variety to rank the baby dragons from Year of the Dragon?
also, something i thought about after making my last comment. i think i remember you mentioning in the last one about dragons with visible disabilities like the blind one? but ya know, something i kinda just thought about (this is admittedly more of a headcanon based on observations) theres a number of dragons with fake horns or wings... which kinda give me an idea that maybe they actually lost them! and remade them themselves. id have to assume they likely lost them, but some may have just decoded to modify their bodies for...some reason. i love how all these dragons in some sense seem pretty crafty and have their own profession/interest that goes towards their appearance and the idea that they used those skills to make prosthesis for themselves is a nice idea.
@@ToridoriGaming lololol. Yes you did, Tori. Anyways, I've been enjoying these two countdown videos you made, and I'll happily await the 3rd. Good job.
I actually really like Rosco's change! It seems to me like he was taking a nice nap in the crystal, came out, smacked his lips.... and then realized OH SH*T!
Halvor's mallet is actually a reference to Oxide from the CTR franchise. Either that or it's suppos d to be a ram and I'm an idiot, but since rams are indicative of the artisan homeworld and not peacekeepers I'm inclined to believe otherwise.
Fun fact about Zikomo (Which I noticed during my second playthrough) but his lamp is the exact model of a trap used in Skylanders. Ironic the TFB use the same models
I think my top 5 dragons in no order include Zikomo (I just LOVE that design), Titan (his scars and colors are so good!!), Halvor (his surfer dude accent is the best), Gavin (HOT BOY), and Revilo (yarn theme!!! also good longboy). Azizi is close to being up there too! Even though he doesn't say anything besides the one-liner, his design alone is one of my absolute favorites.
At 5:52 I think the older cockiness Spyro had was a bit funny looking back on it. Spyro was supposedly a little kid dragon but he had a teen/early 20s voice which makes it funny. I did love his voice from the 1998 game but like Tom Kenny more.
7:48 If this was the Legend series, he'd be one of the "super ultra important cool all powerful rare purple" dragons and also angsty as hell for some reason 9:55 and him too.. 13:35 and him..
Lindar looks like Jak in Jak and Daxter, think he is a nod to the game character [ although Jak's hair was a sort of green mix with Blonde], the aviation goggles on his head and the way his hair is styled is definitely Jak in the first game [ The Precursor Legacy ].
In my opinion Tom Kenny is far better suited to voice Spyro in Reignited than Carlos was in the original game , I always thought that was a mismatched voice back in 1998 and was glad when his voice changed in 1999 with Spyro 2.
I do think the game generally could've done more with quadrapedal dragons, especially if spyro is stuck on all 4 at all times. The elder dragons stand bipedal because.... why? If they weren't going to keep at least 1 on all 4 legs (especially when the original was explaining a charge attack) then they should've added in whether or not being a wise elder dragon has something to do with no longer on all 4. Rant about dragons: these are dragons, not a t-rex so shouldn't all 4 legs be the same length like spyro? Unless the lack of use of "arms" and heightened excuse of "legs" made them respectively different sizes since you'd definitely have bigger legs than arms if you've become bipedal and your arms don't get as much of a workout. But all these anthropomorphic dragons make spyro seem very dog-like being stuck on all 4 legs. How long will he be stuck like that? Is it like Jedi training to change your gait and carry a lantern or staff in one hand. That's another thing.... they've been given hands, while the OG had obvious paws on all 4 (or ps1 oven mits) in 1998. It's just a thought. *rant over* I still love this game &&& I appreciate the love tori gives it in these videos. I think I've found my soul sister in the spyro fandom because around my hometown, all my friends had Nintendo when I had ps1 so there weren't any friends reveling in the same love of this purple dragon. So it's neat to find that others do. Every summer since 1998, when it school and had summers off, I would be one if 2 places: in front of my tv playing spyro OR in the pool
Did Greg voice Marco? Cause he kinda sounds like Hunter P: Also, when I first saw Cosmos, I thought he was a nod to Red in Hero's Tail, with the horns, staff and general demeanor.
Am I the only one who thought Zikomo might have been a woman when I was younger? Just the way he spoke made his voice sound much more feminine than the other dragons.
One thing really disappointed me about Zikomo. This game honestly makes me wonder "Where dafuq are all the mommy dragons!?" In the original, Zikomo had the most feminine sounding voice of anyone, and actually coupd have been female in this version to call back to that fact. But, saddly, no.
Lindar: Not that *you* ever run into trouble, Spyro.
You're the one that got everyone trapped in crystal for calling Gnasty Gnorc ugly!!
Never noticed that, THATS HILARIOUS
They were so thorough with the designs of each individual dragon that nit-picking them makes you appreciate their detail. There's so much creativity it's impressive
Like Boris' rattlesnake tail, how I didn't see that before is beyond me!
@@ToridoriGaming I also think that cowbell choker and his bull-like horns, along with the rattlesnake tail, are supposed to give Boris a "western" look. I see him, and I can tell he's an Animal Wrangler-like Cowboy-ish persona.

@@Drizzle52693 Yeah Insomniac didn't have this in mind, but Toys for Bob apparently did.
Dan: Aye, but this is TfB making Reignited, as opposed to Insomniac for the originals. The original had a handful of quad-dragons aside from Spyro.
And yes, those are supposed to be Cajun accents. They sound like they're going to Mardi Gras
Now I want to watch The Princess and the Frog. 🐸
That star above Zikomo's head... is actually the Magic symbol from Skylanders.
Oh that's cool, I wouldn't know as never played them
And the lantern he:s holding is one of the Magic Traps from the Fourth game: Skylanders Trap Team.
It took me three views of that guy back in November to notice that.
in the case of Rosco I see the slow move from break to being scared is him taking a deep breath of air and then remembering the frogs.
Could be, in the original though he was scared straight away!
true true but I like giving him the reason for the delay because he is such a fun snaky boi
In the original game Zane came across as putting on a brave face. He then starts to describe the beasts and realises how scared he is of them, then when Spyro (a much smaller, younger dragon) says he isn't scared Zane is embarrassed that he is. The Reignited version is terrified from the beginning.

@@jaysonklein6018 It would make sense, some other sites say his voice suggests he is hyper and has trouble sleeping.
Boris is themed after a bull. Hence the bell and muzzle. I really liked the redesign dragons with mixed species like birds, griffins snek, metal gear
Still, a bit of an odd accessory for a dragon. 😂
The lack of quadrapeds just make Spyro stand out, and to me, that's a good AND bad thing.
Good to make him unique I suppose, bad because? Just out of curiosity. :)
Bad because they don't really explain it. I get that it's somewhat related to age, but no-one in the game really acknowledges it with new extra dialog.

funny though, i actually really liked TLoS because all the elder dragons were on fours lol... when i was little it made me so happy.
though one of the designers of the dragons posted a drawing of a design of what he thinks spyro would look like as an adult (not official, just fanart, but still an actual designer for the game) where he was depicted on two legs. i always liked the idea that they are either capable of walking on both (two or four) or they get older and get stronger, making them capable of standing up right. of course im still bugged by Spyro anatomy if that is the case, as his anatomy in game wouldnt really work ~technically~ but
ok one thing actually related to designs in the video- i was thinking when you talked about Claude, was a little disappointed to not hear more on his design bc its not the most striking but it has little details that i think are super cool! his snout look more like a beak, hes got those frills on his throat similar to birds like chicken and turkey, and he seems to be wearing a necklace with a bird skull on it.

@@ToridoriGaming Really? awhhh!, I can"t belive I missed it. Was it on youtube? I did not get a reminder from youtube.
I want to see more Spyro ranking videos so badly. Or just more Spyro content in general. Wonder if there's enough variety to rank the baby dragons from Year of the Dragon?
also, something i thought about after making my last comment. i think i remember you mentioning in the last one about dragons with visible disabilities like the blind one? but ya know, something i kinda just thought about (this is admittedly more of a headcanon based on observations) theres a number of dragons with fake horns or wings... which kinda give me an idea that maybe they actually lost them! and remade them themselves. id have to assume they likely lost them, but some may have just decoded to modify their bodies for...some reason.
i love how all these dragons in some sense seem pretty crafty and have their own profession/interest that goes towards their appearance and the idea that they used those skills to make prosthesis for themselves is a nice idea.
Boris and Jarvis are my favorites!
Sorry they weren't higher! 😅
Maximos is one of my favorites.
So this is the “I don’t like them or hate them” part?
Yep, also known as the "I'm indifferent" part, ranging into "yeah, not bad". :D
Yes, Claude's accent is Cajun. Maybe a tiny bit Creole (though I could be wrong)?
Yay, I got something right with accents!
@@ToridoriGaming lololol. Yes you did, Tori. Anyways, I've been enjoying these two countdown videos you made, and I'll happily await the 3rd. Good job.
3:49 key to that artisans door perhaps?
That would be interesting! Was there ever anything behind that door? I never got to 100% all 3 games as Spyro 3 glitched on me. :(
Toridori
Yeah, disappointing... it never opens. I imagine it’ll be for a future DLC, and hopefully free like crash’s dlc was
Fingers crossed!
Was waiting for this!! 😁
Yay! Sorry it took so long though.. 😅
@@ToridoriGaming awesome work as always 😁 was worth the wait. Can't wait for part 3
Wonder what people will think of the last part, got some firm favourites in there!
@@ToridoriGaming i'm really looking forward to hear your comments about the sexy eye-patched fetish dragon in peacemakers 😂
OOOF
Thank you for releasing this video.
Maybe Boris has a bit of a “kink ” .
Oh ho ho... ;)
Maybe he's a bovine furry but the other dragons would tease him if he made it more obvious. ;)
Sofia Shvechikova that explains the rope, maybe he like to *ahem* reward good gliders
I actually really like Rosco's change! It seems to me like he was taking a nice nap in the crystal, came out, smacked his lips.... and then realized OH SH*T!
Lol love the way you put it! 😂
At number 48 is -Sonic the Hedgehog-*Marco from Cliff Town*
Is it because he sounds like Sonic or something? Help me out here, I'm dumb. :(
@@ToridoriGaming Same voice actor (Roger Craig Smith), and the specific voice being used is only a tad deeper than the one he uses for Sonic.
Ohhh, thanks for letting me know!
Love this list 😁will part three be going up??? Can't wait
Hey Jessie! Part 3 will be up soon, I've been slacking on it as I was super busy. But should be out begining of next week. 😀
@@ToridoriGaming yay! Thank you🎉
Wait, that’s not a hammer... that’s a battering RAM!
Grond the battering ram! :O
15:30 Spyro and Lutalo's interaction is like Luke Skywalker talking to Yoda.
Average Internet Surfer too bad Yoda never said “D A R T H V A D E R” with that much venom
Number 1 dragon better be Spyro.
Uh oh...
@@ToridoriGaming Well... Thanks for the heads up.
Halvor's mallet is actually a reference to Oxide from the CTR franchise. Either that or it's suppos d to be a ram and I'm an idiot, but since rams are indicative of the artisan homeworld and not peacekeepers I'm inclined to believe otherwise.
Fun fact about Zikomo (Which I noticed during my second playthrough) but his lamp is the exact model of a trap used in Skylanders. Ironic the TFB use the same models
The star between Zikomo’s horns is also the symbol for the Magic element, and Spyro himself was a Magic Skylander in those games.
I think my top 5 dragons in no order include Zikomo (I just LOVE that design), Titan (his scars and colors are so good!!), Halvor (his surfer dude accent is the best), Gavin (HOT BOY), and Revilo (yarn theme!!! also good longboy). Azizi is close to being up there too! Even though he doesn't say anything besides the one-liner, his design alone is one of my absolute favorites.
Gavin - hot boy with hot coffee. :D
At 5:52 I think the older cockiness Spyro had was a bit funny looking back on it. Spyro was supposedly a little kid dragon but he had a teen/early 20s voice which makes it funny. I did love his voice from the 1998 game but like Tom Kenny more.
Can't wait for the last part!
:D
Wolftall niether can I.
#JusticeForTomas why their no love for Spoony Bard Dragon?
I'm sorry! 😭
Wait what?!
Commenting before watching all video
Don't watch it, Thomas... you'll be heartbroken.
7:48
If this was the Legend series, he'd be one of the "super ultra important cool all powerful rare purple" dragons
and also angsty as hell for some reason
9:55
and him too..
13:35
and him..
I gotta admit: kelvin’s bucktooth is just😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂to me.
Also, I had no idea you were a fellow Brit!
Indeed old bean!
"he's higher up cause he has teeaaaa!!"
[Dublin accent] FECKIN' TAY!!~
Lindar looks like Jak in Jak and Daxter, think he is a nod to the game character [ although Jak's hair was a sort of green mix with Blonde], the aviation goggles on his head and the way his hair is styled is definitely Jak in the first game [ The Precursor Legacy ].
Alternate title : rating dragons by passively roasting them
Would you have put Boris any higher if you noticed his rattlesnake tail before making this list?
In my opinion Tom Kenny is far better suited to voice Spyro in Reignited than Carlos was in the original game , I always thought that was a mismatched voice back in 1998 and was glad when his voice changed in 1999 with Spyro 2.
Talvor is so adorable, Im in love.
Nice video & list.🐲
Cheers! :)
I do think the game generally could've done more with quadrapedal dragons, especially if spyro is stuck on all 4 at all times. The elder dragons stand bipedal because.... why? If they weren't going to keep at least 1 on all 4 legs (especially when the original was explaining a charge attack) then they should've added in whether or not being a wise elder dragon has something to do with no longer on all 4.
Rant about dragons: these are dragons, not a t-rex so shouldn't all 4 legs be the same length like spyro? Unless the lack of use of "arms" and heightened excuse of "legs" made them respectively different sizes since you'd definitely have bigger legs than arms if you've become bipedal and your arms don't get as much of a workout. But all these anthropomorphic dragons make spyro seem very dog-like being stuck on all 4 legs. How long will he be stuck like that? Is it like Jedi training to change your gait and carry a lantern or staff in one hand. That's another thing.... they've been given hands, while the OG had obvious paws on all 4 (or ps1 oven mits) in 1998. It's just a thought. *rant over* I still love this game &&& I appreciate the love tori gives it in these videos. I think I've found my soul sister in the spyro fandom because around my hometown, all my friends had Nintendo when I had ps1 so there weren't any friends reveling in the same love of this purple dragon. So it's neat to find that others do.
Every summer since 1998, when it school and had summers off, I would be one if 2 places: in front of my tv playing spyro OR in the pool
Did Greg voice Marco? Cause he kinda sounds like Hunter P:
Also, when I first saw Cosmos, I thought he was a nod to Red in Hero's Tail, with the horns, staff and general demeanor.
No, that Robbie Daymond (Hunter’s Reignited VA) voicing Marco.
For jarvis u said 48 instead of 44
most of the dream weavers seem like they don't want to fight/fighten?
7:05 motif, darling. Look it up!
Fun Fact: zakomo's lantern is actually an easter egg to one of t.f.b's previous work's. can you recognize it?
There’s one little detail you forgot to mention on the last one in this video: the original dialogue was cropped if you listen carefully!
Personally I found Mudada to be creepy af but..
I also noticed after making this video, when he comes out of crystal his eyes are wonky.. D:
Daniel Haworth I agree
Poor Mudada, everyone's so mean to him😔
I think he's kinda cute! 😅
Hey! Don’t forget that Spyro is a Reignited Dragon!
Zane color from 1998 could be Ivory.
Am I the only one who thought Zikomo might have been a woman when I was younger? Just the way he spoke made his voice sound much more feminine than the other dragons.
I personally didn't hear it but others have told me he's known as the female dragon due to his voice!
Boris is a Christopher Walken fan
More cowbell!
@@ToridoriGaming Now don't try to kid me man cub, I'll make a deal with you
21:45, don't you mean his chest?
Lindar deserves to be higher on the list
Great video Tori! 😍🐉
P.S. 69th like oh my... 😂😏
Thanks Ciarán! 😁
Explain to me why Boris look just like Bowser.
For some reason my brain thought you meant Boris Johnson and I was REALLY confused for a second!
@@ToridoriGaming Lol no, Boris from the video. Sorry my body likes to comment on old videos
Crystals!
But which is better - crystals or gems? :O
@@ToridoriGaming They're both pretty good, and it's nice to whack moneybags to get my gems back.
My name is Kelvin!
Looks like Marco is also disability representation since his wings are prosthetic.
Zikomo has an Australian accent? I thought it was British. Even Tealgamemaster thought so too. 😕
Definitely Australian!
@@ToridoriGaming yup. Seemed pretty Aussie to me, too.
this video is only a couple months late to the spyro hype train.
Maybe I'm making it because I enjoy Spyro? And I'd say over 4000 views with 7000 subs isn't that bad.
+1 sub!!!
Thank you Mr. E! :)
11:07 Blue? What do you mean blue that’s clearly purple. Also that accent is most likely from some region in Africa
Nah, blue
@@ToridoriGaming ok you know what? its indigo. there. now were both happy
aweosme
One thing really disappointed me about Zikomo. This game honestly makes me wonder "Where dafuq are all the mommy dragons!?" In the original, Zikomo had the most feminine sounding voice of anyone, and actually coupd have been female in this version to call back to that fact. But, saddly, no.
Copano loses points for me for wasting tea.
As a Brit, he offends me. 😂
He has tea! Then why did you brits cause the Boston tea party
We love tea, you're the ones who dumped it in the water.
Hey copano is literally dumping it on the ground.
More opinions!?!? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*beats seal with club*
