Spyro: A Hero's Tail

Spyro: A Hero's Tail is the fifth console game in the original Spyro series and the ninth game in the series overall. Developed by Eurocom Entertainment Software, it was the first game in the series for the Xbox, as well as the second game in the series for the PlayStation 2 and ported to the GameCube.

The game introduces a new antagonist, Red, a former Dragon Elder banished years before the events of the game, and sees the protagonist, Spyro the Dragon, attempt to defeat his plot to corrupt the realms with the aid of his friends Sparx the Dragonfly, Hunter the Cheetah, Byrd the Penguin, and Blink the Mole, all of whom are also playable.

It was the last "classic" Spyro game on a home console before the series' reboot in 2018.
