The tenth Spyro the Dragon game, released on the Nintendo DS in 2005 and the last in the original continuity.

Purple dragons are rare and have immense power, so it's no wonder that, when a purple dragon egg is laid, every evil man and his Evil Matriarch wants to get their hands on it. A hoard of baddies storm the dragon hatchery, breaking all the eggs--but wise Ignitus manages to save the little purple egg and set it downriver, where a family of dragonflies adopts it. Many years later, little Spyro begins to realize that he's not quite what he thought he was when he figures out he can breathe fire, and he and Sparx set out on a quest to stop the evil Cynder!

Tropes used in Spyro: Shadow Legacy include:

• Interspecies Romance: An armadillo cowboy falls in love with a dragon.
• Man Behind the Man: The Sorceror is revealed to have been controlling Red throughout his tenure as an antagonist, even through A Hero's Tail. Red promptly does a Heel Face Turn when he reveals this to you, going on to resume his Dragon Elder post in the epilogue.
