In the world of dragons, the Villainous Red, a former member of the Dragon Council, hatches a plan to get back at the Dragons with the aid of Gnasty Gnorc, Ripto, and his apprentice Cynder, involving Dark Gems and trapping the Dragons in Crystal. The sole one to not be trapped is a young dragon named Spyro, who is told by Ignitus to go to Avalar and Skylands to rally up allies to fight Red.
