Professor (Spyro the Dragon)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Professor is an anthropomorphic mole who first appears in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage. He is intelligent, but he has a slight memory problem. Since he has eye problems, he wears glasses (which he often breaks). He builds all kinds of gadgets to help Spyro on his adventures, which are activated by having a certain number of collectibles, such as Light Gems (A Hero's Tail).
In Ripto's Rage, he pulls Spyro out of the Dragon Realms to help the Avalarians fight Ripto, who arrived in Avalar because of Hunter. After Spyro succeeds in defeating Ripto, the Professor uses the super-portal he invented to send Spyro home.
In Year of the Dragon, it is revealed that the Professor's student is a space monkey named Agent 9 and that he has a laboratory on a small tropical island. In the game, the lab is taken over by Rhynocs and Spyro helps the Professor and Agent 9 by clearing the island. The lab was set up by the Professor after he used millennium-old coordinates to reach the Dragons' lands.
The next game in which he appears in A Hero's Tail. He is shown to have another laboratory in the Dragon Village of the Dragon Realms. In the beginning of the game, he shows Spyro about Red and his evil doings. Over the course of the game, he gives tips to Spyro and uses the Light Gems that Spyro collected to power his numerous gadgets, which allows Spyro to reach hidden places. Near the end of the game, he is captured by Red to build his robot army. Spyro eventually finds the Professor and defeats Red.
