Dragon Guardian Temple

The Dragon Temple is a place in the Swamp where the dragons elders train and take care of young dragons, only appearing in The Legend of Spyro series. Inside there is a room, called the Grotto, where there is a pool of water known as the Pool of Visions, in which certain dragons, such as Ignitus, can see visions: the dreams, thoughts, and memories of others and to see what is happening in places far away.

DescriptionEdit
An ancient structure of great importance, the Dragon Temple has survived the test of time and is still filled with spells and enchantments to ensure its protection. These, however, prove to be inadequate at times. The temple has suffered its share of ape attacks, wearing the beautiful sandstone and rock-carved statues down to missing chunks and spiderweb cracks. It hasn't had a decent dusting in a while, so anyone with indoor sinuses might want to steer clear. It is home to the four Elemental Guardians, Ignitus, Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador, and is often used as a training ground for young heroes.

The Legend of Spyro: A New BeginningEdit
Sometime after the war between the Dark Master and the Dragons, the Dragon Temple was overtaken by Cynder's forces of Apes, but was reclaimed when Spyro eventually driven them out, accompanied by Ignitus and Sparx. It served as a shelter and home to the Guardians, and eventually Spyro and Sparx. Also, in the prologue of the game, the eggs were in the Grotto with the Pool of Visions.

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal NightEdit
The Temple under attack Added by Aura24The Dragon Temple appears again as the current home for the Guardians, Spyro, and Sparx, and also a temporary shelter for Cynder before she left, blaming herself for what happened when she was under the Dark Master's control. The temple was then under attack, and Spyro battled his way through the grounds of the temple to get back to the Guardians. After driving off the forces of the Ape King, Gaul, the Dragon Temple was damaged during the surprise attack and wasn't seen again in the game after Ignitus sends Spyro off to the Ancient Grove where the Chronicler is supposedly hiding.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the DragonEdit
During the three years before the events of Dawn of the Dragon, the Guardians lost their hold on the Dragon Temple while fending against Malefor, who then raised the temple above the volcano as a symbol of his dominance, earning its name Malefor's Lair. It was later destroyed when the Destroyer broke the world apart in a torrent of fire during the final battle between Spyro, Cynder and Malefor.

Role in the series
