The Guardians are dragons in The Legend of Spyro series who are responsible for watching over the Dragon Eggs, training young dragons in the ancient ways, and presumably other things as well.

Not to be confused with Dragon Elders, the Guardians only appear in the Legend of Spyro trilogy. There is one Guardian for each element, although there is no Guardian for Wind (it is never explained why). It is possibly because the Wind Guardian was killed in the events prior to A New Beginning along with many other Guardian dragons during the war against Malefor's forces.

History

During the war between Malefor's forces, many Guardians lost their lives, leaving only four Guardians remaining: Ignitus, Terrador, Cyril, and Volteer.^[1]

List of Guardians

The Guardian of Fire

Ignitus is the master of Fire. He can do, or used to do, very powerful fire attacks, but, as it is shown in A New Beginning, doing a fury attack is difficult for him and it takes a lot more time for him to recover since he has grown older. Ignitus is also Spyro's father figure and mentor in The Legend of Spyro series.

The Guardian of Ice

Cyril is the master of Ice. He is very arrogant and proud, and he and Volteer argue a lot and it's usually up to Ignitus to stop them.

The Guardian of Earth

Terrador is the master of Earth. He is second in command, and the most militant and most calm of the Guardians. Within the range of Attack Power, Terrador seems to be the strongest.

The Guardian of Electricity

Volteer is the master of Electricity. He talks a lot about nothing, usually using big words while doing so, making him seem very enegetic for his age. He and Cyril argue a lot and its usually up to Ignitus to stop them.
