Hey guys, welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I’m your host Lucy McPhee!
The Spyro Reignited Trilogy has just been released, which includes the first 3 games
in the Spyro series, Spyro the Dragon, Ripto’s Rage, and Year of the Dragon.
So what better way to honour this releasing than to descend into the dark interwebs to
explore some of the best Spyro creepypastas.
Now, I’ve only included a handful as this list would be 10 hours long otherwise, but
don’t hesitate to leave your favourite Spyro creepypastas in the comments down below if
they didn’t make it onto our list.
Alright, let’s jump in!
Now this creepypasta begins with a Warning from the author, stating that if you don’t
want your childhood ruined perhaps don’t proceed.
As we all know though, we at Top 10 Gaming, LOVE to ruin your childhood through any means
possible, so, of course, we proceeded.
The user details playing some Spyro New Beginning with his girlfriend, the startup screen was
great, some jumpscares here and there, as well as blood, cos of course.
However when they got to the homescreen the game starting glitching out, and all they
could see with SPYRO.EXE, so the clicked on it.
Everything started off fine, but things quickly began to get a little weird, backwards writing
popped up on the screen, specifically this (EDITOR INSERT: tluaf ym saw tI), aka, It
was my fault.
There was also crying sounds, but realist crying, coming from a red dragon that was
crying blood and was gradually decaying.
Creepy.
As he died a bloody egg dropped, and a note read this (EDITOR INSERT: mih fo erac ekat),
aka, take care of him.
Creeped out by this they continued on anyway, but the game once again began to glitch out,
crashing the game completely.
It restarted but this time the home screen revealed Spyro hatching out of an egg with
half of his head blown off.
Perhaps the rumours are true about the cure of Spyro New Beginning.
This next creepypasta comes from an unknown user who talks about buying a copy of Spyro
Year of the Dragon off of eBay.
When it arrived his friend game over, they loaded it into his PS2 and waited.
Before continuing though, they found a letter.
It read “Don’t play it!
Throw it out!
Snap it in half!
Do anything but don’t play it!
I am warning you the...thing is after me”” So spooky!
Our user was hesitant to play but his friend encouraged him anyway, so, of course, they
played it.
Everything was normal at first, the title screen had spyro and the dragon egg, but then
the game froze.
Glitching, and then revealing Spyro with bloody fangs, and instead of “Press Start” it
said “Press start if you dare”.
They of course pressed start.
However, they were forced to play as a Cynder, but Cynder wasn’t playable until much, MUCH
further down the line.
Everything was fine for a while, they ran around as Cynder, the background was normal,
there were even sheep.
YAY.
But then the game glitched again, revealing a bloody Cynder and Spyro laughing, but with
an evil menacing laugh.
Spyro then turned to the screen and said “Who’s next?”.
They immediately took the game out, snapping it in half.
But they were too later.
The users friend became possessed by Spyro, and Cynder appeared right beside them.
Spyro then transformed into a dragon, killing the users friend, but before Spyro could get
to him, Cynder lunged, sending Spyro back to the hell in which he came from.
Cynder then look at the user and just smiled.
In the same vein as our other creepypastas, this user details how he discovered an old
copy of his Spyro 1 demo, he loaded it into his PS1 that he had clung onto, and it loaded
up.
However, it wasn’t how they remembered it, everything seemed a little darker, and intro
was slightly different.
Instead of Spyro flying in and torching an enemy, they were met with flashes of waterfalls
turning blood red for a few seconds, and then immediately purple before turning back to
normal.
Considering it was an old game he figured it was just an error and hit start.
However, Spyro wasn’t his usual jolly self, his face was a mix between happy and scared,
and he even shed a tear.
Poor guy.
He proceed on, encountering a dragon as normal but the lines where slightly different.
The dragon said it would see him in another world, and then it flew away.
The player continued on anyway, collecting gems and setting off to free some dragons.
He then encountered a second dragon, but this one gave him odd advice, stating, “Don’t
be afraid of falling from high mountain peaks, plummeting into prehistoric glaciers, crashing
through rough terrain, severely painful death.”
Creepy!
Continuing on the player went to battle some enemies, slaying them they didn’t poof away
to reveal gems like the usual do, they just layed there, on the floor, in a pool of blood.At
this point the player was starting to get nervous, I mean I got real nervous way before
this, but whatever, to each their own.
He paused the game for a bit, but instead of the classic pause screen, it was blue and
staticy, with only one option, “Continue”, and it also said his lives were at 0.
After a short break he resumed the game, but Spyro wouldn’t move, and after a few moments
began to move on his own, and uttered in a whisper, “Why”.
The player tried to pause the game again, but this time Spyro turned to look at him
directly, stating, “Leaving again?
I am nothing to you?
You like my personality, how cool I was...so why did you leave for what felt like forever,
because of you I lost all of it.
My emotion, my heart, my friend, even the dragon eggs are smashed.
I am cursed to remain unfinished in this demo, no one plays demos anymore.
I am glad you could see what I have become, a shell, a shadow of what I was before I go.
Then game then ended and turned off.
Our final creepypasta comes from a Deviant Art user, ShadowDragon5150, they begin by
talking about how Spyro had always been their favourite game growing up, and how the purple
dragon had always lifted their spirits when they were down.
They had just finished a game when they uncovered their original copy of Spyro, so they decided
to load it up in their playstation to see if it still worked.
It did but it immediately glitched, and then faded out abruptly.
The normal scene started up though, Spyro appeared flying around, charging at a gnorc,
but instead of knocking it aside, this time Spyro impaled the gnorc with it’s horns.
Blood flew off of Spyro’s horns, covering the screen.
The startup menu then popped up, as though nothing had ever happened.
They hit start anyway, because apparently gamers these days don’t think anything of
a causal impalement.
The game started and things instantly became weird.
The first crystal dragon they encountered was beheaded, it’s head laying next to its
body, and blood spilling out of its neck.
Walking Spyro over to a platform, a message flashed up from the dead dragon, “Spyro,
no more...please, Spyro!”.
Another dragon then appeared, its head almost completely torn off of its body.
Spyro then spoke, saying, “I do what I want”, the dragon then floated away.
Finally freaked out by this, the player put their controller down, and Spyro began taking
over, he flew over to another platform where a second dragon was laying, it too was beheaded.
Another message appeared, “Don’t kill me Spyro, just let Sparx protect you!”,
Spyro responded, “Sparx can’t protect me from the hatred I feel.”.
Spyro then turned, as though looking directly at the player, they immediately shut off their
playstation.
Opting to play Sly Cooper: Honor Among Thieves instead.
They had one more mission in the game left to complete, so they clicked on it, the title
was “The Purple Dragon”.
Curious.
They started the mission anyway, the characters in the game beginning discussing how something
entered the Cooper Vault last night, and that they believe it’s still in there.
Red eyes began to appear on screen, and the characters become aware of them, the characters
then ran towards the screen, communicating with the player, saying, “Don’t just sit
there and stare!
Get me out of here!”
Out of a cave Spyro emerged, grabbing one of the characters and pulling him away.
He yells at the player addressing them by name, screaming, “Help, Hannah!”.The screen
then went black and a message appeared that read “You’re next Hannah.
You cannot escape my curse.
All who get in between us will suffer.”
Hannah immediately unplugged her playstation before Spyro came through her bedroom door,
breathing fire into her face, killing her.
