But I would just prefer the game to stay child-friendly, and go about it the way Spyro 1 did (excuse the poor quality video; it's all I could find).

Man, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Not even tv tropes mentions this.
I just wonder when people will notice you can upskirt the female fauns and see suspiciously pink polygon underneath in fracture hills.

Spyro was always based on humor and cartoon violence (even in TLOS to a point; think ANB with the monkeys, and ice breath)

it always pushed things a *little* to add a little edge, but it always kept things tasteful. i don't see the games going into straight-out cursing or anything like that.

That description is everything I don't want in my Spyro game. o.o Gnorcs with RPG's isn't too far fetched though; we had these guys:

But in all reality Spyro is a little purple dragon. Meant to appeal to all ages, so...I don't see it going over well even if it did happen.

Why does he need one? It's a fun, family friendly series.

That's already what Spyro is. You don't need to swear to have a teenage personality.

Gnroc with an RPG

...Why?

It's to give Spyro an edge, especially since he'd practically be a dragon with a teenage personality. I mean, let's say that Spyro is with Hunter, in some kind of alleyway or some kind of outdoor junkyard, something like that. They have to look through it to find something important. Suddenly, Spyro, just Spyro, sees a Gnroc with an RPG pointed at the both of them. He says, "OH, [bleep]!" and then he tackles Hunter out of the way.

I honestly wouldn't have thought so. A lot of parents still associate Spyro with the label 'child friendly', so it seems unlikely they'd ever risk switching him so late in his career.

He wouldn't say the "F" word. Anytime someone says the "F" word in a video game makes the whole game prone to being rated "M." Still, I'm thinking that he would say the "S" word from time to time. He would say "crap," probably "*bleep*" as well, but never the "F" word.
