Why did they make his forelegs look like muscular arms...? Was he going to be anthropomorphic? Looks weird to me, like creepy deviantArt tier fanart or something.

definitely. i thought the same thing.

i dunno, there's a ton of stuff in TLOS they never really explained or went into. so much so that the series itself is pretty much just a big "concept". think of pretty much any event in the game, and there's a ton of potential lore surrounding it that's just left in the dark.

I can understand why this was cancelled though, tbh - what story even is there in LoS that could be told in episodic format?

the Spyro stuff... doesn't look bad? but it just screams "taking too much artistic liberty with a character". i don't know why everybody who gets their hands on the Spyro IP feels the need to drastically redesign him instead of using their ideas somewhere else, but it's weird. if this were its own character, i think i'd like it more.

overall though, yet another cancelled Spyro thing x_x
