No problem I was also surprised by those descriptions, I didn't read manuals much and as a child I couldn't translate them either.

WHOAH, that's even better! I've been looking for that for a long time ever since I read about that!

Toad-Like in more ways than one! Poor Rips...

AW MAN THOUGH! So that IS true!
Geez, picked on at school as a child... I wonder if that's where his whole hatred of dragons started up?

And hang on! He stole the scepter?
Wow, so one of my headcanon's there was right... That could make for an interesting story in and of itself.

And aw man! We get to see a little bit into Crush and Gulp too!

Crush livin' up to his name there...
As is Gulp.

Aw man, thank you for the share, Gekoncze!

Straight from my Gateway to Glimmer manual

... So one of the things I read over on the Spyro Wiki mentioned...

The manual for Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer says that Ripto was picked on at school as a child. He became so used to not joining in with games that now he only wants to ruin everyone else's fun.

So now I'm SUPER curious, 'cause I DO tend to take things from wikis like that with a grain of salt.
'fraid my manual for Ripto's Rage mentions nothing on Ripto's backstory.
DOES the Gateway to Glimmer manual mention anything about ol' Rips there?
