Is Spyro dent proof?

RedDragonX · Feb 19, 2009 12:19 AM

Well in that case it would really suck to be a young dragon in Spyro's world lol....I wouldn't want some stupid dragonfly following me around that's for sure...

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 12:22 AM

Well you would if the other option was having your spongy body punctured by a sharp object, then you'd wish you had a dragonfly to take the damage.

RedDragonX · Feb 19, 2009 12:26 AM

Hence I'm glad we live in an actual human society tongue

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 12:27 AM

Yes, where running into walls actually does cause damage and being attacked would actually cause us harm rather than some innocent nearby dragonfly.

RedDragonX · Feb 19, 2009 12:30 AM

Yeah but at least I'm capable of free thought lol...but back on subject.....the developers did it lol...

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 12:31 AM

Yes, quite, the developers...the flawed developers that have reduced us to arguing why Spyro isnt hurt if he headbuts a wall...you'd think we'd have learnt by now lol.

I once convinced a friend of mine that if you charged into the invisible walls enough, his horns fell off.

RedDragonX · Feb 19, 2009 4:57 AM

Well I'm sure your friend grew up to be a very very gullible person lol...

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 1:05 PM

lol that would be funny to see though, i can just imagine LOS spyro doing that XD as well as original

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 1:08 PM

His horns are made of sponge too, he can't really go out in the rain or he'll absorb it all and make his horns all soft and useless. The only reason he wasn't all soft and wet in TEN after falling into the ocean was because the ice in the celestial caves froze it all. When it defrosted he squeezed it all out on his way to the mountain of Malefor, that's why he wasn't weakened.

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 8:18 PM

lol, dragons as sponges....well i can say its original XD but i think if he was one he would absorb the water like when you have to swim in the old spyros

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 8:23 PM

Hmm...I do remember him swimming now...well that does cause a problem to my theory...well he cant's absorb all the water but he'd absorb a little, after all only his scales are made out of sponge. Aha, he absorbs the water and then when he gets back on land the water is knocked out of him when he charges at things, you just can't see it because the developers didnt have a system powerful enough to depict the water being squeezed out. There, defended my theory.

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 8:27 PM

ha ha good one, ok what about ETD and AHT? the system was bigger then so how come he didnt absorb the water then? XP

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 8:36 PM

Ah well, I can explain that easily; the development team simply forgot to include it due to problems with communication. I mean, once you have the capabilities to show the water get squeezed out of Spyro you're going to definately put it in. But because there was such a time gap between the first Spyro games and those two you mentioned some of the developers that knew about Spyro's sponge problems with water had left the development team. So that little aspect was missed out. Plus ETD wasn't that great of a game anyway so they didn't have everything in it. Also another pro for the sponge theory is that when an enemy squashed Spyro, he just pops back into shape. How else could you explain that eh? You could say he was made out of rubber, that way he wouldnt get hurt for hitting walls, wouldn't absorb water and he'd pop back into shape. But we all know its impossible for him to be made out of rubber, he couldn't use his electric attacks then; rubber doesnt conduct electricity.

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 8:51 PM

Well for this say ,unique theory XD i have to admit you put a good arguement for it. But what about in dragon legends of old? how come they have never mentioned this?

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 8:57 PM

It's simple, people don't want to hear tales of heroics about a man who vanquished a cold blooded dragon made out of...sponge!!! How is that entertaining? They'd much rather hear that the scales were as hard as diamond and only the strongest of the strong could pierce them. So basically the story tellers tweaked the legends a little. So many brave men wished to prove their worth so when they approached these savage beasts they realised they were made out of sponge but didn't tell anyone that because then they wouldn't be able to be a hero. Come on, do you really think a weak human could kill a dragon if it weren't made out of sponge?

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 9:01 PM

Or mabye that the legends were true and you were wrong XP i will belive you when i see video eveidence from the spyro games or another source XP

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 9:08 PM

That's fine with me, but as long as you remember that you heard the sponge theory here first. When the next Spyro game comes out and Cynder accidently pokes Spyro's scales with her tail blade and Spyro yells 'Hey! Watch it with that thing, I'm made out of Sponge!' just you rememeber that you heard it here first. But in the meantime I'm going to stick to that theory until someone can think of a better one, at that point I'll gladly say he's made out of something else...like marshmellow...purple, soft and fluffy marshmellow.

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 9:19 PM

oh dear, i cant stop you as well because this is still on topic, *bleep* your good at this X( lol im going to go with that dragons have evolved to be resistant to that sort of thing

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 9:23 PM

Oh I'm good at staying on topic. Well they did grow to be resistant. At first their scales weren't made out of sponge (or marshmellow) but when they wanted to run into walls they dented their skulls. After years of randomly hitting walls and falling off buildings their young began to develop softer and more sponge-like (or marshmellow-like) scales. Hence that is how they became dent proof.

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 9:33 PM

No, they became harder so they wouldn't feel any pain from when they did that actualy XP its called evolving, whereas you are talking about evolution backwards

Fresh blood · Feb 19, 2009 9:37 PM

Ah, so you want to talk evolution then? OK. So, they started hitting walls, for a reason we aren't sure of but that's besides the point. Now, the ones with hard scales died because the impact caused vibrations to go through the hard scales and into the soft squishy insides. The softer scaled dragons, however, absorbed the impact, meaning they survived to pass on their genes to their young. Because of that, softer and softer dragons were produced creating spongy dragons.

Spyro Master · Feb 19, 2009 9:46 PM

No the harder ones absorbed the impact with the high quantities of strong bone and muscle to protect themselves, whereas the squishy ones sqaushed themselves to much and died.

RedDragonX · Feb 20, 2009 12:29 AM

Haha...I love how in depth you are getting about these theories lol....keep it up!.........and yes keep it on topic 0.0

Fresh blood · Feb 20, 2009 12:30 AM

Ah, well, it all depends on how absorbant their scales were. Sure, the hardest scaled dragons would have survived, but so would the dragons that could cushion the impacts well. So I'll compromise with you. Since both sponge dragons and Hard dragons could have evolved, Spyro is either made out of Sponge, or has really hard scales...but if he did have really hard scales he'd be able to take a hit better...just saying.
