Cyril (Voiced by Jeff Bennett) is the Ice Guardian Dragon who appeared in The Legend of Spyro series. Cyril was the protector of Dante's Freezer during the wars against the Dark Armies. He, along with the other Guardians and war dragons, fought against the forces of The Dark Master, until they were driven back when only four Guardians, including himself, remained. Cyril was one of the Guardians tasked with watching over the dragon eggs, including the egg that contained Spyro. The Dark Armies soon raided the Dragon Temple and overwhelmed Cyril and the other Guardians, allowing the Apes to destroy the other dragon eggs to prevent Spyro's birth under the Dark Master's orders. After the attack, Cyril fought alongside the other dragons against the Apes now led by the evil dragon, Cynder. He was captured by Cynder and her forces, and was taken to Tall Plainswhere he was drained of his elemental energy in order to power the crystal needed to free the Dark Master.
Ignitus sent Spyro to rescue Cyril in Tall Plains after he returned with Volteer and the young dragon watched Cynder as she flies away with her powered crystal. Spyro pushed on and found Cyril but he was forced to fight the Stone Sentinel, a creature worshiped by the native Atlawas as a god but became angered at having its resting place disturbed by Cynder's actions. Once Spyro freed Cyril, the Ice Guardian hurried them back to the temple, and away from the 'primitive and barbaric' company they were currently in. After a brief reunion with his fellow Guardians, Cyril took Spyro to the training room and taught him how to use his new found Ice element to a proficient level.
