- "What I was going to say is that all warriors feel fear, Spyro, but only the most valiant among us can face that fear... and master it. From what I saw of you on Munition's Forge, you are one such warrior."
- —Terrador
Terrador (Voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) is the Earth Guardian dragon who appears in the The Legend of Spyro series. He is the second-in-command of the remaining Dragon Guardians. Terrador participated in the war against the Dark Master's armies. He was assigned to defend Tall Plains during the on-going battle, until he and the other remaining Guardians were driven back when many Guardian dragons were lost. Years after the raid on the Dragon Temple that resulted in the smashing of all the eggs except for Spyro's, the dark dragon, Cynder, came to power and quickly defeated Terrador. She imprisoned him in the burning lands of Munitions Forge, the home of the Manweersmalls and the volcano Boyzitbig, in order to drain the power of his element into a crystal to be used in a ritual to resurrect her master, Malefor who was also known as the Dark Master. After rescuing Cyril, Ignitus sent Spyro to Munitions Forge to rescue Terrador. Along the way, Spyro had to release the local Manweersmalls from their slavery to progress to the area Terrador was kept in and he was also forced to defeat the Conductor and his maniacal train engine, Steam, to get to him. After its defeat, Terrador was freed from the machine that was draining his power, but before he and Spyro could leave, Cynder burst forth from a lava pit and took the crystal now charged with Terrador's power. Terrador attempted to pursue her but he was quickly dispatched with a single blow from the mighty female. Terrador ordered Spyro to run whilst he went back to the temple for help but Cynder heard him and began to chase after Spyro. It wasn't long until Ignitus arrived was Spyro able to escape, but in the process, the Fire Guardian was captured himself.
With Ignitus gone, Terrador temporarily took over as the leader and explained what Cynder was doing. He then taught Spyro how to correctly use his Earth element, and admiring the will of the warrior within Spyro, sent him to Concurrent Skies where Cynder's fortress was to rescue Ignitus.
