Honey Fields Enemies By DrHumdrum Watch

First draft of some ideas I had for enemies for Honey Fields. I wanted to move away from the themes in Spyro 1 and 3 of having an enemy 'race' (Gnorcs or Rhynocs) dominating each level, and instead move back towards Spyro 2, where each level had a individual set of enemy creatures. I still want some levels in Spyro: Returns to feature various breeds of Riptocs, but I feel having different types of enemy in each world helps separate the levels and better tell the individual story of the worlds.



In Honey Fields the world will have been invaded by bears (from Flume Forest) looking to bag themselves some delicious honey, so I quickly drew three potential enemies that might feature in the level. Going from left to right, we have:



A large bear (not modelled on Winnie the Pooh at all, how dare you make that accusation) carrying an open jar of honey. When idle it would root around in the jar of honey and lick the honey off its hand. When Spyro gets near it will shake its hand at Spyro threateningly, and if Spyro gets too close the bear will slap him backwards.

Can be flamed; immune to charge attack.



A smaller bear dressed in shorts and a beekeeper's hat and armed with a net. When idle it will chase butterflies and adjust its hat. If Spyro gets near it will wield its net threateningly, and if Spyro gets too close it will hit Spyro with the net.

Can be flamed or charged.



Lastly, another small bear armed with a honeycomb shield and a sling containing honey globules. When idle it will swing its sling around absent-mindedly, and occasionally hit itself with a loose projectile. If Spyro gets near it will hide behind its shield and whirl its sling around its head, lowering the shield to hurl a honey drop at Spyro periodically.

Can only be charged when shield is up, or flamed as well when shield is lowered to throw honey drop at Spyro. Earth breath can break the shield.



Feedback is welcome!
