Personality and Abilities
Terrador possess the heart of a warrior and is the most powerful of all the Guardians when it coms down to brute strength. His discipline in the art of combat has provided him with a calm disposition, not prone to fits of rage, shows of pride or bursts of eccentric talk like his fellow Guardians. He does not judge other's by their appearence or reputation but by their skills in battle, having much admiration for Spyro who proved himself in combat at such a young age. His earth element is a true force to be reckoned with, the sheer power of it further augumenting his physical strength and making him all the more lethal. He teaches these arts to Spyro who quickly learns that when brute force is needed the awesome power of earth would be his best choice.
Story
A New Beginning
Year's 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, imprisioning him in the burning lands of Munition's 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 by Cynder in a ritual to resurrect her master, The Dark Master.
After rescuing Cyril, Ignitus, the Fire Guardian, sent Spyro to Munition's 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 train engine, Steam. After it's defeat Terrador was freed from the machine 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 until Ignitus arrived was Spyro able to escape but in the process he 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 admirring the will of the warrior within Spyro, sent him to Concurrent Skies to Cynder's fortress to rescue Ignitus.
When Spyro returned with Cynder, now free from Malefor's control, Terrador apologised with the rest of the Guardians for being unable to protect their eggs on the night of the raid.
The Eternal Night
Terrador was asleep with the rest of the Guardians when Cynder snuck away from the temple. When the temple was attacked by the Apes once again he helped defend it, this time pushing the Apes away and successfully holding his home, despite the damage the Temple sustained.
He was gathered around the viewing pool when Spyro mentioned The Chronicler and, along with the others, was startled to hear of his existance. With the Guardians unsettled by the reappearence of The Chronicler, who was often linked with tales of doom, and with the visions of the mountain of Malefor that Spyro was having, Terrador was sent by Ignitus to the Shattered Vale to warn the inhabitants of the spread of darkness from the Mountain of Malefor.
Dawn of the Dragon
In the three years since Spyro's and Cynder's disappearence, Terrador waited with the other guardians in the dragon city of Warfang, having once again lost control of the temple to Malefor and his forces, who tore the Temple from the ground and suspended it high above the ground with his dark powers as a symbol of his domination.
Terrador didn't make an appearence until Spyro and Cynder successfully prevented Malefor's army from storming the city gates and The Golem emerged from the ground and began to attack the city. Ignitus ordered Terrador to stay with him as they attacked the Golem. Terrador attacked the Golem whilst Spyro and Cynder were engaging it in battle. Using his earth element he spun into a cannon ball and smashed through the back of the golem's head, destroying its lower jaw. When he came back for another pass, the Golem hit Terrador with a blast of fire, rendering the mighty Earth Guardian unconscious.
After the Golem's defeat Terrador watches as Malefor reveals his plan and resurrects The Destoyer. Along with the other guardians, he ventures through the city's underground to confront the Destoyer and attack it before it completed the Ring of Annihilation and innitiated the end of the world. When the attack failed, however, Terrador helped move the Inhabitants of Warfang underground in the hopes that they would be safe, not emerging until Spyro and Cynder defeated Malefor and prevented the destruction of the world. He looked over the horizon along with everyone else and witnessed the creation of a dragon constellation in the sky.
