Tomas

Tomas (トルジェ=グリヨワーム Toruje in Japanese) is an Artisan dragon who appeared in Spyro the Dragon.

Story
After being turned into crystal by Gnasty Gnorc, Tomas was rescued by Spyro at Artisans. He taught the young dragon (and the player) how to glide. He also told Spyro not to be afraid of falling off mountains and such, even though the young dragon was not afraid.

Tomas was later turned into crystal again after attempting to confront Gnasty Gnorc along with several other dragons, and Spyro saved him, yet again, at Gnorc Cove.

Trivia

 * Tomas was originally named Silvus in the early demo for Spyro the Dragon.
 * Silvus' dialogue was a little different from Tomas': Press the jump button twice to glide, and... and don't be afraid. and Falling from high mountain peaks, plummeting into prehistoric glaciers, crashing through.
 * In the late demo, both name and dialogue had been fixed in Artisans, however in Gnorc Cove he doesn't exist at all inside his crystal prison.
 * Upon being rescued for the second time in Gnorc Cove, he initially doubted Spyro's abilities but quickly backtracks to saying that he always believed in him to which Spyro replies, You Gotta Believe!. This is an obvious homage to PaRappa the Rapper which released a year prior to Spyro the Dragon.
 * Tomas looks exactly like Oswin and Thor.
