There are 150 dragon eggs to collect in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
The game’s story begins during the recurring Year of the Dragon celebration, an event held every twelve years when fairies deliver a new generation of dragon eggs to the Dragon Realms. Before the celebration can continue, the Sorceress sends Bianca and her Rhynoc forces to steal the eggs and scatter them throughout the Forgotten Realms.
Spyro, Sparx, and Hunter pursue the thieves, while several rescued characters help recover the eggs. Some eggs are found directly in levels, while others are awarded for completing challenges, races, minigames, or tasks involving the game’s additional playable characters. The eggs are spread across 37 levels and hub areas.
Players do not need all 150 eggs to finish the main storyline. However, collecting every egg contributes to full completion and unlocks the game’s bonus content, including the Super Bonus Round. The final egg is obtained after the post-game sequence, so the total is easy to underestimate if a player stops after defeating the main story’s boss.
