In Spyro: A New Beginning, what is the name of the fire dragon that mentors Spyro?

The story behind the answer

In Spyro: A New Beginning, Ignitus is the fire dragon who mentors Spyro. He is introduced as a senior dragon guardian watching over Spyro’s egg and later trains Spyro in the fire element.

Ignitus’s role begins before Spyro understands his origins. During the Year of the Dragon, he protects the rare purple dragon egg from the Dark Master’s forces. After the egg is carried away and Spyro is raised by dragonflies, Ignitus eventually reveals that Spyro is a dragon and helps guide him toward the Dragon Temple.

His mentorship is not limited to combat lessons. Ignitus explains the danger facing the dragons, encourages Spyro to confront Cynder’s forces, and sends him to rescue the other guardians. Spyro subsequently gains control of electricity, ice, and earth through the guidance and powers associated with Volteer, Cyril, and Terrador.

The names in the wrong options are all other Dragon Guardians. Cyril is associated with ice, Terrador with earth, and Volteer with electricity. Ignitus remains especially important throughout the trilogy, and Gary Oldman provided his English voice.
