The Warlords
The armored vanguard of Gnorc tyranny across the Dragon Realms.
The Warlords represent a recurring class of elite Gnorc commanders found throughout the Dragon Realms, serving as high-ranking enforcers for various tyrannical rulers. While not always a unified political organization, these armored warriors function collectively as the backbone of Gnorc military might, often acting as lieutenants to major villains like Gnasty Gnorc or Ripto.

Reader's Guide
The Warlords function as the elite military caste within Gnorc society, appearing across multiple conflicts in the Dragon Realms.
Their primary goal is to secure strategic locations and protect high-value targets for their overlords. They act as mid-level bosses or mini-bosses that players must overcome to progress through levels.
Members are exclusively Gnorcs who have been promoted due to strength and loyalty. They often wear heavier armor than standard grunts, granting them increased durability in combat scenarios.
Their role in the conflict is pivotal; they serve as the gatekeepers of villainous plots. Defeating a Warlord typically unlocks access to new areas or reveals crucial items needed for Spyro's quest.
