Battle of the Dragons

 is the third season in Crash Bandicoot: On the Run!. It began on the 10th of June, 2021, and will end on the 12th of July, 2021.

Theme
This season is themed around the Spyro the Dragon series. Dark Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc have invaded the Wumpa Islands, and Spyro the Dragon followed them to stop them.

As Nefarious Tropy was banished at the end of the previous season, she left open a portal to the Dragon Realms. The portal appeared at the beginning of the season, on top of a stone pillar next to the Season Event Area. It emits an ominous purple light field and a trophy is floating in front of it, rotating on itself.

At the season's start, Dark Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc used the portal to invade Crash and Coco's world, taking over parts of their islands. Spyro chased them to this world, but the portal broke in the process. Crash and Coco now have to fight back Dark Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc, and help Spyro repair the portal to send them back to their own world.

Later in the season, Cortex approaches Crash and Coco, asking for a truce under the claim that if the bandicoots gather items for him, he will be able to create a "reverse ray" to de-age Dark Spyro back into a harmless dragon egg.
