Gear Grinders are enemies in Hurricos, a realm in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!. They generally make life difficult for the Electrolls. There are at least two types of Gear Grinders, including the Gear Grinder Thieves. Gear Grinders usually attack by swinging their over-sized monkey wrenches at Spyro, and they can only be defeated by flame. The large Gear Grinders can also be occasionally seen cranking the key on their robots and unleashing them on Spyro.
