The Dark Mine is a realm in the final homeworld known as Volcanic Isle in Spyro: A Hero's Tail. It is an underground mine with machinery, rocks, rubble, industrial areas and is patrolled by robotic gnorcs. It is deep underground, beneath the volcano, and it is where Red is turning the Gnorcs into robots. The mine is full of tricks, traps, and death zones. After the mine, there is a long mechanical tunnel to Red's Laboratory.
