After the Sorceress' defeat, the Rhynocs discovered that they had no sole purpose until they were employed by Grendor. Grendor gave them new life by giving back their crystals; he sent them also to fight off Spyro in Spyro: Season of Ice. After Grendor's defeat, the Rhynocs once again felt unneeded and useless, until employed by Ripto. Ripto controlled the Rhynocs when not using his army of Riptocs during the events of the Season of Flame and after stealing the Professor's Laboratory. Rhynocs have not been seen since.
