Spyro has been modded into indie cat hit Stray

Here be dragons

Four legs? Check. Adorable? Yup. Winged and purple? Wait, that’s not a cat. It’s only Spyro the dragon, modded into Bluetwelve’s hit indie miaow ‘em upStray. Quite a decent fit too, Spyro me ol’ chum. It’s a bit like if Toys For Bob decided to give the plucky young drake his own version ofSonic Frontiers.

The Spyro mod joins the ever-growing pile of interesting alterations players are creating for Stray, such aslocal co-op multiplayer, along with adding intheir own cats, dogs, CJ from San Andreas (hi CJ) and Garfield. Someone even modded Stray’s catinto Doom. Nobody seems to have got Doom running on a cat yet though.

Katharine, cat-owner and game-appreciater in equal measure, thought Stray was worth a Bestest Bests in herStray review, even beyond its admittedly cute felines. “Stray’s production levels as a whole are phenomenal,” she said. “The atmospheric lighting and attention to detail in this densely packed city makes it feel like a natural, living, breathing environment, and its population of exquisitely animated androids are imbued with a real sense of warmth and humanity.” See, you don’t even need the cats.

The Spyro mod for Stray is downloadable from NexusModshere. You’ll need to own the game too, which is onSteamfor £24/$30/€30.
