As Ripto begins to terrorize Avalar, Elora and the Professor plan to 'catch' a Dragon in order to drive Ripto off. However, Elora is able to deactivate the portal by instructing fairies to remove the orbs powering the portal and scatter them throughout the realms of Avalar. He instructs Crush to go back and pack his things. Sensing that the world he has landed in is free of Dragons, Ripto declares that he is going to 'move in' and take over. During a test, Hunter persuades the Professor to enter his birthdate, 22475 (22nd April, 1975) as the portal's target coordinates, inadvertently activating it and allowing a small sorcerer named Ripto into the realm, along with his two dinosaurs, Crush and Gulp.

In the land of Avalar, residents Elora, Hunter, and the Professor have been working on their latest and largest portal.

The Dragons of the previous installment have been replaced with an entirely new cast of characters, including fauns, satyrs, anthropomorphic animals, and robotic businessmen. Avalar's name may have been derived from the legendary island Avalon. All three homeworlds feature a certain number of realms, one or two speedways, and a Boss Realm. The world of Avalar is split up into three homeworlds, all of them named after a season of the year: Summer Forest, Autumn Plains, and Winter Tundra. Ripto's Rage! is set in Avalar, rather than the Dragon Realms, where the previous installment was set. Spyro must travel through the land of Avalar, undoing the damage done by Ripto and ultimately defeating him. Idols come to life and attack their creators, Eskimos are encased in ice cubes, and a civilization of seahorses has had its water confiscated. A sorcerer, known as Ripto, has invaded the world of Avalar and is wreaking havoc on its citizens with his magic. The portal he enters accidentally takes him to the land of Avalar because the Professor, Elora and Hunter are trying to bring a dragon to Avalar. The protagonist of the series, Spyro the Dragon, decides to take a vacation to Dragon Shores with his friend Sparx a few years after defeating Gnasty Gnorc.
