Spyro: A Hero's Tail (GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2)/Unused Models

This is a sub-page of Spyro: A Hero's Tail (GameCube, Xbox, PlayStation 2).

Many unused models are found within the game's files, especially the test levels. Many models are visible when loading the test levels up, but some of them can only be viewed by ripping them.
Note: The filenames don't always directly refer to the model shown in the table below. While the files have names, the models within are unlabelled.
