Durple

Durple Sprunki

Durple, also known as Mr. Purple, is 19 years old and the twelfth character in Sprunki Modded. He is also the second melody-based character. Unlike typical Sprunkis, he takes the form of a purple dragon with two long dark purple horns on his head and two fin-like ears on either side.

Durple is known for his calm demeanor, his love for collecting and playing saxophones and trumpets, and his close friendships with Oren and Simon. His sound consists of trumpet melodies, which shift to a French horn in Horror Mode, adding a solemn and haunting atmosphere to the game.
