Spyro | While playing in the Summer Forest back in his world, Spyro met Master Eon. The great Portal Master explained to the young dragon about the dangers in a world that lies in the center of the universe called Skylands, and that he needs Spyro's help to defend that world. Spyro agreed to become a Skylander, and Eon transported the young dragon to his mystical citadel at the [[Ruins]] where he met [[Gill Grunt]], [[Eruptor]] and the other Skylanders. From that day on, as a Skylander, Spyro had faced all kinds of terrors with the other heroes that threatened to turn his scales white, and never looked back. | ||

{{SpoilerStart}} | |||
Spyro, Gill Grunt, Eruptor and [[Boomer]] were on Eon's island with the other Skylanders listening to Gill Grunt's concert, much to their discomfort. Shortly afterwards, [[Flynn]] and [[Hugo]] crashland in their hot air balloon nearby, with Spyro having to save Boomer from where the balloon had landed due to the [[Trolls (Skylanders)|troll]] having put dynamite in his ears to mute out Gill Grunt's singing. Hugo informs the Skylanders and Master Eon urgent news of flying sheep attacking the [[Mabu Market]], though the Skylanders didn't believe it at first until they saw an image of the market being attacked in Eon's portal. After reaching the Market, Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Eruptor find out that the sheep weren't really flying, but were being carried by invisible trolls who were led by a [[Spell Punks|Spell Punk]]. While the other Skylanders fought the trolls, Spyro went after the Spell Punk nearby and captured him, forcing the wizard to reveal that they were looking for the [[Chattering Key]] and that he and the trolls were testing out an invisibility spell, but the trolls wanted to cause mayhem, therefore drawing attention to themselves. Appearing as a frightening projection of his head, Kaos scolds the Spell Punk, and transports the wizard and the remaining trolls back to his lair. Spyro confronts the floating head of Kaos and demands why he is after the Chattering Key. The evil Portal Master refuses to answer the young dragon and disappears. | |||
[[File:Machine_of_Doom_Illustration5.jpg|thumb|326px|Spyro leading his friends through the Forest of Fear]]Back on Eon's island, Spyro learns from Hugo that the [[Arkeyans]] created the Chattering Key as an artifact used to opening a tomb that contains an ancient Arkeyan weapon that Kaos is seeking. Knowing that Kaos would go after such a weapon, the Skylanders decided to get the Key before Kaos does. Using Flynn to transport them to their next destination, the young dragon lead Eruptor, Boomer, and Gill Grunt on a journey to the [[Forest of Fear]] where the Key is held. The Skylanders soon came in contact with the Fungus Rings of Despair that lies within the forest, trapping them in hallucinations of their worst fears. Spyro's irrational fear came to life, as he saw Master Eon in chains and being tortured by Kaos, who was absolute ruler of Skylands and the universe. The young dragon broke free of his fear by blasting fire at the hallucinations, and freed the other Skylanders from the grip of the Fungus Rings of Despair. The Skylanders soon find the Chattering Key, which was being guarded by the statue of a stone wyvern. Spyro devises a plan, and his friends confuse the stone wyvern enough for the purple dragon to snag the Key, and the Skylanders make a quick getaway with the wyvern in hot pursuit. Before they can leave with the key, Kaos appears, having captured Flynn. The evil tyrant reveals that he had used the Skylanders to brave the terrors of the Forest so that he can steal the key from them, and is willing to release Flynn in exchange for it. | |||
Not wanting to endanger Flynn's life for the sake of their mission, Spyro gives Kaos the Chattering Key, and the tyrant summons a tomb of the [[Pyramid of Just Rewards]] that contains the Arkeyan weapon, the Machine of Doom. Kaos opens the tomb, activating one of its pillars that destroys the advancing stone wyvern with a beam of light. The evil Portal Master then uses Flynn as a hostage to keep the Skylanders from following him. With the help from the Chattering Key, Spyro and the Skylanders venture inside the pyramid through the other side where they come across the Machine of Doom itself. As Kaos reaches the Machine, Boomer eagerly tries to control the evil contraption but fails, and the weapon itself begins to break apart and pyramid around them starts to crumble. As Kaos was laughing maniacally at Boomer trying to control the Machine of Doom, Spyro was the only one who figured out Kaos' real scheme. | |||

Despite their best efforts however, Kaos destroyed the Core of Light using his [[Hydra]], and Spyro, along with the other Skylanders, were banished from their world to Earth, where they were turned into toys as a result of that world having no magic, waiting for the new Portal Master to help them save Skylands.

While playing in the Summer Forest back in his world, Spyro met Master Eon. The great Portal Master explained to the young dragon about the dangers in a world that lies in the center of the universe called Skylands, and that he needs Spyro's help to defend that world. Spyro agreed to become a Skylander, and Eon transported the young dragon to his mystical citadel at the Ruins where he met Gill Grunt, Eruptor and the other Skylanders.

Spyro's Adventure
Spyro and Trigger Happy were present with their leader, Master Eon, when Kaos and The Darkness approached. When Kaos summoned his minions to destroy the Core of Light, Spyro was the first to charge into battle before the other Skylanders, taking out several red Cyclops Choppers with his horns before taking airborne to fight the enemies from the air. He is briefly seen during the fight flying in the background while being chased down by a Cyclops Mammoth. Despite their best efforts however, Kaos destroyed the Core of Light using his Hydra, and Spyro, along with the other Skylanders, were banished from their world to Earth, where they were turned into toys as a result of that world having no magic, waiting for the new Portal Master to help them save Skylands. Eventually, the new Portal Master was called upon by Master Eon, who survived the destruction of the Core, but became a spirit as a result.
After Kaos was defeated, Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy were the only Skylanders present at the Ruins with Flynn, Cali, Hugo, and Master Eon, listening to Kaos make idle threats in his temporary prison. The three Skylanders all shared a knowing glance to one another, as Kaos rambled on vowing that he'll keep returning until Skylands was his if he was to be banished to the Outlands again. Instead, Kaos was banished to Earth where he was turned into a toy, and shortly after his departure, Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy celebrated their victory together.

Trivia
- Spyro is voiced by Josh Keaton, a well-known voice actor who has done many other roles in animated TV shows and video games, and has also acted out on live action films, such as Young Spartan from God of War II, Destroyman from No More Heroes and Valerian Mengsk from StarCraft II. Out of all the roles he performed, he is most-likely best known for being the current voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the video games and animated programs that he appears in.
- In Spyro's biography in Skylanders, it mentions that Spyro came from "a rare line of magical purple dragons". This is a reference to the Purple Dragon of Legend prophecy that occured only in the Legend of Spyro series.
- Although his second promotional art shows Spyro's claws are white respectively, in the final version of the game, they are yellow.
- Spyro's design in Skylanders is widely hated by the majority of the older Spyro fanbase.
- Unlike the previous games, Spyro's eyes are red, and not purple.
- He also has a forked tongue in Skylanders, which is a traditional feature in dragons of folklore and other adaptions, although so far, he is only shown to have a forked tongue in his CGI look.
- While Spyro's CGI version and toy form have two colors on his wings (with purple on top and completely yellow underneath), his in-game version doesn't possess that detail.
- Spyro is the only Skylander who has a dark varient.
