Spyro is a purple dragon who is the title character of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, and one of the playable Skylanders in the series. He has a dark counterpart called Dark Spyro and a Legendary counterpart, Legendary Spyro. He is one of the three Skylanders that come with the console version starter pack.
Spyro's Series 3 counterpart is Mega Ram Spyro.
Character Development

When the original concept of Spyro's Kingdom was still underway, Toys for Bob originally had a dragon character named Fire Dragon, who would later become Spyro. "Spyro was going to be a full-grown dragon and the king of Spyro's Kingdom. You'd go to him for quests, and he’d tell you where to go and help you on your adventures." While His Purple Majesty was originally going to be a benevolent and regal NPC, "it was felt that they couldn’t have a game called Spyro’s Kingdom without Spyro as a playable character, so Fire Dragon became Spyro."[1]
Background
Personality
Although eager and young at heart, Spyro is a strong-willed dragon who is fearless and brave; a true hero dedicated to defending his world from all things evil. He has encyclopedic knowledge of all the islands in Skylands, more so than any other Skylander. He is always up for adventure. It is mentioned that Spyro is a quick learner, able to master new abilities in a matter of hours.[2]
Although he is well in the company of his companions, Spyro also possesses a headstrong and impulsive side. As shown in The Machine of Doom, he believes that he can do everything by himself as he was used to doing heroics solo prior to being a Skylander, thus resulted in him struggling to work in a team at first (with his friends always reminding Spyro that he doesn't have to do everything by himself). This negative trait seemingly disappeared over the course of being a Skylander, as Spyro shared the glory with his fellow Skylanders on their latest victory over Kaos in Spyro versus The Mega Monsters.
Overtime, Spyro developed into one of Master Eon's greatest leaders in the fight against the forces of darkness, being the first to leap into action and dedicated to scorching evil-doers.
Biography
Spyro hails from a rare line of magical purple dragons that come from a faraway land few have ever traveled. It's been said that the Scrolls of the Ancients mention Spyro prominently -- the old Portal Masters having chronicled his many exciting adventures and heroic deeds. Finally, it was Master Eon himself who reached out and invited him to join the Skylanders. Now calling Skylands his home, Spyro remains one of its most valued protectors, with evil facing a new enemy -- and the Skylanders gaining a valued ally.
Story
History
Spyro is the great, stout-hearted hero of legend, not to mention the number one defender of Skylands. Hailing from a rare race of magic purple dragons, Spyro was born in a land far away from Skylands' furthest frontiers. From a young age, Spyro became a battler for good; a warrior against evil and protector of the peace. His fearless exploits and heroic adventures were even recorded in the Scrolls of the Ancients (and those Ancients didn't keep a record of just any old thing). One of the many Portal Masters who watched Spyro's success with acclaim and applause was the bearded legend himself, Master Eon. It was Eon who transported Spyro through the Portal of Power to his citadel at the Core of Light. Here, Spyro met the Skylanders squad and swiftly agreed to join them in battling all things nasty.[3]
During his time as one of the Skylanders, Spyro defeated the evil dragon Cynder when she was spreading fear throughout the land for many years, freeing her from the sinister control of the Undead Dragon King, Malefor. After Cynder vowed to fight for good, she and Spyro went on a dangerous quest in which the Undead dragoness came out smiling. Afterwards, Spyro convinced Master Eon to sign Cynder up as one of the Skylanders.[4] Spyro was also the one who inspired Lightning Rod to become a Skylander after telling the storm giant his stories of faraway places and dangerous adventures.
There was an incident with Spyro when The Darkness attempted to corrupt the Core of Light. Spyro nearly suffered a terrible fate when he was almost consumed by the dark magic, but he was saved by Master Eon. The old Portal Master then taught Spyro how to control and focus his dark magic. When the young dragon fully harnessed it, he became his sinister alter-ego: Dark Spyro. Combined with his brave heart and careful control, Spyro was able to use this dark power to fight the forces of evil without losing himself to the darkness.
Skylanders: The Machine of Doom
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 crashlanded in their hot air balloon nearby, with Spyro having to save Boomer from where the balloon had landed due to the troll having put dynamite in his ears to mute out Gill Grunt's singing. Hugo informed 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 found out that the sheep weren't really flying, but were being carried by invisible trolls who were led by a 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 scolded the Spell Punk, and transports the wizard and the remaining trolls back to his lair. Spyro confronted the floating head of Kaos and demands why he is after the Chattering Key. The evil Portal Master refused to answer the young dragon and disappeared.

Back on Eon's island, Spyro learned 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 was 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 led 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 discovered the Chattering Key, which was being guarded by the statue of a stone wyvern called Fido. Spyro devised a plan, and his friends confuse the stone wyvern enough for the purple dragon to snag the Key, and the Skylanders made a quick getaway with the wyvern in hot pursuit. Before they can leave with the key, Kaos appeared, having captured Flynn. The evil tyrant revealed that he had used the Skylanders to brave the terrors of the Forest so that he can steal the key from them, and was willing to release Flynn in exchange for it.

Not wanting to endanger Flynn's life for the sake of their mission, Spyro gave Kaos the Chattering Key, and the tyrant summoned 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 used Flynn as a hostage to keep the Skylanders from following him. With the help from the Chattering Key, Spyro and the Skylanders ventured inside the pyramid through the other side where they come across the Machine of Doom itself. As Kaos reached the Machine, Boomer eagerly tried to control the evil contraption but failed, and the weapon itself began to break apart and pyramid around them starts to crumble. As Kaos laughed maniacally at Boomer trying to control the Machine of Doom, Spyro was the only one who figured out Kaos' real scheme.
The machine was really a trap designed by the Arkeyans to capture anyone who might be tempted to steal a weapon capable of destroying the Core of Light, knowing that anyone who passed through the Forest of Fear, got the Chattering Key, and unlocked the tomb was too dangerous to walk free. Kaos tricked the Skylanders into seizing the Machine of Doom therefore springing the trap, intending to bury the heroes alive. As Kaos and his minions were making their escape as the pyramid crumbles around them, Flynn is rescued during the chaos. Spyro attempted to stop Kaos from escaping in his transport portal, but failed when the tyrant fired a magic lightning bolt at the young dragon.
Boomer, now having control over the Machine of Doom, used the mechanical titan to destroy the portal that Kaos was about escape in, and soon used the robot as a way to get out of the crumbling pyramid. Despite knowing that Kaos deserved to be left inside the pyramid in the very trap the tyrant tried to spring on the heroes, Spyro recalled Master Eon's ways on what the old Portal Master would do in a situation like this. Making his decision, the young dragon saved Kaos from being buried alive, and the Skylanders narrowly made their escape just as the pyramid crumbled down into a pit.
After blasting out of the pyramid, the Machine of Doom broke apart, and the Skylanders landed outside of the crumbled remains of the pyramid while Kaos made his escape unnoticed. Spyro, Gill Grunt, Eruptor, and Boomer were then greeted by Master Eon, whom Spyro informed that he and the other Skylanders have underestimated Kaos, but the young dragon declared that he won't do it again. Although Kaos has been stopped, Spyro knew that this was only the beginning since the evil Portal Master would strike again, but also knew that next time they would be ready. The young dragon then celebrated their victory as Gill Grunt began to sing a song again.
Skylanders: Spyro versus The Mega Monsters

Spyro was training with Drill Sergeant, Jet-Vac, and Trigger Happy in mastering his Daybringer Flame attack, but ended up failing the training session when his attempt missed a Goliath Drow illusion and singed only Drill Sergeant and Trigger Happy. Disheartened at the fact that he failed his training again, Spyro was soon tasked by Master Eon to go with Stealth Elf to Stinky Swamp to find a terrible monster the elf had encountered. After saving a Mabu named Snuckles from a couple of Chompies, Spyro and Stealth Elf were attacked by an unusually, giant titchy toad. The toad's toxic saliva caused Spyro and Stealth Elf to fall asleep during the struggle, unable to save Snuckles from the giant titchy toad that was about to devour him and vampire vines that threatened to pull the Mabu apart. The Mabu was then saved by the arrival of Kaos, who used a magic staff to defeat the toad. The evil Portal Master claimed that he was turning over a new leaf by taking down evil doers, much to Spyro and Stealth Elf's complete disbelief.
When the residents of Skylands started praising Kaos for saving them from various mega-sized creatures, Spyro suspected that Kaos was up to something, refusing to believe that the 'evil' Portal Master would suddenly turn over a new leaf out of the blue. He, Jet-Vac, and Drill Sergeant were soon sent to The Desert of Columns to help the Molekin, Diggs, escape from a strangely familiar troll monster, but Kaos saved the day once again, greatly irritating Spyro. Back at Eon's Citadel, the Skylanders, Master Eon, and Hugo were confronted by the Warrior Librarians of the Eternal Archives lead by Chief Curator Wiggleworth, who had learned of Spyro's legendary and heroic exploits from the books of the Ancients. The Warrior Librarians had come to warn Master Eon that their Eternal Archive, a library that holds not only the dangerous books ever written, was in terrible danger.
Upon arriving at the Archive, the Skylanders confronted a mega-sized Chompy Pod that was impervious to all of their attacks due to its current size. The plant soon spored five giant Chompies, in which Spyro ultimately mastered his Daybringer Flame attack in taking down one of the large monsters. As the Skylanders were outmatched by the remaining giants, Kaos appeared, saving the Skylanders from the giant enemies by suspended the Chompies in midair using his magic staff.

Kaos then revealed that as a child he wanted to borrow a book called World Domination for Beginners and other related books from the Eternal Archive, but was told by Wiggleworth that they weren't available for loan (in order to keep the hands from falling into the wrong hands). The evil Portal Master threatened to release the giant Chompies upon the heroes if Wiggleworth didn't hand over a forbidden book to him. When Wiggleworth refused, Kaos released the Chompies to devour the group. Stealth Elf stole the magic staff from Kaos, and used its power to enlarge Spyro two times the size of the giant Chompies, allowing the dragon to defeat the giant enemies while his fellow Skylanders dealt with Kaos and destroyed his magic staff. After the battle, Spyro realized that Kaos's true plan was to test his staff on a few creatures (growing them into a giant size), trick the people of Skylands into thinking he was saving them from the mega-sized animals just so he could attack the Archive and blackmail its curator, who Kaos thought would be blinded by hero worship like others have.
Realizing he was defeated, Kaos fled the scene, but not before revealing that his plan was only the beginning. Afterwards, some of the Skylanders, including the ones present, were brought to the Eternal Archive to help the Warrior Librarions repair the damage done. Master Eon congratulated Spyro on his victory in stopping Kaos, and was more surprised that the purple dragon shared the glory with his fellow Skylanders who assisted him. Spyro then went with Master Eon after hearing that Wiggleworth wanted to show the young dragon something within the Archive's vault. The Portal Master showed Spyro the book Kaos was after, the legendary Book of Power, a book of prophecy that shows the most dreadful predictions, such as the fall of the Skylanders, and Spyro himself...
Skylanders: Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master

After the other Skylanders repaired the walls of the Eternal Archives, Spyro called Gill Grunt over to the halls of the Archives so that he and the Gillmen could look into the Book of Power with Master Eon, Hugo, and Wiggleworth. The two Skylanders were horrified to see a vision in the book showing the Core of Light destroyed and darkness swarming the skies, before seeing a glimpse of the Mask of Power, an evil artifact created by a group of Spell Punks that was scattered across Skylands by the old Portal Masters long ago into eight pieces hidden in objects that were completely opposite to the fragments.
Realizing that Kaos had already found the Tech fragment of the Mask and wanted to reassemble it to use the Mask to destroy the Core of Light, Spyro and Gill Grunt became determined to find the rest before the evil Portal Master does. Master Eon was able to find the location of the Water Fragment from the Book of Power and sent Gill Grunt to Deep Water Wasteland to locate it, while Spyro stayed behind with the old Portal Master.
Spyro soon came to Deep Water Wasteland after hearing from Master Eon that the Gillman was having trouble with pirates lead by Captain Grimslobber, but was relieved that Gill Grunt managed to escape with the help of Zap and Wham-Shell. The young dragon then revealed that Kaos was looking for the Water Fragment as well, and the trio of Water Skylanders quickly continued on with their mission, leaving Spyro to worry about Zap's well-being before he returned to Master Eon via portal.
Spyro later assisted Gill Grunt, Wham-Shell, and Zap in their battle against Captain Grimslobber and his band of pirates on board the Fearsome Fang, successfully winning the struggle with the help of the merfolk. When Grimslobber fell overboard and was eaten alive by a Cloud Kraken, Kaos appeared and revealed that he had beaten the Skylanders to the Fish Master's Crown that supposedly contained the Water fragment to the Mask of Power. As the evil portal Master made his leave, Spyro, Gill Grunt, Zap, and Wham-Shell quickly made their escape off of Grimslobber's sinking ship and back in the vault of the Eternal Archives.
It had seemed the Skylanders had failed their mission, but Gill Grunt checked Grimslobber's satchel he brought back with him and held a dirty rag the captain had used to wrap the Fish Master's Crown. The rag soon revealed itself to be the Water Fragment, making the Skylanders realize that Kaos had stolen nothing more than a worthless broken crown. Knowing that Kaos would be after the next fragment to the Mask of Power, Spyro and Gill Grunt both knew that the Skylanders would be ready for him...
Spoilers end here. |

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 was 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. Spyro and the other Skylanders reached 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 being frozen, Spyro spent much of his time planning on how to lead his Skylanders home, also crossing the mind of breathing fire at Kaos in retaliation for banishing him and the Skylanders to Earth.[5] Soon, a new Portal Master was assigned by Master Eon to lead Spyro and the Skylanders back to Skylands to stop Kaos's tyranny.
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 shrunk and turned into a toy, and shortly after his departure, Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Trigger Happy celebrated their victory together.
Skylanders: Giants
Still frozen on Earth as toys, and placed inside a toy store display, Spyro, Gill Grunt, Stealth Elf, Eruptor and Stump Smash were few of the Skylanders who witnessed Kaos breaking free of his statue-like form due to his power as a Portal Master. When Kaos plotted to destroy Earth after he takes over Skylands, Spyro called out to the tyrant that he would like the see him try and do so, bringing the evil Portal Master's attention to the Skylanders in toy form. Kaos took the chance to taunt the frozen Skylanders, before using a nearby Portal of Power to return to Skylands with the assistance of his butler, Glumshanks.
Relationships
Cynder
Although there is yet to be a known relationship between him and Cynder, Spyro showed the dragoness mercy when he defeated her. Afterwards they embarked on a dangerous quest together, which resulted in Cynder smiling presumably for the first time. Spyro then convinced Master Eon to sign her up as a Skylander.
Gill Grunt
Spyro is best friends with Gill Grunt. As a result of being few of the first modern Skylanders, Gill Grunt and Spyro have been working together a little longer than some of the other Skylanders, forming a friendship based on longevity and shared experiences; both having defended Skylands from darkness and tyranny on countless occasions.[6] According to Spyro, Gill Grunt is the bravest Gillman he has ever met.[7]
Their friendship is also viewed in The Beginning Trailer right at the very beginning when they discuss what they should do together for the day before the battle takes place.
Although Gill Grunt's dreadful singing makes the young dragon's scales tremble, Spyro, like the other Skylanders, are just too fond of the blue Gillman to tell him the truth that he sounds like a bullfrog gargling stale jelly.
Trigger Happy
Other than Gill Grunt, Spyro is also best friends with Trigger Happy, having worked together with the gremlin since their days as the first few modern Skylanders. Their friendship is based on longevity and their shared experiences with each other.[6] In addition to their friendship, Spyro calls Trigger Happy by the nickname of Trigg; (in media and commercials).
Master Eon
Spyro is extremely loyal to the old Portal Master. The young dragon looks up to Master Eon, viewing him as a mentor. Unfortunately, ever since he had met Eon, Spyro had been afraid that one day the old Portal Master would fall to Kaos. His worst nightmare came to life in The Machine of Doom as an hallucination when Spyro was affected by the spores of the Fungus Rings of Despair. He was forced to watch Master Eon being tortured by Kaos, while the young dragon could do nothing to help his mentor. It was until Spyro broke through the hallucination did he free himself from his worst nightmare.
As a result of learning from Master Eon, the old Portal Master's ways influenced Spyro to save his archenemy, Kaos, from a fate the evil tyrant tried to bring upon the young dragon and three of his Skylander friends in The Machine of Doom, despite Spyro wanting to leave Kaos in the very trap he tried to spring.
Kaos
Spyro, like all in Skylands, hates Kaos, the villainous Portal Master who is also the Skylanders' archenemy. The young dragon shudders at the thought of Kaos ruling Skylands and the universe, and Spyro would do whatever it takes to stop the evil Portal Master from fulfilling his evil plans. Although Kaos was a joke at a basic level, Spyro however, underestimated Kaos's seriousness as a villain, and discovered the evil Portal Master's inner deviousness in The Machine of Doom, revealing to the young dragon that Kaos can be a dangerous adversary.
There were a few instances of Spyro saving Kaos when the evil Portal Master nearly gets himself hurt. During these moments, the young dragon considered leaving Kaos to his doom or letting him get injured. But as a Skylander, doing such things would make Spyro no better than Kaos himself[8], and the purple dragon ends up saving his archenemy.
When Kaos was becoming 'hero of the hour' in Spyro versus The Mega Monsters, Spyro refused to believe the evil Portal Master had turned over a new leaf, knowing that Kaos 'is as evil as they come'. This doubt was proven true when Kaos revealed his true colors in the end. Spyro had also shown signs of irritation when he was saved by Kaos more than once.
Gameplay
As a purple dragon, Spyro has the ability to harness the power of the other elements, though he prefers to master fire. He can also charge at his enemies with his horns and knock down obstacles, even lighting them ablaze with the element of fire. Being a dragon, Spyro has the ability to fly.

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 one of the voices of Peter Parker/Spider-Man for the video games and animated programs that he appears in.
- Although his second promotional art shows Spyro's claws are white respectively, in the final version of the game, they are yellow.
- 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 variant.
- Like his classic counterpart in the original Spyro the Dragon series, Spyro still bears a courageous attitude.
- Spyro is one of two Skylanders in the Console and 3DS Starter packs that does not have a Sidekick counterpart (the other being Ignitor).
- In the Ruins of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure there is a young Mabu named Quigley. If you use Spyro to talk to him he will say "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" every once in a while. This could be reference to Spyro being in other games.
- In Giants, in Kaos' Kastle, there is a part of the level that you go though an emepty pool. You must use bounce pads to get to the other edge. Once there, there will be a small building that looks like a shed that you must destory the stone wall to continue. On top of that building is an inner tube that looks like Spyro. There is bounce pad hidden behind the small shed. The inner tube is worth 100.
- Spyro is the only Skylander whose counterparts' official artwork are in a different pose.
- He is the only Console Starter Pack Skylander in Spyro's Adventure not to weild a gun. He and Cynder are also the only dragons to come in starter pack (although Bash was obtainable in the Mega Pack for Spyro's Adventure).
- Series 2 Spyro has the Fireslam upgrade, giving him red, diamond encrusted wing guards.
- Spyro can stun Sheep with his Stun Charge ability.
- Out of all the Skylanders, Spyro is the most recognizable.
