Biography
That purple blur that just whizzed past your eyes and blew the papers off your desk isn’t your imagination playing tricks on you – it’s Spyro, maybe the greatest Skylander of all time. And this cocky hero would be the first to tell you that! But there’s no denying this is one awesome dragon. Who else can breathe fire, fly like an acrobat through the air, and tell a joke all at the same time? That’s some serious multi-tasking! When the cards are stacked against you, you want a friend like Spyro on your side – because he’ll jump right into danger without thinking twice. He probably won’t even think once! Which might explain why he finds himself in over his head more than he’d care to admit. Could a Skylander this impulsive really be the "Chosen One" like Master Eon believes? Only one way to find out...
Abilities
Like most dragons, Spyro holds the ability to breathe fire and fly using his wings.
Story
History
Spyro first appeared in the series debut as an orphan hatchling born on a remote island in Skylands. Shortly after his birth, he was found and threatened by three Greebles who planned on eating him. To the surprise of his attackers, he was able to defeat the creatures with his strength and newly-learned firebreath. Young Spyro's efforts was observed by Master Eon, who adopted and raised Spyro, convinced that he was destined for greatness. Years later, Spyro became friends with fellow cadets, Stealth Elf and Eruptor. Eon's constant praise on Spyro's talents however boosted the dragon's pride, egotistical behavior and disregard for fire safety (and other kinds of safety), which was fueled even further when Spyro received the highest score in the Skylanders admissions test ever.
Season 1
In response to Spyro's barely passing grades at Skylanders Academy, Master Eon talked with Spyro privately in a secret Relics Room within the school that houses The Book of Skylanders. The old wizard pointed out to Spyro that he needed to put his over-inflated ego aside and his efforts in school would not be enough for him to pass the final test at the Skylander Games. Spyro however was confident that he would ace the Games and become a Skylander. Instead of practicing for the event, Spyro threw himself, Eruptor and Stealth Elf a "graduation party" at their house and partied until he was the only partygoer remaining. The young dragon overslept as a result, nearly missing the Skylander Games. He arrived at the stadium just as Master Eon was about to end the ceremony, but his ego affected his perfomance and gave him a bad head start. While Stealth Elf, Eruptor, and Bad Breath passed the final test, Spyro was one of the two other cadets that failed, much to his shock and disappointment.
The following day, Stealth Elf found Spyro wallowing in his room, still upset after having failed to become a Skylander and letting everybody down. Elf reassured Spyro that he can't be the hero they all know just by feeling sorry for himself before she left him alone with a pancake. Taking his friend's advice, Spyro decided to go to the Skylanders Graduation and support his friends. During the ceremony, Kaos and his Troll minion Glumshanks snuck their way towards the stage and stole The Book of Skylanders. The evil wizard then froze the Book solid to completely immobolize all of the Skylanders inscribed within.
Hearing the commotion from the crowd of Mabu, Spyro raced towards the stage and saw his friends, other Skylanders and Master Eon frozen in ice statues. He then realized that since he wasn't included in The Book of Skylanders, Kaos had no power over Spyro. The young dragon engaged the evil wizard in battle in an attempt to stop him, only to be overcome by Kaos's dark magic and was pulled inside of a dark bubble, forcing him into slumber. Master Eon was able to call out to Spyro telepathically inside the bubble, awakening him, and the dragon managed to free himself by breathing fire inside of his prison until it popped. He quickly returned to Skylanders Academy and confronted Kaos once again in the secret vault. Despite his effort, Spyro was once again defeated, but was able to defrost The Book of Skylanders with his fire breath, freeing everyone affected.
Kaos and Glumshanks were about to bury Spyro alive until he talked, when they were stopped by Master Eon and the other Skylanders, who threw the evildoers out of Skylander Academy and into a pasture filled with aggressive Sheep. As Spyro recovered, he explained to Master Eon that the entire experience taught him so much and that he was ready to try for Skylander status next year. Impressed with Spyro's efforts in stopping Kaos and his show of selfless heroism, Master Eon saw that Spyro was worthy in being a Skylander and sketched him into The Book of Skylanders, earning Spyro his spot in the Skylander Team.
In My Way or the Sky Way, Spyro's impulsive nature caused him to butt heads with Jet-Vac, who felt threatened by the dragon's way of handling situations. The young dragon was later surprised when Jet-Vac unexpectedly moved in with him and his roommates in order to straighten the dragon's rebellious behavior out. This forced Spyro to start hiding from the Sky Baron in the sewer. After their mission to Falling Forest ended with Team Spyro arriving too late to put out the forest fire, Spyro went to the Academy library to read in case Jet-Vac comes to berate him again. Instead, Jet-Vac came to Spyro to apologize for being too hard on the young dragon and that he accepts that each Skylander has a different way of handling things effectively.
Spyro and Jet-Vac soon noticed a lizard-gizzard mascot had walked into the library with a hypnotized Hugo to force him to open the Relics Room that held the map to the Core of Light. Spyro and Jet-Vac, unaware of the identity of the mascot, eagerly wanted him to do the Lizard-Gizzard dance to which the mascot angrily refused, revealing his identity as Kaos. When Kaos attempted to escape, Spyro was surprised that Jet-Vac used his impulse to stop the evil sorcerer, before proceeding to beat Kaos senseless. Afterwards, Spyro offered Jet-Vac to stay at his home in the attic, while it is later revealed that Professor Pop Fizz had been living in the Team Spyro house basement for some time.
Relationships
Master Eon
Spyro was adopted and raised by Master Eon, who is the closest Spyro has to a father figure and mentor. Like the other Skylanders, Spyro is afraid of losing Eon and was determined to reach the Core of Light in order to cure him no matter what.
Crash Bandicoot
In the episode Crash Landing, Spyro develops an admiration for Crash, not only fawning over him, but going so far as to try to dress like him and even copy his moves (which hilariously fail). His apparent admiration was even called out by the Chompy Mage as a man crush. Crash was either oblivious to this, or simply chose to ignore it.
