Spyro the Dragon

Spyro the Dragon, also known as Little Dragon, is the titular main protagonist from the Spyro the Dragon series.
== Charactah Account ==
Spyro is a young dragon living in the Dragon Kingdom. Spyro happened to be too small for Gnasty Gnorc to trap in crystal, so he set about rescuing the other dragons from this fate and resolved to torch Gnasty. Following this, Spyro embarked on similar exploits in Avalar and the Forgotten Realms. Spyro is generally stubborn and laidback, though he is perseverant in regards to whatever goal he has.
Spyro is known for being courageous, headstrong, eager and arrogant. He has an immutable sense of heroism, friendliness, and has a fiery personality. He has little concern for his own safety and can be irresponsible at times, being extremely curious and hardly ever cautious, which could get him into trouble. Spyro gets into lots of mischiefs and is known to be cocky, a trait that can lead to his downfall and blunder.

== Trivia ==
* In the Japanese version of Spyro the Dragon and Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, Spyro was voiced by actress Akiko Yajima to add on the charm of the Japanese atmosphere of the game's release in the Japanese markets. Akiko Yajima has done many popular voices, but she is probably best known for doing Shinnosuke Nohara's voice for the anime Crayon Shin-chan as well as Annie Barrs from the PS2 RPG Tales of Rebirth.
* Spyro makes a cameo appearance in Crash Twinsanity where he appears in the Evil Twins' Treasure Room (without Sparx) to recover his stolen treasure and toasts Dr. N. Gin, N. Brio, and N. Tropy when they try to take it as well.
* Spyro also made a brief appearance in an early trailer for the first Ty the Tasmanian Tiger game, alongside Crash Bandicoot and Sonic the Hedgehog, all three of whom were in a hospital ward, having apparently come away from a battle with the tiger, worse off.
** The game developer of the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger game series would later develop the first two installments of the The Legend of Spyro series.
* Spyro shares voice actors with Crash Bandicoot and Dr. Finkelstein from the Kingdom Hearts series. They were all voiced by Jess Harnell, at least once.
** Spyro and Crash were also both voiced by Carlos Alazraqui.
* Spyro also made a cameo appearance in the South Park episode, Imagination Land.
* Spyro may be at least 12 years old in Spyro: Year of the Dragon since the Dragon Eggs are brought to the Dragon Realms every twelve years, but there is no canonical age in-game.
** The development team of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning would later use Spyro's age for their take on the Spyro character in the Legend series.
* In one of the first game's commercials, the protesting sheep/lamb said Spyro is like "napalm on four scaly legs."
* While Spyro's horns and tail spike are yellow in most art, in the first three Spyro games, his horns and tail spike are orange.
* Spyro is said by Astor to have A.D.D. (Attention Deficit Disorder).
* In the Game Boy Advance classic Spyro games (Spyro: Season of Ice, Spyro: Season of Flame, etc.), the image on Spyro's dialogue box shows Spyro with mistakenly red-colored eyes, which is similar to Spyro's Skylanders counterpart who also has red eyes.
* Ironically, while Spyro had no interest in love and called it a "plague," his counterpart in The Legend of Spyro series was the one who "fell victim to love."
* In gameplay, Spyro did not have significant spikes protruding from his spine until 2004.
* Despite Spyro being a reptile, his body structure, controls, and muscle movements are in many ways feline-like, especially in the games that came before 2004.
* Spyro and Hot Dog from the Skylanders series share voice actors (Carlos Alazraqui and Tom Kenny).
* In the original version of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, when Spyro is using the Supercharge, he will change to his Spyro 1 model. This also happens in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
* In 2019, Spyro makes his first appearance in a Crash Bandicoot game since Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled as a part of the Spyro and Friends Grand Prix as an unlockable racer, which was released in September.
* Spyro has three separate cameos in Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time: the first is a Spyro inflatable pool ring at the beginning of the first level, Rude Awakening. The second cameo is in the level Off Beat, where he appears as a balloon float in the parade. In Tawna's 100% ending illustration, a stack of games can be seen sitting beside her; among this stack is a copy of the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
* In World of Warcraft, a Dragonkin Battle Pet called Spyragos is based on Spyro.
