Spyro the Dragon is the current Dragon King of Skylands, the Guardian of Aether, and offspring of Dragon King Ramses & the Starborn Queen Aurora. Spyro was conceived through the union of a Starborn and Dragon during the Year of the Dragon, in a world known as Skylands. He is the mightiest and the most beloved hero in all of Skylands, a staunch ally for good and one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse/omniverse. Spyro is also one of two survivors of his generation that lived through the destruction by the Dark Master, Spyro lives to fight evil, everywhere across the realms.

## Tropes

* A-F
* G-L
* M-R
* S-Z

* **The Ace:** Among the original line-up of Skylanders. Spyro, as the Purple Dragon of Legend is rarely matched. The other Skylanders are easily outclassed by Spyro's abilities, and only Cynder has been able to rival him in all aspects.
* **Adaptational Badass:** Compared to his Classic and Legends counterparts, Skylanders Spyro is much more powerful. Unlike in his original adventures, Spyro can now conjure stars, and sneeze away galaxies, he is a highly-powerful Starborn and a champion of all of Skylands. Additionally, Skylanders Spyro is immortal, making him able to respawn instantly after he is killed.
* **Action Hero:** One of the biggest examples in the Angus-verse. He's an enormously powerful warrior who has been trained from birth to fight and has done just that for his thousand year lifespan. Some of the enemies he's annihilated include Gnorcs, Ripto, Malefor, Demons, Chompies, Dark Gods, Arkeyans, Drow, other Evil Dragons, Skylander zombies, space pirates, Prince Xeleth and his Empire... the list goes on.
* **Alternate Company Equivalent:** Many video game fans see him as one to Nintendo's Mario and Sega's Sonic, due to them all being very close to each other in terms of power scaling, all three coming from other worlds, and all three being nice guys to a fault.
* **Anthropomorphic Personification:** Of Magic itself. After having absorbed the Eternal Magic Source into himself, and after drinking the Quicksilver. It only served to further increase Spyro's already exponential power.
* **Battle Couple:** With Nova. A fellow Celestial like him.
* **Born-Again Immortality:** He is basically a reincarnation of himself from the Union era, but when he sacrificed himself for the greater good, he was reborn again, in another world with few memories of his past.
* **Character Development:** Yes, every lead character goes through it to an extent, but compare Spyro's personality from the original game to the one from The Legend of Spyro. It's a startling difference, and there's even more character growth between TLOS and Skylanders.
* **Composite Character:** This version of Spyro takes cues from all three of his previous iterations, including the history of Classic Spyro, the legendary status and powers of Legends Spyro, and his Skylanders incarnation's association to the titular team.
* **Famed in Story:** As Spyro has saved the world multiple times, he has gradually gained a reputation as a truly mighty hero.

- **Half-Breed Discrimination:** Wasn't accepted by either species due to his hybrid nature. This did not stop him from going on a Roaring Rampage of Rescue against the Gnorcs for hunting them though.

- **Hero of Another Story:** Has fought evil and embarked on many adventures in his world with the old Portal Masters having chronicled Spyro's heroic deeds and escapades.

- **Hybrid Monster:** He's a dragon/alien hybrid.

- **The Leader:** For the Magic element, and for all Skylanders; past and present.

- **Purple Is Powerful:** Carries immense power as per his status as a legendary purple dragon.

- **Super Weight:** Level 5 or 6 Depending on the Writer.
