Dark Spyro's Element is Dark Magic

He is voiced by Jason Ritter.

## Personality

Dark Spyro is more wild, erratic, and darker than his normal counterpart. While in this form, he is always at risk of being consumed by the dark magic. This process worries his fellow Skylanders at times as they fear that the evil forces may eventually corrupt their friend.

Dark Spyro, as his name suggests, is the pure evil counterpart of Spyro; the complete opposite of the hero's goodness and heroism. While Spyro fights for the Skylands, Dark Spyro seeks to help take over it with Strykore. He is ruthless, maniacal, devious and couldn't care less about his friends; a real jerk who enjoys lying and manipulating those he once loved and cared. Like Spyro, Dark Spyro makes some pretty mediocre jokes with the same arrogance, but without a hint of kindness or heroism.

While working as a double agent at Skylanders Academy, Dark Spyro puts on a false friendly facade to avoid suspicion. He is shown to be irritated if something doesn’t turn out the way he planned or if he is pestered by Team Spyro and other characters, not even tolerating their chatter. Working along with the Skylanders is nothing but torture to him. Over the course of being a double agent at Academy however, Dark Spyro grew to see the rest of Team Spyro as friends and family, and became hesitant in wanting to help Strykore; a sign that his good counterpart is still left within him. However once Strykore forced the darkness in Dark Spyro to take over him again, Dark Spyro reverted back to his pure evil state, but he briefly regained his fondness for his friends before completely succumbing to the side of evil.

## Biography

Spyro is a rare magical dragon with the ability to harness the power of the other elements, though he prefers to master fire. However, this innate power also leaves him vulnerable to the influence of dark magic. When The Darkness is nearby, Spyro can channel his energy and combine its power with his own, becoming Dark Spyro. Over the years, he has learned to focus and control his power, using this dark magic to fight the forces of evil.

## Story

During Spyro's battle with Gaul within the Well of Souls, he fell down into the lower floor of the mountain and got caught in the beam generated by the Lunar Alignment of the Celestial Moons that was used to free Malefor. Spyro accidentally combined with its energy, transforming him into a dark dragon. This change of events allowed Spyro to gain the upperhand in his duel with Gaul. When the Ape King demanded Spyro to finish him off, the young dragon hesitated, and Gaul laughed, calling Spyro a coward.
Possessed by the influence of Dark Aether, Spyro used his immense power to turn the advancing Gaul into stone and ultimately killed him out of cold blood. He proceeded to leap back into the beam of the Lunar Alignment, determined to stay in his dark form. Spyro was about to turn on Sparx and Cynder, but he struggled to gain control over his dark form. Cynder jumped into the air and quickly knocked Spyro out of the beam, freeing him from the Lunar Alignment's power and the influence of darkness. Spyro afterwards, felt hurt when he apologized to Sparx and Cynder that he couldn't stop the darkness from doing the actions he had done, before the Mountain of Malefor started to crumble around them.

When Ignitus sacrificed himself to get Spyro and Cynder through the Belt of Fire, Spyro was devastated and refused to believe that his mentor had perished. Cynder told Spyro to let Ignitus's death go, but the darkness the purple dragon unintentionally gained in the Well of Souls three years prior took hold of him, transforming him back into Dark Spyro. He threatened to harm Cynder with levitating rocks as he was willing to go back into the Belt of Fire in an attempt to save Ignitus, telling Cynder that she couldn't stop him from doing so. However, Cynder's words managed to bring Spyro out of the dark influence and he returned to normal, accepting Ignitus's death. He sadly muttered that he felt alone without his mentor, but was then comforted by Cynder, who nuzzled him affectionately and told him gently that he wasn't alone.

Spyro had some sensational skills. Unlike the other Skylanders, he could harness the power of every element, but still prefered his original favourite - Fire. But there was a sinister side to Spyro's ability. Master Eon obsereved this first-hand when The Darkness attempted to corrupt the Core of Light. Spyro began to shudder and shake. His purple skin seemed to flush and flare as dark magic flowed through him like lightning. Only Master Eon's speedily cast spells saved Spyro from a foul fate.

With time, and Eon's tutelage, Spyro had learned to master this dark magic know-how. And when he harnessed energy, he transformed into Dark Spyro! However, only Spyro's brave heart and careful control prevented him from being consumed by darkness.
