Dragon

Dragons are a recurring species in the Spyro franchise. The main and titular protagonist, Spyro the Dragon, is a dragon. The dragons inhabit the Dragon Realms, and in some games, the main plot involves Spyro having to save their. Dragons have the same abilities as traditional s, such flight and breathing fire, although some dragons are capable of using magic. Some games, such as Spyro: Season of Ice, feature Spyro as the only dragon, and the main plot is not focused on dragons.

In the first game, Spyro the Dragon, Gnasty Gnorc has turned all the dragons into statues, and Spyro must rescue them. He can free a dragon from its statue by touching it. A dragon, upon being freed, usually provides advice to Spyro, although some just thank him for releasing them.

In Spyro: Year of the Dragon, the Sorceress and Bianca steal all of the Dragon Eggs from the Dragon Realms. Similar to the first game, Spyro has to recover the Dragon Eggs. Whenever Spyro recovers a Dragon Egg, a baby dragon hatches from it. It usually does a dance or some other pose before vanishing back to the Dragon Realms.
