Throughout ''[[Spyro the Dragon (video game)|Spyro the Dragon]]'', ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage]]'' and ''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]'', Sparx helps Spyro collect [[Gems|treasure]], and also functions as a sort of living health meter: whenever Spyro is hit by an attack, Sparx changes color (from gold to blue to green) to reflect Spyro's weakened condition. If Spyro takes enough damage, Sparx disappears entirely, and Spyro will lose a life if injured again. Spyro can recover health by locating and killing certain small creatures called ''[[fodder]]'' placed throughout a level. After the fodder is killed, a [[butterfly]] will appear in its place and Sparx can eat it. If Sparx has disappeared due to sustained injuries, he will appear instead of a butterfly.

Whenever a Dragon is born, they will receive a Dragonfly to protect them. These Dragonflies are trained by the Dragon Masters at the [[Dragonfly Dojo]] to become companions to the Dragons.


In the ''Year of the Dragon'', Sparx appears as a playable character, with four Gauntlet style levels. In these levels, Sparx must defeat enemies and their homes, get keys to open gates for new areas, and defeat a boss at the end, he defeats enemies by using a special beam which comes out of his mouth, by eating more Dragonflies he can breath different beams. After one of these levels is completed, Sparx will gain atleast 1 special ability which include picking up gems from greater distances, pressing L1, R1, R2 and L2 for sparx to point to left over gems, an extra hit point (Sparx shines more), being able to open crates by himself, and being able to warp to any level, any time.
There are 90 dragonflies who appear throughout ''Enter the Dragonfly'', all of which are scattered around the Dragon Realms by Ripto in an effort to weaken the Dragons. They are shown to be very shy creatures who will fly away when Spyro approaches them, only giving up the chase when they are captured with [[Bubble Breath]].

**Despite ''Enter the Dragonfly'' having established the lore that Dragons are given their dragonfly companions at a young age, this bit of lore isn't reflected in later titles, as dragons such as [[Flame (character)|Flame]], [[Ember]] and others in ''[[Spyro: A Hero's Tail]]'' and [[Spyro: Shadow Legacy|''Shadow Legacy'']] don't have dragonfly companions.

Sparx does the same thing as in the originals, except he does not continue to have the powers he earned in the ''Year of the Dragon''.
==References==
Also, we get a better understanding of Dragonflies in ''Enter the Dragonfly''. It appears that when a [[Dragons|dragon]] is born, it recieves a Dragonfly to protect it. 90 protector Dragonflies appear in ''Enter the Dragonfly'', which all got scattered around the [[Dragon Realms]] by [[Ripto]]. By the facts of ''Enter the Dragonfly'', we can also see that dragonflies can be caught by [[Bubble|bubbles]] and that Sparx is a rather small or thin Dragonfly compared to the others.

===[[Spyro: A Hero's Tail]] ===
 
Sparx appears as a health bar once again. It appears that not only do dragonflies (refering to Sparx) have the normal kazoo voice, but they can also talk. It also reveals that dragonflies are the only ones who can use certain items, such as [[Lock Picks|lock picks]]. Players can also buy upgrades for Sparx from [[Moneybags (character)|Moneybags]] such as holding 3 lock-picks at one time and being able to withstand an extra hit (red after green).
 
==The Legend of Spyro Series==
In [[The Legend of Spyro (series)|''The Legend of Spyro'' series]], only three dragonflies were shown, [[Sparx (The Legend of Spyro)|Sparx]] and his parents, [[Flash]] and [[Nina (The Legend of Spyro)|Nina]], however, they appear to be much different.
If we reference to Sparx, we can see that dragonflies, in the ''Legend'' series, do not change colour once hit, and Sparx also doesn't collect gems or have any special abilities. All Sparx does is fly around with [[Spyro (The Legend of Spyro)|Spyro]] and appear as a sidekick.
 
However, dragonflies appear much more intelligent; they speak fluently without any evidence of any kazoo and they are more human-like. They grow up with their parents and aren't chosen as a protection product for Dragons. Sparx is also very sarcastic and silly in the series. The Dragonflies seem to have been neutral during the war.
 
The [[Apes]] also capture dragonflies to use them as lanterns when navigating through the Swamp, as evident when the [[Ape Leaders|Ape Leader]] who attacked Spyro trapped Sparx inside a small cage resembling a lantern.
 
===[[The Legend of Spyro 3D |The Legend of Spyro 3D]]===
According to the plot sypnosis of the cancelled film, the peaceful dragonflies played a role in keeping Spyro's egg safe when it was being hunted as the dragonflies are very hard to find, raising Spyro as one of their own. However, their village was attacked one day and Spyro was found in the process. After Spyro drove off the attackers away with his newfound abilities, the dragonflies told Spyro that he wasn't a dragonfly, but a dragon who carries the role of being part of a great prophecy that will bring peace to all the land.
 
==Skylanders series==
In [[Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure]], [[Sparx (Skylanders)|Sparx]] is the only dragonfly revealed in the game, but is a magic item helping out the [[Skylanders]].
