Sparx appeared as a health bar once again. It appeared that not only do dragonflies (refering to Sparx) have the normal kazoo voice, but they can also talk. It also revealed 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).
*In the earlier games before ''Enter the Dragonfly'', none of the dragons besides Spyro has a dragonfly.
 
**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.

In ''The Legend of Spyro'', 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, and they're shown to be having a pair of hands compared to the original series.

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 (The Legend of Spyro)|Dragons]]. The Dragonflies seem to have been neutral during the war between the Dragons and [[The Dark Master]]'s army.

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. Spyro soon rescued him from being used as a lantern and from being separated.

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 were very hard to find, Ignitus gave Spyro's egg to the dragonflies to keep it safe, and they raised 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 [[Purple Dragons|a dragon who carries the role of being part of a great prophecy that will bring peace to all the land]].
