Cupids[1] are enemies found in Dark Passage and Lofty Castle, both of which are realms in the Dream Weavers home world.
Characteristics
Physical Appearance
These creatures are based on Cupid, the god of beauty and love, whose arrows make the victim fall in love. However the arrows of these enemies are only meant to spread hate and injury. They also greatly resemble devils instead of angels, since they have horns instead of halos and a red complexion rather than a milky white one. They still have their stock of blond hair though.
In the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, the design used for Cupids remains mostly the same, except instead of blond hair, they have flames burning on their heads and their arrows are also tipped with fire.
Behavior
These nasty, winged little fiends are unlike their original mythical counterparts and will try to shoot their arrows at Spyro when he is close.
Tactics
In the original game, because they are too big to charge, Cupids can only be defeated by flame. When you flame them and they die, they make a strange grunting sound. In Reignited, the Cupids can now be both flamed or charged to be defeated, whereas in the original they can only be flamed. They also hover further off the ground.

Trivia
- If there is an enemy between you and the Cupid, the Cupid's arrow will go through that enemy, killing it.
- Their death sound was later recycled and used for the Gators in Spooky Swamp in Spyro: Year of the Dragon, but it's only heard when the rhynocs attack the gators, the gators bite each other on the tail. Or when Sleepy Head uses magic to make them appear.
