Purple Dragon

Template:Characterbox Purple Dragons are a special, rare breed of dragon in the Legend of Spyro series and later in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.

The Legend of Spyro series

Template:Q In the Legend series, Purple dragons are born once every ten generations, and can master all four elements, as well as other abilities the Guardian dragons thought were not possible, including time. It is said that the purple dragon is supposed to bring justice and peace to the Dragon Realms.

Notable Purple Dragons

There have only been two known purple dragons in the Legend of Spyro series, Malefor and Spyro. It is unknown if there were any other purple dragons before them. The Chronicler has claimed Malefor to be the first purple dragon, though this fact has been challenged by Malefor himself who claimed that there were many before him.

Role

The destiny of the Purple Dragons is to direct the fate of an era, but according to Malefor, their destiny was to destroy the world. Unlike Malefor, Spyro saved the world instead. It should be noted that while Malefor needed the Destroyer to bring about what he saw was the destiny of the purple dragon by destroying the world, Spyro was capable of undoing the Destroyer's devastation with only his power, which may imply Spyro's view is more correct.

Skylanders

In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Spyro is said to have came from a rare line of magical Purple Dragons that came from a faraway land. Spyro is the only purple dragon shown in the game so far.

Unlike the legendary Purple Dragon status from the Legend of Spyro series, in Skylanders, Spyro only breathes fire, very much like his Classic Spyro counterpart, and possesses no other elemental abilities.

Trivia

• In the Classic series, in the game of Spyro: Shadow Legacy, Zoe commented that purple dragons, like Spyro, really are powerful when he wasn't affected by the Shadow Realm and defeated the dark creatures due to his powerful magic energy. This statement is possibly what gave the producers of the Legend of Spyro trilogy the idea of the legendary status of the Purple Dragon in the Legend series, since they were ones who also produced Shadow Legacy.
• In The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, The Chronicler mentioned that one of Malefor's elements was wind. It is possible that the purple dragon can not only master the four elements, but they can also master the wind element.
• In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Spyro's biography in the game mentions that he "came from a rare line of magical purple dragons". This is a reference to the Purple Dragon prophecy from the Legend series.
