Dark Spyro (Skylanders Academy)
Template:SkylandersWikia Template:PageSpoiler Template:Youmay Template:MediaCharacterbox Template:Q Dark Spyro is the evil counterpart of Spyro created after Strykore consumed Spyro's light energy, corrupting him into this dark state.
Background
Personality
Dark Spyro, as his name suggests, is the pure evil counterpart of Spyro; the complete opposite of the hero's goodness and heroism. While Spyro fights for the Skylands, Dark Spyro seeks to help take over it with Strykore. He is ruthless, maniacal, devious, and couldn't care less about his friends.
While working as a double agent at Skylanders Academy, Dark Spyro puts on a false friendly facade to avoid suspicion. He is shown to be irritated if something doesn’t turn out the way he planned or if he is pestered by Team Spyro or other characters. Working with the Skylanders is considered “torture” to him.
Over the course of being a spy, Dark Spyro grows to see the rest of Team Spyro as friends and became hesitant in wanting to help Strykore. However once Strykore forces the darkness in Dark Spyro to take over him again, Dark Spyro reverted back to his pure evil state, but briefly regained his fondness for his friends before completely succumbing.
Abilities
Being fueled with darkness, Dark Spyro can channel dark energy through his horns. He can also control technology, including SuperCharger vehicles.

Story
Season 2
Dark Spyro was born shortly after Strykore robbed Spyro of his light energy in Touch of Evil. Dark Spyro possessed an urge to take up two parking spaces at once and saw the Skylanders as his enemies.
Season 3
After getting situated at Kaossandra's Castle in Power Struggle, Dark Spyro was called to Strykore to go over the wizard’s master plan to destroy the Core of Light. To find the location of the Iron Fist of Arkus, an item powerful enough to crush the Core, Dark Spyro and Kaos were sent to capture King Pen, the only one who knows the location to the lost island of Arkus. They were able to capture the penguin Sensei and brought him back to Kaossandra's Castle.
Dark Spyro was able to easily interrogate King Pen into revealing the existence of the Map to Arkus, which is stationed somewhere at Skylanders Academy. Strykore then enlisted Dark Spyro to infiltrate the Academy as an undercover spy to find the map to Arkus, all the while gaining back the trust of the Skylanders that his dark appearance was a result of his battle with Malefor. The dark dragon slipped away to start his mission before Team Spyro arrived to rescue King Pen. Afterwards, he finally met with the Skylanders, Master Eon and Kaossandra at Skylanders Academy, posing as their old friend.

Trivia
- Dark Spyro combines aspects of his original incarnation from The Legend of Spyro and his canon counterpart:
- His appearance is (nearly) the same as his canon counterpart.
- Like his original incarnation from the console version of The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, he speaks with a more sinister voice; but, unlike in that instance, instead of speaking in a darker version of his normal voice, his voice (actor) changes completely.
- His new voice actor is Jason Ritter, best known for voicing Dipper Pines from Gravity Falls.
- His voice actor change in this form was made with the intent to sell a Spyro with a similar appearance and personality, but with an uncanny feeling that it's not quite the same person.[1]
