Sparx accompanies Spyro throughout his adventures. Since his debut in ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]'', Sparx has appeared in nearly every ''Spyro'' game as Spyro's protector. Without Sparx, Spyro is susceptible to being defeated in one hit, but if Spyro is with Sparx, he can withstand a few more hits. | Sparx accompanies [[Spyro]] throughout his adventures.

While Spyro and Sparx occasionally converse with each other, Sparx's focus in the ''Spyro'' series is more oriented towards gameplay than narrative: Sparx is the player's health meter personified. Whenever the player takes a hit, Sparx's body color changes, from gold, to blue, to green, and ultimately disappearing entirely, leaving Spyro vulnerable to defeat upon the next hit. The player can restore Sparx's (and, hence, Spyro's) health by defeating small creatures called "fodder" throughout each level. Doing so releases a butterfly, which Sparx devours, recovering one hit point in the process. | While Spyro and Sparx occasionally converse with each other, Sparx's focus in the ''Spyro'' series is more oriented towards gameplay than narrative: Sparx is the player's health meter personified.

Aside from his function as a health meter, Sparx also assists by collecting nearby gems and treasure for Spyro. In later games Sparx's own abilities can be upgraded, including the ability to withstand an extra hit (first with a brighter shade of yellow to represent full health, but later with a shade of red to indicate low health), being able to retrieve treasure from a larger distance, or even the ability to retrieve gems directly from boxes without requiring Spyro to destroy them first. Sparx also points out the location of gems that Spyro has not collected yet. | Aside from his function as a health meter, Sparx also assists by collecting nearby gems and treasure for Spyro.

Sparx also appears as a playable character in several mini-games throughout the later games in the ''Spyro'' series, such as several ''[[wikipedia:Gauntlet (arcade game)|Gauntlet]]''-style levels in ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon'' and ''Spyro: Season of Ice'', and a rail shooter-style minigame in ''Spyro: A Hero's Tail''. | Sparx also appears as a playable character in several mini-games throughout the later games in the ''Spyro'' series, such as several ''[[wikipedia:Gauntlet (arcade game)|Gauntlet]]''-style levels in ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon'' and ''Spyro: Season of Ice'', and a rail shooter-style minigame in ''Spyro: A Hero's Tail''. | ||
