Fodder is the collective name for small animals and/or creatures that Spyro can defeat to regain health. If a fodder gets defeated, its body disappears, releasing a butterfly for Sparx to eat. Starting with Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, every tenth butterfly released is a special extra life butterfly.
Characteristics
Fodder are various small creatures found within the realms and home worlds. They first appear in Spyro the Dragon. During gameplay, the sole purpose of fodder is to be defeated by Spyro, upon which the fodder releases a butterfly that Sparx can eat to replenish his health if he is not yellow. When Spyro leaves an area where he killed a fodder and later enters it again, he can encounter the fodder again. Sheep and frogs are the most common and recurring type of fodder, the former being the only fodder to appear in every mainline Spyro game.
Starting in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, an extra life is granted for every ten butterflies that Sparx eats.

Trivia
- The Sheep fodder has appeared in every game of the first Spyro the Dragon series.
- The Bat fodder in Spyro the Dragon appears to be the only hostile fodder in the series. They will not hurt Spyro, but they will fly and circle him instead of fleeing like most other types of fodder.
- All the fodder in Attack of the Rhynocs are sheep.
- The Snail Fodder in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! is the only one in the game with 2 death animations; if flamed, it goes into its shell. If charged, it moves onto the top of its shell.
- The Rock Hopper Penguins sound effect that plays when they die would later be reused for Sgt. Byrd in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.
