When Spyro, a young dragon, leaves his home to find the truth about his past, he finds a shocking discovery - the fate of the world rests on his wings.

Characters[edit]
Character | Description | Voice Actor |
---|---|---|
Spyro | A small purple dragon. Adventurous, curious about his past and eager to shape his future. Although he shows the recklessness of an adolescent at times, he is slowly turning into his role as a leader of a proud species. This is Spyro's coming of age as he discovers his true origins and embarks on a quest to fight the mighty Cynder. | Elijah Wood |
Sparx | The dragonfly sidekick to Spyro. He is more cautious than Spyro, but will explore with gentle prodding. Sparx uses wit and sarcasm as a mask for his uncertainty and fear. Friends with Spyro since childhood, he makes a great ally. | David Spade |
Ignitus | A Guardian dragon elder who was once a proud general-like figure, but is now grizzled and a little broken inside. He acts as a mentor to Spyro, guiding him and teaching him the ways of the world, while casting a careful eye on Spyro's well-being. | Gary Oldman |
Volteer | Nimble in both deed and mind, Volteer is the most intellectual of the four Guardians. He often enjoys using big words and inserting barely relevant facts into discussions. | Corey Burton |
Cyril | Coolest of all the Guardians, Cyril is aloof and a bit snobbish. He harbors a carefully cultivated cynicsim which he uses a defense and radar for the rest of the Guardians. He speaks with a strong English accent. | Jeff Bennett |
Terrador | A battle-scarred warrior, Terrador is the most militant of the four Guardians. Dedicated and focused on the practical art of battle, he is straightforward and agendaless. Judges everyone, Spyro included, not by looks, color or species, but by how well they fight. Respects Spyro as a fellow warrior. | Kevin Michael Richardson |
Cynder | The main antagonist of the game. A lithe, powerful dragon with a sultry, seductive voice. Cynder is the classic femme fatale: unstable, alternately calm and explosive, she seeks to free the Dark Master from imprisonment. | Cree Summer |
Flash | A blue dragonfly who is Spyro's foster father and Sparx's biological father. | Jeff Bennett |
Nina | A pink dragonfly who is Spyro's foster mother and Sparx's biological mother. | Vanessa Marshall |
Kane | Leader of the Atlawa. He is strongly independent and believes he doesn't need any help when Cynder's forces take over Tall Plains and captured his tribe. | Phil LaMarr |
Mole-Yair | Leader of the Manweersmalls that live on Munitions Forge. | Jeff Bennett |
Exhumor | Mole-Yair's brother who is more cantankerous than his sibling. | Corey Burton |
Conductor | Head of Cynder's security on Munitions Forge. He operates a menacing steam-engine train named Steam. | Kevin Michael Richardson |
