[[quoteright:295:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0-spyro-pose-1_4686.gif]]
The Purple One himself. He's a young dragon living in the Dragon Realms. He can do the usual dragon things: Breathing fire, flying, hitting things with his horns... In the first game, he saved the world because he was the only dragon not transformed into crystal. After that, though, he quickly became a member of the Frequent World-Saver's Club.
->'''Voiced by:''' Carlos Alazraqui for the first game, Tom Kenny for ''Ripto's Rage'', ''Year of The Dragon'' and ''Enter the Dragonfly'', and Jess Harnell for ''A Hero's Tail''. In Japan, he was voiced by Akiko Yajima.
----
* {{Badbutt}}: In the first game, he was rather cocky and overconfident, thinking that fighting Gnasty Gnorc would only require making his butt extra crispy. He mellows out a little bit in the second game, and becomes quite the {{Badass}}.
** BadassAdorable: In the second game onwards.
* BagOfSpilling: Averted. All of the powerups he purchases from Moneybags in the second game are retained in the third (with the exception of the [[GameBreaker superflame powerup]]).
* BerserkButton: Threaten to auction a dragon egg after he went through hell to get most of them? You're only asking for trouble, [[MoneyDearBoy Money]][[{{Jerkass}} bags.]]
** Also, don't hurt his friends. If you do... well, how do you like your butt? [[KillItWithFire Burnt, well done, or cremated?]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He makes quite a few nods to it, most notably in the first game.
* BreathWeapon: Well, he ''is'' a dragon.
* CelibateHero
-->'''Spyro''': It's a sad sight, Sparx. Another noble warrior falls victim to the plague of love.
** Though he does show something of an attraction to Elora.
* DeadpanSnarker
* ElementalPowers: In the original few games, he stuck with fire a lot, but as the series went on, he branched out. Including into ''bubble.''
* EvilLaugh: He does one after defeating Gnasty Gnorc in the original game.
* {{Flight}}: He's usually restricted to just gliding, but with a powerup he can fly freely (but often with time limits).
* KidHero: He seems to be twelve in the third game, though it's unknown how dragons age so he might be older than he looks. Even than he doesn't seem any older than mid-teens.
* MascotWithAttitude: Befitting a platformer from the 90s.
* TheOtherDarrin: He went from Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (in the original game) to Creator/TomKenny.
* PapaWolf: To the Dragon Eggs in ''YOTD''. Just ask the Sorceress and [[spoiler:Moneybags]].
* PlayingWithFire: Of course.
* PreMortemOneLiner: "Happy holidays, fat boy!"
* ShipTease: With Elora, but he doesn't act on it.
* UseYourHead: No matter the game, his two basic attacks are usually "fire breath" and "hit it really hard with his horns." After the second game he also gets a headbutt-based variant of a GroundPound.
* WouldHitAGirl: If they're evil enough, he has no problem torching female baddies as well.

->'''Voiced by:''' Gregg Berger in the ''Ripto's Rage'', ''Year of the Dragon'' and ''Enter the Dragonfly'', and Jess Harnell in ''A Hero's Tail''.
----
* AscendedExtra: In his first appearance, he exists just to offer the odd tutorial and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally start the whole Ripto takeover in the first place]]. By the third game he's playable in some levels. He's also one of few characters from the original games to be reimagined and reused in the reboot.
* BadassNormal: Hunter doesn't have magic, but excels in physical ability and can work well with vehicles and machinery as well.
* ButtMonkey: Getting his feet locked in solid rock, thrown into a wall, stuck in a hole, battered with attacks aimed at Spyro, being kidnapped...
* CastHerd: With Elora and the Professor in the second game, though he is Spyro's right hand man by the third.
* CatsHateWater: Pops up once or twice in the third game, which is bizarre as he's quite happy to scuba dive on other occasions.
* CloudCuckoolander
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When he does fight, he's actually pretty good at it, usually employing his bow, but also using anything from laser pistols to a fighter plane, or sometimes just going toe to toe.
* DatingCatwoman: With Bianca, prior to her HeelFaceTurn.
* DependingOnTheWriter: How tough he is.
* FunnyAnimal: He's an anthropomorphic cheetah.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Spyro seem to become this by the third game.
* LovableCoward: Sometimes he's like this. In the second game, when Ripto steals the power crystal from the Professor, Elora tells him to do something to stop him. His reply?
-->"Uh... [[BadBadActing Hey! Give that back!]] ...Well, I tried."
** CowardlyLion
* TheRival: Albeit a [[FriendlyRival good-natured one]], as he quickly comes to respect Spyro's capabilities during the second game.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Nuanced example, he's fairly competent, but still a ditz who views himself as TheAce in sports.
* TookALevelInBadAss: From a bumbling sports fan in the second game to a competent warrior in ''A Hero's Tail''. Not to say that he was completely helpless before then, however, considering how he could craft vehicles and was able to combat the rabbit-monster that Bianca had accidentally created in ''Year of the Dragon''.
* WeaponOfChoice: Projectile weapons, specifically bow and arrows. He even used one in ''Spyro 2'' in the Fracture Hills level.
* VocalEvolution: Gregg Berger's take became less gruff after the second game, gaining a more relaxed 'surfer dude' dialect.

->'''Voiced by:''' Pamela Hayden.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Something of a foreshadowing she wasn't villain material.
* BlackCloak[=/=]InTheHood: Her attire while she still worked under the Sorceress.
* ButtMonkey: Her spells often go wrong or turn on her. She spent most of her first appearance as an abused bumbling minion to the Sorceress.
* {{Chickification}}: Bianca has been subject to some... [[BrokenBase controversy]] in the later games, where her formerly badass but somewhat {{Adorkable}} personality is replaced by a comparatively weak, stereotypical female one, only showing up to be the TokenGirl or to use her DeusExMachina spells.
* TheComicallySerious
* DefrostingIceQueen: She warms up to Spyro after too many beratings from the Sorceress.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: See MyGodWhatHaveIDone below for details.
** Granted, part of it was due to Bianca [[MinionWithAnFInEvil not being all that evil to begin with]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist as she simply wanted to restore her homeland.]]
* GoodCostumeSwitch: She drops the black cloak just before her complete HeelFaceTurn.
* HeelFaceTurn: Later on in her first appearance.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Still training as a magician and thus some of her spells don't quite end up as planned.
* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Most evident in ''Enter The Dragonfly''.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: While working for the Sorceress. She repeatedly tries to pull off a [[JerkAssFacade villainous facade]] in front of the heroes in an attempt to scare them off, though constantly flops due to her meek and clumsy demeanor.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction to the Sorceress announcing that she wanted the baby dragons for their wings, considering that Bianca had helped her to achieve this goal.
* RighteousRabbit: Ultimately. She ''tried'' to be menacing initially, [[MinionWithAnFInEvil but wasn't all that convincing.]]
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: While acting as the Sorceress' toadie, she is indiscriminately torched in the ass by Spyro and literally chewed up and spat out by a monster she created.
* SycophanticServant[=/=]TheDragon: To the Sorceress, at least at first.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Starts off as such, stealing Dragon Eggs so as to replenish her world with magic. She makes a Face Turn when she finds out her master is...not so well intentioned.
* VocalEvolution: Pamela Hayden gave Bianca a more cheery and helium pitched voice in ''Enter The Dragonfly''.
* WomenAreWiser: She shares more flaws with Hunter than she'd like to admit (clumsy, gullible, occasional bluff and bluster) but does at least seem to have a few more IQ points.

He is later freed by Spyro, who he helps in fighting the Sorceress with his use of shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and dropping bombs on foes.
->'''Voiced by:''' Tom Kenny in "Year of the Dragon" and Jess Harnell in ''A Hero's Tail''.

* BadassAdorable: He's a flying penguin... with missile launchers.
* BestServedCold: Saves breaking out of his cage because he has limited ammunition [[GameplayAndStorySegregation (doesn't stop him in the games, though)]] and he wanted to save it for blasting Moneybags.
* DeathFromAbove: He can pick up things with his legs and then drop them down to an enemy below.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Compare his original characterisation of a GeniusBruiser to his one shot NPC appearance in ''Hero's Tail''. His quest in ''Attack of the Rhynocs'' also gives the impression that he lost his smarts and education for that game, too.

->'''Voiced by:''' Richard Tatum.

* BadassNormal: Relies more heavily on technological weaponry compared to Spyro and his friends, and has no special abilities beyond that.
* BloodKnight
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys

!! [[SelfDemonstrating/SpyroTheDragonClassic Spyro]]
[[quoteright:295:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0-spyro-pose-1_4686.gif]]
The Purple One himself. He's a young dragon living in the Dragon Realms. He can do the usual dragon things: Breathing fire, flying, hitting things with his horns... In the first game, he saved the world because he was the only dragon not transformed into crystal. After that, though, he quickly became a member of the Frequent World-Saver's Club.
->'''Voiced by:''' Carlos Alazraqui for the first game, Tom Kenny for ''Ripto's Rage'', ''Year of The Dragon'' and ''Enter the Dragonfly'', and Jess Harnell for ''A Hero's Tail''. In Japan, he was voiced by Akiko Yajima.
----
* {{Badbutt}}: In the first game, he was rather cocky and overconfident, thinking that fighting Gnasty Gnorc would only require making his butt extra crispy. He mellows out a little bit in the second game, and becomes quite the {{Badass}}.
** BadassAdorable: In the second game onwards.
* BagOfSpilling: Averted. All of the powerups he purchases from Moneybags in the second game are retained in the third (with the exception of the [[GameBreaker superflame powerup]]).
* BerserkButton: Threaten to auction a dragon egg after he went through hell to get most of them? You're only asking for trouble, [[MoneyDearBoy Money]][[{{Jerkass}} bags.]]
** Also, don't hurt his friends. If you do... well, how do you like your butt? [[KillItWithFire Burnt, well done, or cremated?]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He makes quite a few nods to it, most notably in the first game.
* BreathWeapon: Well, he ''is'' a dragon.
* CelibateHero
-->'''Spyro''': It's a sad sight, Sparx. Another noble warrior falls victim to the plague of love.
** Though he does show something of an attraction to Elora.
* DeadpanSnarker
* ElementalPowers: In the original few games, he stuck with fire a lot, but as the series went on, he branched out. Including into ''bubble.''
* EvilLaugh: He does one after defeating Gnasty Gnorc in the original game.
* {{Flight}}: He's usually restricted to just gliding, but with a powerup he can fly freely (but often with time limits).
* KidHero: He seems to be twelve in the third game, though it's unknown how dragons age so he might be older than he looks. Even than he doesn't seem any older than mid-teens.
* MascotWithAttitude: Befitting a platformer from the 90s.
* TheOtherDarrin: He went from Creator/CarlosAlazraqui (in the original game) to Creator/TomKenny.
* PapaWolf: To the Dragon Eggs in ''YOTD''. Just ask the Sorceress and [[spoiler:Moneybags]].
* PlayingWithFire: Of course.
* PreMortemOneLiner: "Happy holidays, fat boy!"
* ShipTease: With Elora, but he doesn't act on it.
* UseYourHead: No matter the game, his two basic attacks are usually "fire breath" and "hit it really hard with his horns." After the second game he also gets a headbutt-based variant of a GroundPound.
* WouldHitAGirl: If they're evil enough, he has no problem torching female baddies as well.

[[folder:Sparx]]
!! Sparx
[[quoteright:250:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sparx_7539.jpg]]
Spyro's best friend, and his health meter. With firefly magic, he keeps Spyro safe from harm, and picks up gems for him. Inquisitive and helpful, he and Spyro stick up for one another through thick and thin.
->'''Voiced by:''' André Sogliuzzo.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: He has a few levels in the third game dedicated all to himself.
* [[FairyCompanion Dragonfly Companion]]
* PlatformingPocketPal
* SuddenlyVoiced: In ''A Hero's Tail'', he suddenly started speaking intelligibly.
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''YOTD'', he becomes playable and saves quite a few eggs himself.
* TheUnintelligible: In ''Year of the Dragon'' and ''Enter the Dragonfly'', he only talks in buzzy kazoo-noises. Though if you make the noises yourself, you'll find that they actually do match up to the on-screen text.

[[folder:Hunter]]
!! Hunter
[[quoteright:195:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hunterspyro_2546.jpg]]
An anthropomorphic cheetah and another one of Spyro's good buddies, this, er, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin hunter]] lends his bow to Spyro's cause. Other than that--[[DependingOnTheWriter well...]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Gregg Berger in the ''Ripto's Rage'', ''Year of the Dragon'' and ''Enter the Dragonfly'', and Jess Harnell in ''A Hero's Tail''.
----
* AscendedExtra: In his first appearance, he exists just to offer the odd tutorial and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero accidentally start the whole Ripto takeover in the first place]]. By the third game he's playable in some levels. He's also one of few characters from the original games to be reimagined and reused in the reboot.
* BadassNormal: Hunter doesn't have magic, but excels in physical ability and can work well with vehicles and machinery as well.
* ButtMonkey: Getting his feet locked in solid rock, thrown into a wall, stuck in a hole, battered with attacks aimed at Spyro, being kidnapped...
* CastHerd: With Elora and the Professor in the second game, though he is Spyro's right hand man by the third.
* CatsHateWater: Pops up once or twice in the third game, which is bizarre as he's quite happy to scuba dive on other occasions.
* CloudCuckoolander
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: When he does fight, he's actually pretty good at it, usually employing his bow, but also using anything from laser pistols to a fighter plane, or sometimes just going toe to toe.
* DatingCatwoman: With Bianca, prior to her HeelFaceTurn.
* DependingOnTheWriter: How tough he is.
* FunnyAnimal: He's an anthropomorphic cheetah.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Spyro seem to become this by the third game.
* LovableCoward: Sometimes he's like this. In the second game, when Ripto steals the power crystal from the Professor, Elora tells him to do something to stop him. His reply?
-->"Uh... [[BadBadActing Hey! Give that back!]] ...Well, I tried."
** CowardlyLion
* TheRival: Albeit a [[FriendlyRival good-natured one]], as he quickly comes to respect Spyro's capabilities during the second game.
* SmallNameBigEgo: Nuanced example, he's fairly competent, but still a ditz who views himself as TheAce in sports.
* TookALevelInBadAss: From a bumbling sports fan in the second game to a competent warrior in ''A Hero's Tail''. Not to say that he was completely helpless before then, however, considering how he could craft vehicles and was able to combat the rabbit-monster that Bianca had accidentally created in ''Year of the Dragon''.
* WeaponOfChoice: Projectile weapons, specifically bow and arrows. He even used one in ''Spyro 2'' in the Fracture Hills level.
* VocalEvolution: Gregg Berger's take became less gruff after the second game, gaining a more relaxed 'surfer dude' dialect.

[[folder:Bianca]]
!! Bianca
[[quoteright:141:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bianca_dragonfly_9440.jpg]]
A rabbit who starts out as TheDragon (no pun intended) to The Sorceress in ''Year of the Dragon'', but after a HeelFaceTurn falls in love with Hunter and becomes one of Spyro's allies. A skilled sorceress herself, her magical abilities have proven to be helpful several times.
->'''Voiced by:''' Pamela Hayden.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: Something of a foreshadowing she wasn't villain material.
* BlackCloak[=/=]InTheHood: Her attire while she still worked under the Sorceress.
* ButtMonkey: Her spells often go wrong or turn on her. She spent most of her first appearance as an abused bumbling minion to the Sorceress.
* {{Chickification}}: Bianca has been subject to some... [[BrokenBase controversy]] in the later games, where her formerly badass but somewhat {{Adorkable}} personality is replaced by a comparatively weak, stereotypical female one, only showing up to be the TokenGirl or to use her DeusExMachina spells.
* TheComicallySerious
* DefrostingIceQueen: She warms up to Spyro after too many beratings from the Sorceress.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: See MyGodWhatHaveIDone below for details.
** Granted, part of it was due to Bianca [[MinionWithAnFInEvil not being all that evil to begin with]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist as she simply wanted to restore her homeland.]]
* GoodCostumeSwitch: She drops the black cloak just before her complete HeelFaceTurn.
* HeelFaceTurn: Later on in her first appearance.
* HowDoIShotWeb: Still training as a magician and thus some of her spells don't quite end up as planned.
* HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Most evident in ''Enter The Dragonfly''.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil: While working for the Sorceress. She repeatedly tries to pull off a [[JerkAssFacade villainous facade]] in front of the heroes in an attempt to scare them off, though constantly flops due to her meek and clumsy demeanor.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Her reaction to the Sorceress announcing that she wanted the baby dragons for their wings, considering that Bianca had helped her to achieve this goal.
* RighteousRabbit: Ultimately. She ''tried'' to be menacing initially, [[MinionWithAnFInEvil but wasn't all that convincing.]]
* SlapstickKnowsNoGender: While acting as the Sorceress' toadie, she is indiscriminately torched in the ass by Spyro and literally chewed up and spat out by a monster she created.
* SycophanticServant[=/=]TheDragon: To the Sorceress, at least at first.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Starts off as such, stealing Dragon Eggs so as to replenish her world with magic. She makes a Face Turn when she finds out her master is...not so well intentioned.
* VocalEvolution: Pamela Hayden gave Bianca a more cheery and helium pitched voice in ''Enter The Dragonfly''.
* WomenAreWiser: She shares more flaws with Hunter than she'd like to admit (clumsy, gullible, occasional bluff and bluster) but does at least seem to have a few more IQ points.

[[folder:Sheila]]
!! Sheila
[[quoteright:230:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sheilakangaroo_5283.jpg]]
The first unlockable ally in ''Year of the Dragon''. Sheila is an [[KangaroosRepresentAustralia Austrialian-accented Kangaroo]] who lives on a mountain with her three goat friends, who she been protects and takes care of. In ''Year Of The Dragon'', she (along with all other playable characters except for Spyro and Sparx) was captured and imprisoned by the Sorceress' Rhynocs. After Spyro pays Moneybags to release her, Sheila becomes Spyro's ally against the Sorceress, [[LaserGuidedKarma after giving Moneybags some well deserved payback]].
->'''Voiced by:''' Edita Brychta.
----
* ActionGirl: A very competent fighter.
* BadassAdorable: She's a kangaroo, for crying out loud.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's a friendly and pleasant lass, but won't hesitate to trample any Rhynoc she encounters.
* TheChick
* DoubleJump
* GoombaStomp: One of her main forms of attack.
* KangaroosRepresentAustralia
* KickChick: Her entire moveset revolves around her powerful kicks and stomps.
* MyFistForgivesYou: After Moneybags frees her, she assures no hard feelings...before buck kicking him hard into a nearby wall.

[[quoteright:240:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sgtbyrd_7166.jpg]]
The second unlockable ally in ''Year of the Dragon''. Sgt. Byrd is a flying [[EverythingsBetterwithPenguins penguin]] who was raised and trained by hummingbird soldiers, and has a secret relationship with a fairy from Charmed Ridge. The Sorceress captured him for [[NoodleIncident 'letting off rockets in the Fireworks Factory']], as well as leading an uprising against her. He is later freed by Spyro, who he helps in fighting the Sorceress with his use of shoulder-mounted rocket launchers and dropping bombs on foes.
->'''Voiced by:''' Tom Kenny in "Year of the Dragon" and Jess Harnell in ''A Hero's Tail''.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He ''is'' a sergeant after all.
* AnOfficerAndAGentleman: Sometimes.
* BadassAdorable: He's a flying penguin... with missile launchers.
* BestServedCold: Saves breaking out of his cage because he has limited ammunition [[GameplayAndStorySegregation (doesn't stop him in the games, though)]] and he wanted to save it for blasting Moneybags.
* DeathFromAbove: He can pick up things with his legs and then drop them down to an enemy below.
* {{Flight}}: His is less restricted than Spyro's (when the latter's not getting in his flying powerup, anyways).
* InterspeciesRomance: His girlfriend, Isabelle, is one of the fairies from Charmed Ridge.
* TheLancer
* MacrossMissileMassacre: As stated before, one of his main combat methods are his shoulder-mounted rocket launchers.
* TheStoic: Much of the time he speaks in a professional matter common among military personal.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: While it is G-rated BloodlessCarnage, the fact James relies heavily on explosives makes him the most destructive of Spyro's allies.

He lives with and protects his younger brother Bartholomew. He's been known to have a liking for magic shows and the noble sport of boxing. He lends Spyro his assistance after the dragon buys his freedom from Moneybags, and delivers a well-deserved smackdown to the bear.
->'''Voiced by:''' Neil Ross in ''Year of the Dragon'' and Fred Tatasciore in ''A Hero's Tail''.
----
* BadassAdorable: A giant yeti.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Normally a nice guy, but if you mess with his little brother, he ''will'' bring down the thunder.

* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti

* CarryABigStick: His WeaponOfChoice.
* MightyGlacier: He's very slow and can't jump very high, but he's the only character who can break hardened doors and chests without powerups.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: His revenge on Moneybags.
* OneManArmy: It took ''two dozen'' rhynocs to take him down.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He tends to talk like this, especially in his introductory cutscene.
-->'''Bentley: ''[to Moneybags]''''' Why, you brazenly avaricious, duplicitous, larcenous ursine!
* TookALevelInDumbass: Compare his original characterisation of a GeniusBruiser to his one shot NPC appearance in ''Hero's Tail''. His quest in ''Attack of the Rhynocs'' also gives the impression that he lost his smarts and education for that game, too.
