* BootstrappedLeitmotif: The main theme of ''Spyro 1'' has become the song most associated with Spyro himself in the Toys For Bob era, being the main motif of the ''Reignited Trilogy'''s title theme as well as Spyro's theme song in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble''.

* MirrorCharacter: To Kaos. Both are in learning of what they're capable of and want to learn more about their own powers as well as discovering new ones to be the best of their respective sides to not only fight for said sides the best they can, but also to make an impression on those closest to them. Both have arrogance problems and they want to know more about family members they know little about (Kaos' father for him and Spyro's ancestors for him). And when they learn the truths of their respective searches, they do not take it well [[spoiler:and sees it as a betrayal from someone they used to hold dear whom was responsible for banishing what they were searching for]]. [[spoiler:And they are both sons of Eon, with the difference being that Kaos is his physical son while Spyro is his adopted, even if it's not treated as a father-son relation.]]

* BestFriend: In "Space Invaders", it's revealed that he's Stealth Elf's best friend.

* HappilyAdopted: To By Eon.



* HeroWorshipper: Towards Crash Bandicoot. The first time he meets him, he thinks Crash is so cool that he spends the episode trying to imitate him.



* IdiotHero: He got the highest admission score ever when he first enrolled at the academy, but as his ego started to grow, his intelligence grew smaller and smaller to the point where he barely passes his tests, and even after getting over his ego, he doesn't come across as the sharpest tool in the shed. His intellect also seemed to have been affected, as he makes a lot of [[LeeroyJenkins impulsive decisions]] without the awareness or thought of what those decisions can lead to.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Flanderization}}: The post-Insomniac, pre-Legends Trilogy incarnation tended to really play up his ego and snarkiness, often not taking the threats of the other villains seriously and/or being unwilling to help others without some kind of gain for himself. ''Reignited'' brings him back down, but overcompensates a bit by downplaying his ego and brashness and instead plays up his more heroic qualities.

Added DiffLines:

* RecruitTeenagersWithAttitude: Initially a justified case (the other dragons were crystalized in the first game, and couldn't enter the small burrow to the Forgotten Worlds in the third), later games just tend to go with the strategy of Spyro and the RagtagBandOfMisfits he's befriended throughout his adventures doing most of the work to stop the current threat, with the elder dragons giving minimal help at best.

Added DiffLines:

* JerkassToOne: PlayedForLaughs in ''Reignited''. Spyro regularly has an attitude, but is still heroic and with a good heart unless someone genuinely crosses him like the BigBad or con artists like Moneybags. Being the iconic health replenishers of the first game however, sheep are regularly abused for laughs by Spyro and the other dragons without provocation, to the point the first boss turns out to be [[CreateYourOwnVillain a vengeful sheep in disguise]]. Spyro does [[PetTheDog rescue some from Ripto]] in ''Ripto's Rage'' however.

* RageBreakingPoint: Spyro always keeps his anger in check, but sometimes let his emotions get the better of him that are witnessed by his allies, and enemies.
** In ''Stump Smash Crosses the Bone Dragon'', Spyro scolds Chief Curator Wiggleworth for trusting his assistant Squirmgrub (who was secretly a spy for Kaos and had easy access to the Mask of Power pieces, therefore allowing him to steal them) and blames the Wiggleworth for the decisions that lead to Master Eon's capture.
