| 15 | [[folder:Artisan Dragons]] |
| 16 | !!Artisan Dragons |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The Dragons who inhabit the green and lush "Artisans" homeworld. They consist of artists and craftsmen who dedicate their skills to create various masterpieces, and thus come in a variety of roles such as {{painters}}, actors, chefs, and so on. Spyro is technically an Artisan Dragon. |
| 19 | ---- |
| 20 | * AlasPoorYorick: Darius references the famous Theatre/{{Hamlet}} scene with a dragon skull of his own. |
| 21 | * AngryChef: Alvar has a bit of a volatile temper, slamming a skewer and a meat cleaver down into the ground while he's loudly informing Spyro about the thieves. His concept art in the credits shows him as one of the few Artisans thoroughly annoyed by Spyro's antics, his face accidentally singed by the young dragon while attempting to roast a marshmallow, who can only look on in panic. |
| 22 | * BigEater: Argus is one of the fatter dragons, and judging by his attire, his role as an artisan might be a food critic. |
| 23 | * BigGood: In ''Reignited'', Argus assumes the role of the purple elder who sends Spyro off on the quest to recover the stolen dragon eggs from the Forgotten Realms. |
| 24 | * BigFancyCastle: Nevin is apparently the owner of the castle Toasty takes over, and all the {{paintings}} hanging inside were made by him. |
| 25 | * BullyingTheDragon: Ironically, these dragons seem to have a bad habit of provoking villains' wrath. Lindar lays petty insults at Gnasty Gnorc on TV, causing the latter to attack the Dragon Realms as payback. They also allegedly got into an argument with the Sorceress so heated that she banished them all in a tantrum. |
| 26 | * CoolOldGuy: Gildas is one of the few aging dragons that Spyro is excited to interact with. He's an impressionist painter covered in paint splatters and wielding a paintbrush that's even taller than he is, and enthuasiatically gives Spyro a tutorial about gliding. |
| 27 | * EinsteinHair: Lindar has this. |
| 28 | * FeatheredDragons: Alban has feathered wings, as well as hair and a mustache made of feathers. He even plucks one of his own feathers and uses it as a makeshift quill pen. |
| 29 | * GentleGiant: Devlin, one of the larger dragons out there, is described as being a big earnest marshmallow. |
| 30 | * HighClassGlass: Alban wears a monocle over his left eye. |
| 31 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Lindar takes over Astor's interview with Bob to give his brutal and honest thoughts about Gnasty Gnorc (instigating his attack in the process), but later on is the one helping Bubba get out of Bianca's hole and is cooing over a newborn hatchling even more than the other adult dragons present. |
| 32 | * LaserGuidedKarma: The dragons are first petrified by Gnasty Gnorc [[TemptingFate after mocking him on TV]]. In the ''Reignited'' version of the final ending, the dragons can be seen playing basketball with a helpless sheep before getting zapped a second time. |
| 33 | * PrehensileTail: Gavin uses his tail to pour himself a cup of coffee upon being freed. Alvar also uses the spikes on his tail to hold onto ingredients used in his cooking and Devlin is usually seen wrapping his tail around a large cherry. |
| 34 | * RaisedByTheCommunity: The end credits art in Reignited heavily imply that all the Artisan Dragons shared the role in raising Spyro. |
| 35 | * RealMenTakeItBlack: Gavin, a buff dragon covered in tattoos, pours himself a cup of coffee upon being freed, and drinks it straight black. He's also one of the dragons that participates in the RunningGag of saying "...strong, like me". |
| 36 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Astor is the dragon being interviewed in the intro who can't remember how many dragon realms there are or how much treasure they've collected. |
| 37 | * SupremeChef: Devlin is a baker, Alvar does barbeque, and Gavin is a barista. |
| 38 | * SweetBaker: Devlin, the GentleGiant patissiere who bakes Spyro a massive cake as a thank you gift for freeing him. He contrasts greatly against the hotheaded and fellow Town Square cook Alvar. |
| 39 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Lindar, the blue clock-making dragon, was the one who called Gnasty Gnorc ugly on TV, pushing him over the edge and causing all the dragons to be encased in crystal. |

| 42 | [[folder:Peace Keeper Dragons]] |
| 43 | !!Peace Keeper Dragons |
| 44 | The Dragons who inhabit the desertic "Peace Keepers" homeworld. They consist of a military force of weapon-welding warriors and fighters who protect the Dragon Realms. The harsh conditions of their home lands make it ideal for their militaristic nature. |
| 45 | ---- |
| 46 | * AnimalEyes: Much like the Beast Makers in the original games, Todor's eyes in ''Reignited'' have vertical slit pupils and coloured sclerae. |
| 47 | * AnimalMotifs: Magnus' design is highly based on thorny devils, Boris has the tail of a rattlesnake, while Ivor's pink skin and white fur around his neck makes him resemble a vulture, and Todor's rabbitlike ears and antler-shaped horns bring deer or [[FearsomeCrittersOfAmericanFolklore jackalopes]] to mind. |
| 48 | * ArtificialLimbs: Marco has prosthetic wings, although he doesn't seem to have any trouble flying. |
| 49 | * BadassesWearBandanas: Trondo wears a red bandana evocative of Franchise/{{Rambo}}. |
| 50 | * BigEater: Maximos' conversation with Spyro about Dry Canyon's annoying vultures quickly devolves into him gushing about how great they taste and a number of ways to cook them. |
| 51 | * CarryABigStick: Maximos has a rounded hammer, Halvor has a giant ram-shaped mace, and Enzo has a three-bladed club. |
| 52 | * DragonKnight: Conan and Marco look the closest to the classical image of an European knight. |
| 53 | * DreadlockWarrior: Trondo has dreadlocks in ''Reignited''. |
| 54 | * {{Expy}}: Conan is a deliberate send-up of ''Literature/DonQuixote''. |
| 55 | * EyepatchOfPower: Gunnar wears an eyepatch over his left eye. |
| 56 | * FatAndProud: Magnus, being a sumo, is obviously proud of his large belly as he shakes it around, while telling Spyro to feed Sparx lots of butterflies. |
| 57 | * FeatheredDragons: Enzo and Todor are the only Peace Keepers with feathered wings. |
| 58 | * JoustingLance: This is Conan's primary weapon. |
| 59 | * {{Mayincatec}}: Enzo's new design is that of an indigenous warrior inspired by either Mayan or Aztec fashion. |
| 60 | * OldSoldier: Ivor. He’s a bombardier going by the pilot’s goggles and bomb he’s holding. And going by the scars, bandages, and medals he’s wearing, he’s clearly seen more than a little action. |
| 61 | * RealMenWearPink: Halvor. Bright, vivid pink scales, ''massive'' hammer as big as he is that he's able to wield with ease. |
| 62 | * RuggedScar: A number of these dragons, being more accustomed to physical fights than the others, have noticeable battle scars. |
| 63 | * ScaryTeeth: Gunnar doesn't seem to have an upper lip, so his sharp teeth really stand out. |
| 64 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Ivor says that they always knew something was special about Spyro even when he was a kid but he forgets what it was, and then proceeds to accidentally ignite the fuse on the bomb he's carrying when leaving. There's also Asher, who forgot what he was doing before he was frozen. |
| 65 | * SumoWrestling: Magnus has attire resembling what a sumo might wear, has the girth to back it up, and even does some sumo poses when he's freed. |
| 66 | * TailSlap: Ragnar has some stone tied to his tail, essentially turning it into a hammer. |
| 67 | [[/folder]] |
| 68 | |
| 69 | [[folder:Magic Crafter Dragons]] |
| 70 | !!Magic Crafter Dragons |
| 71 | The Dragons who inhabit the mountainous "Magic Crafters" homeworld. They're researchers and practitioners of magic who come up with new spells, potions and magical artifacts for other Dragons to use. They are described as rather shy and hermetic, so they make their homes in mountaintops. |
| 72 | ---- |
| 73 | * AbsurdlySharpClaws: Kelvin has noticeably long and sharp claws. |
| 74 | * AlchemyIsMagic: Boldar carries a cauldron with him, Eldrid carries potions and has equations written on his wings. |
| 75 | * ArtificialLimbs: Zander has wings made from floating crystals. |
| 76 | * BadassBookworm: Cedric's location by the High Caves exit has a miniature library, and he himself is reading a book when you rescue him. Unlike other dragons who (attempt to) fly away, Cedric simply just goes back to reading as the pedestal takes him away to safety. |
| 77 | * CardsOfPower: Zantor has a set of floating cards with him. |
| 78 | * CrystalBall: Altair carries one with him. According to his model, he also wields a Magic8Ball. |
| 79 | * EinsteinHair: Eldrid is an alchemist dragon with hair like this. |
| 80 | * FeatheredDragons: Kelvin, Jarvis and Altair have feathered wings. |
| 81 | * FloatingLimbs: Zander doesn't have standard wings, but wings made from floating crystals held together by magic. |
| 82 | * LovableCoward: Zane begins to huddle up and tremble in fear of the thought of the beasts moments after being freed. |
| 83 | * MagicStaff: Cosmos, the likely first dragon you meet, wields one of these, as do Cyrus, Ajax and Hexus. |
| 84 | * MonochromaticEyes: A trait of all Magic Crafters in the original game was that their eyes were all composed of a solid colour. |
| 85 | * PowerFloats: Zane floats as he talks to Spyro. |
| 86 | * RobeAndWizardHat: Subverted since none of the dragons wear full robes, but Cyrus and Jarvis both wear traditional wizard hats. |
| 87 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Spyro's encounter with Boldar is largely reminiscent of what occurred earlier with Astor, explaining a mechanic (in his case the flight realms) and then attempting to tell a story about learning to fly as a kid. Altair is the only sole dragon in a boss realm who does not give Spyro any hints on how to take said opponent on, forgetting who he is mid-conversation and not faring much better in regards to his whereabouts. |
| 88 | * SpellBook: A lot of them carry books or scrolls, including Zane, Kelvin, Cedric, Jarvis and Hexus. |
| 89 | * TrrrillingRrrs: Several of the Magic Crafters in the original game does this. In ''Reignited'', Cosmos does this sometimes. |
| 90 | * WhenIWasYourAge: Boldar tries to launch into a story about when he was young and learning how to fly, but Spyro cuts him off. |
| 91 | [[/folder]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | [[folder:Beast Maker Dragons]] |
| 94 | !!Beast Maker Dragons |
| 95 | The Dragons who inhabit the swampy "Beast Makers" homeworld. They're swamp-dwellers responsible for breeding new species of animals to live in the world. Their choice of swamps and treetops for homes allows them gather materials for their trade. |
| 96 | ---- |
| 97 | * AnimalEyes: In the original trilogy, the Beast Makers all had serpentine sclerae and pupils, whereas in ''Reignited'' all but a couple of them have white eyes or round pupils. |
| 98 | * AnimalMotifs: A lot of them have traits evocative of animals one might find in a swamp, such as toads or alligators. |
| 99 | * BoisterousBruiser: Bubba is one, even more so than a lot of the Peace Keeper dragons. His muscular build contrasts greatly to the other Beast Makers, most of whom are plump and with a couple of scrawny ones like Rosco and Isaak sprinkled in. |
| 100 | * FaceOfAThug: WordOfGod describes Sadiki as being one of the friendliest Beast Makers in spite of an intimidating appearance. |
| 101 | * FeatheredDragons: Jed has colorful feathered wings. |
| 102 | * {{Gonk}}: Zeke is a very odd looking dragon, being based on a matamata turtle, and has a long pig-like nose. |
| 103 | * LazyBum: Cyprin gives this impression, as when he's freed, he lays down on his side. |
| 104 | * MadEye: Rosco, the dragon paranoid about Attack Frogs, has one eye bulging out and one eye half closed. |
| 105 | * OralFixation: Cyprin chews on a piece of barley, while Bubba chews on a piece of grass. |
| 106 | * PapaWolf: Bubba, the only non-Artisan dragon present in ''Year of the Dragon'''s cutscenes in Reignited, is the one who charges after Bianca in an attempt to retrieve the last egg and gets stuck in the hole leading to the Forgotten Realms as a result. |
| 107 | * PlantPerson: A few of them have plant-like traits. Cleetus is covered in lilypads, clovers and algae, and has a swampy plant on his head as well as a leafy looking beard. Lyle carries a strange spiked fruit with him and has plant-like wings and growths along his body. |
| 108 | * RaginCajun: A trait shared by many of them is their Cajun accent. |
| 109 | * WhenIWasYourAge: Damon says it feels like he's been trapped in crystal since he was Spyro's age and tries to tell a story from his youth, but Spyro, as usual, makes an excuse to leave. |
| 110 | * WitchDoctor: A lot of them evoke the image of one, as they live in a swampy environment and carry staffs made from animal parts. |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder:Dream Weaver Dragons]] |
| 114 | !!Dream Weaver Dragons |
| 115 | The Dragons who inhabit the surreal "Dream Weavers" homeworld. They're mystical beings who live up in the sky and regulate the dreams of other Dragons at night. |
| 116 | ---- |
| 117 | * AnimalMotif: Copano is a round dragon with cloud patterns on his body, and has curled horns with a bell hanging from one, evoking the image of a ram. |
| 118 | * CelestialBody: A lot of them have feathered wings patterned to look like the night sky with stars. |
| 119 | * DreamLand: They live in one. |
| 120 | * DreamWeaver: True to their name, they're usually creating dreams for the other dragons to experience when they're not dealing with nightmares. |
| 121 | * FantasticLightSource: Apara carries a magic lantern, while Kosoko carries a blue-flamed candle in his hand as well as on his horns. |
| 122 | * FeatheredDragons: With only a few exceptions, all of the dragons here have feathered wings. |
| 123 | * GentleGiant: Mudada is a big softie -- multiple parts of his body such as his horns and wings even look like they're made of plushies. He really likes fairies and even carries a stuffed fairy doll. |
| 124 | * LotusPosition: Lateef stands on his tail whilst keeping his legs crossed. |
| 125 | * LovableCoward: Apara is quite easily spooked and muses to Spyro that he'd prefer not to help him confront Gnasty [[{{Foreshadowing}} lest he be trapped in crystal again]]. |
| 126 | * OurMagesAreDifferent: Contrasting from the Magic Crafters, who give off more of a WizardClassic vibe, the Dream Weavers are more like mystics themed around dreams and sleep. |
| 127 | * PajamaCladHero: A number of them wear items associated with bedtime, including nightcaps, robes, slippers and sleep masks. |
| 128 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Revilo's peculiar but accurate advice to Spyro about fighting Jacques aside, [[AvertedTrope they're notably the only dragon clan who lacks a member that comes off as one]]. |
| 129 | * ShockAndAwe: Useni's horns give off some kind of electric energy. |
| 130 | * TextileWorkIsFeminine: Averted with Revilo, who is male like the rest of the dragons, and is, as his character designer puts it, [[MundaneMadeAwesome "knitting his own body"]]. |

| 141 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Melissa Disney (''Ripto's Rage!''), Carolyn Lawrence (''Year of the Dragon''), Creator/CassandraLeeMorris (''Reignited Trilogy'') |
| 142 | |
| 143 | ->''"Right now, I have to follow Ripto and see what he's up to. I'll meet you in Summer Forest, okay?"'' |
| 144 | |
| 145 | A faun from Avalar. She meets Spyro when he lands in Avalar in ''Ripto's Rage!'', acting as a guide and helping him fight Ripto and his minions. |
| 146 | ---- |
| 147 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: While she remains identified a faun, the original ''Ripto's Rage!'' has her look like a human from the waist up, while the ''Reignited'' version made her more beast-like as a whole, giving her almost an anthropomorphic goat appearance. |
| 148 | ** Interestingly, the developers originally wanted her to be a [[OurCentaursAreDifferent centaur]], but settled for a faun after they realized how many pixels this would require and how hard it'd be to make her do anything given the graphical limitations of the system. |
| 149 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: In ''Ripto's Rage!'' when Spyro mistakes her for "some kind of goat", she gives a slightly sharp correction that she's actually a faun. In ''Reignited Trilogy'', she responds and even calls him a "dork" more playfully. |
| 150 | * ArtEvolution: ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'' [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Spyro/comments/18g1zyt/a_direct_comparison_between_the_reignited_left/ gives a slight update]] to Elora's "Reignited" design. She appears slightly older, has a rounder chin, a more animal-like face, and [[AdaptationalModesty her dress now covers the area between her legs]]. |
| 151 | * BackForTheFinale: Her appearance in ''Year of the Dragon'' takes place at the end of Creator/InsomniacGames' last developed ''Spyro'' title. |
| 152 | * BlowYouAway: One of her attacks in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'' is the Tornado Kick, which creates a mini-tornado that homes in on opponents and crates. The attack can be charged to make a larger tornado that does knockback. |
| 153 | * BossArenaRecovery: She throws Spyro some sheep and chickens to replenish Sparx with during the main boss fights of ''Ripto's Rage!''. |
| 154 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: ''Reignited Trilogy'' and cameo at the end of ''Year of the Dragon'' aside, she's never mentioned again in the original continuity after ''Year of the Dragon''. WordOfGod is that she was originally intended to be playable in ''Season of Flame''. |
| 155 | * TheCutie: The ''Reignited Trilogy'' turned her into this, with an implied AgeLift to make her look younger, a cuter redesign with bigger eyes, and a much [[AdaptationalNiceGuy softer, kinder personality]] all coming together to make her much cuter than she was in the original games. |
| 156 | * DemotedToExtra: She is the only major character originating from ''Ripto's Rage!'' to not return in a major role in ''Year of the Dragon'', and her only appearance after that game is on a trading card in ''Orange''. |
| 157 | * FaunsAndSatyrs: She's a faun, you dork! |
| 158 | * FirstGirlWins: She's the first girl that Spyro meets, unless one counts the save-point fairy, and they have an implied interest in each other. They get several moments of ShipTease in both ''Ripto's Rage!'' and ''Year of the Dragon'', with the ''Reignited Trilogy'' making these moments more evident and two-sided, with more flirtatious tone and a tweaked ending cutscene to ''Year of the Dragon'' that has Spyro actively cuddling up with Elora to watch fireworks. Whilst Sheila and some of the other female fauns could be interpreted as flirting with Spyro, none of them do it to the extent that Elora does. The only female character who makes a serious attempt to seduce Spyro is Ember, whom Spyro expresses no interest in and who gives up on him to pursue an armadillo named Bandit. |
| 159 | * GardenGarment: Her ''Reignited Trilogy'' redesign has her wear a dress and armbands that appear to be made almost entirely of leaves, a trait she shares with other fauns in the second game. |
| 160 | * GuestFighter: Appears alongside Spyro and Ripto as a playable character in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble''. |
| 161 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Her design in the original [=PlayStation=] games is part human, part goat, part fox, and she only wears a green corset-like garment. Her redesign in ''Reignited Trilogy'' makes her look more like her species’ basis now with a leafy dress and armbands, but that still has nothing worn on the bottom. Her ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'' design averts this, as her dress covers more of her lower body. |
| 162 | * HoldingOutForAHero: Elora has a tendency to volunteer other characters to challenge the bad guys. In all fairness, she had [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes some reasoning for it]] in Spyro's case. |
| 163 | * NiceGirl: She shows a great deal of compassion toward Spyro in ''Ripto's Rage!'', offering to teleport him to unused portals and helping him fight Crush and Gulp. She knows he's missing out on a vacation and does her best to make his time in Avalar as painless as possible, even sending for a beach chair and umbrella for him once Gulp is taken care of. When she calls Spyro a dork for asking if she's a goat in ''Reignited'', it's done in jest unlike in the original game. |
| 164 | * PromotedToPlayable: She made her first ever playable appearance during Season 3 of ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble''. |
| 165 | * RedheadInGreen: It's the only outfit we ever see her in. |
| 166 | * SheFu: She can attack using a Cartwheel Kick in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble''. This move can be chained into the Flash Kick, which does knockback and launches her skyward. |
| 167 | * ShipTease: |
| 168 | ** The original version of ''Ripto's Rage'' implies that Elora gains a crush on Spyro after his heroic deeds in Avalar, with her kissing Spyro on the head in gratitude after he beats Ripto in the Winter Palace. Spyro responds by inviting her to join him at Dragon Shores once the portal is finally activated. If the player completes the hidden skill point challenges and unlocks the bonus epilogue, it's shown that Elora did take Spyro up on that offer eventually and even went on the Tunnel of Love ride with him, going so far as to try and kiss him... however, Spyro either ignores her or fails to notice her intent, with the text under the still reading "Spyro misses his chance with Elora". |
| 169 | ** In the ending cutscene for ''Year of the Dragon'', Elora shows up at the start of the cutscene just to ask Spyro if he'll ever come and visit her in Avalar. with Spyro reassuring her that he will. At its ending, she catches up with Spyro and invites him to watch the fireworks with her, although the camera moves away to begin the end credits before the player sees or hears his response. |
| 170 | ** The ''Reignited Trilogy'' amps up the ship-teasing. Spryo and Elora's interactions upon his meeting up with her in Summer Forest are more flirtatious in tone, and their expressions and body language more solidly indicate an interest in each other. The most overt display is at the ending of the ''Year of the Dragon'' finale cutscene; in this version, after Elora suggests she and Spyro watch the fireworks, they're shown sitting down together to do just that, with Spyro cuddling up to Elora and even placing his wing around her back. |
| 171 | * SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: She's the only green-eyed redhead faun, with the other faun girls being pale grey with black hair. |
| 172 | * SmoochOfVictory: She gives Spyro a peck on the nose or the head (original/Reignited) after he defeats Ripto. |
| 173 | * SquishyWizard: In ''Crash Team Rumble''. She can land some mean kicks, and her Heal Aura magic allows her to replenish her health. She has a pitifully small health meter compared to everyone else however, meaning if an opponent catches her while recharging, she will go down fairly quick. |
| 174 | * WhiteMage: In ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRumble'', she can use her Heal Aura to heal herself or her teammates. |

| 185 | |
| 186 | A fairy friend of Elora's. Zoe offers Spyro advice and serves as a checkpoint for him throughout his adventures. |
| 187 | ---- |
| 188 | * CowardlyLion: In ''Reignited's'' rendition of ''Ripto's Rage!'', when Ripto first appears to antagonise Spyro, [[BigDamnHeroes Zoe stops him by her own accord]], and tries desperately to fight his scepter away from him, Crush and Gulp, despite being much more audibly terrified of them in this take. |
| 189 | * DamselInDistress: In ''Ripto's Rage!'', Ripto nearly feeds her to Gulp before Spyro saves her. Later in ''Season of Ice'', Grendor the rhynoc encases her and the other fairies in ice. She's able to send Spyro a DistressCall first, but Spyro has to save the ninety-nine other fairies before she can be rescued. |
| 190 | * ExpositionFairy: She appears numerous times throughout Spyro's adventures, and provides a lot of context and information early on in the game. |
| 191 | * NiceGirl |
| 192 | * PaletteSwap: In both the original ''Year of the Dragon'' and the ''Reignited'' version, all of the other fairies seen in the game use her model but with different colors. |
| 193 | * SavePoint: Functions as this. |
| 194 | * ShockAndAwe: Her wand can shoot out zaps of electricity. They're usually harmless to Spyro, though each kills a million brain cells according to her in ''A Hero's Tail''. The zaps can hurt Ripto, as seen in ''Ripto's Rage!''. |
| 195 | * StatingTheSimpleSolution: After Spyro defeats Grendor in ''Season of Ice'', she says that he could have asked her to reverse the spell instead of causing so much trouble in the Fairy Realms trying to find a cure for his extra head on his own. |
| 196 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To the original blonde-haired save fairy from the first game. |
| 197 | * TokenWizard: Out of all of the protagonists in ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!'', Zoe is the only member who has any level of magical skills. In this case, she is a FairyCompanion that zaps Spyro with her wand to save his progress. |
| 198 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Downplayed. In ''A Hero's Tail'', she seems to take a sadistic amount of glee in repeatedly zapping Spyro with her wand despite knowing each zap kills a million of his brain cells. |
| 199 | * YourSizeMayVary: Zoe is about as tall as Spyro in gameplay, but during cutscenes she's shown to only be a foot tall. Ripto is easily able to restrain her as such. |

| 211 | A genius mole from Avalar, and an unrivalled expert in superportal technology. He ends up in the Forgotten Worlds somehow in ''Year of the Dragon'' and establishes a base, and later seems to move to the Dragon Kingdom full-time. Two of Spyro's allies are his students: his ex-lab experiment Agent 9, and his nephew Blink. |
| 212 | ---- |
| 213 | * AbsentMindedProfessor: Especially in the later games. |
| 214 | * BlindWithoutEm: Ripto's attack immediately after his arrival leaves the Professor's glasses shattered and him unable to do anything to the superportal to stop him as a result. |
| 215 | * EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: Nobody calls him anything but "Professor." |
| 216 | * EyesAlwaysShut: Is given these in ''Reignited'', which fits in with the [[AnimalStereotypes stereotype of moles having bad vision]]. |
| 217 | * FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: In contrast to [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal Elora]] and [[AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal Hunter]], the Professor wears a full outfit of labcoat, pants and shoes in all of his appearances. |
| 218 | * IdiotBall: Clings onto it hard near the end of ''A Hero's Tail'', where he thinks he can take on [[spoiler:a recently-weakened Red]] by himself. He promptly goes after him, gets himself captured and is then [[spoiler:forced to upgrade Red's gnorc army into battle-ready robots]]. |
| 219 | * IdleAnimation: He constantly writes on a clipboard, thinking out loud "Nooooo..." until he has a EurekaMoment and lets out a big "AH-HA!" |
| 220 | * MissionControl: For Agent 9 in his world. |
| 221 | * NiceGuy: A very friendly, loyal, charming and affable professor. |
| 222 | * NoNameGiven: See EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep. |
| 223 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: In his charactertization in the ''Shadow Legacy'' canon, the Professor doesn't believe in the concept of magic, despite being around magic in the previous games, particularly in ''Ripto's Rage!''. |
| 224 | * TheProfessor: Of course. |
| 225 | * TheSmartGuy: Usually serves as the brains for Spyro's team across the games, predominantly in ''Ripto's Rage!'', ''Attack of the Rhynocs'' and ''A Hero's Tail''. He's a master of creating spatial technology and decided to get into time travel during ''Season of Ice''. |

| 237 | ->''"I could arrange for you to cross this bridge, for... (ahem)... a small fee.''" |
| 238 | |
| 239 | A greedy bear who shows up to offer various paid services to Spyro, with the intent of extorting him. This includes unlocking entire levels and abilities needed for progression. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AdamSmithHatesYourGuts: He knows much of what Spyro needs to advance, and forces him to pay for it to buy things ''he'' wants ''himself''. |
| 242 | * AffablyEvil: Pretty polite for an ArmsDealer and kidnapper. At times though, he can come close to FauxAffablyEvil, such as when he makes Spyro pay him a bunch of gems to learn the password to open a door, then tells Spyro the password is "Gullible", before admitting that there was no password and he was standing in front of the wall switch, saying "What are you gonna do, sue me?" |
| 243 | * AristocratsAreEvil: Talks in an upper-class accent, dresses in expensive clothing and is a borderline sociopath who'll sell out to anyone for the right price. |
| 244 | * ArmsDealer: He sold weapons to the Breeze Builders during their conflict with the Land Blubbers, as well as a laser defense system to the residents of Frozen Altars ([[ConMan which they couldn't use because of their flippers, of course]]). |
| 245 | * BearsAreBadNews: For your wallet and attempts to thwart the current villain. |
| 246 | * {{Blackmail}}: He goes from simply dishonest to downright extortionist in ''Year of the Dragon'', as he holds Spyro's friends hostage until he pays up. |
| 247 | * BoxingBattler: He claims to have been one in his University days. |
| 248 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Say no to him in Icy Peak in ''Year of the Dragon'' and he'll ask Spyro if he's saving up for another sequel. |
| 249 | * BritishStuffiness: His persona in ''Reignited Trilogy'' is something of an amalgam of Milton James' stuffiness and Neil Ross's [[TookALevelInJerkass condescending attitude]]. |
| 250 | * BrokenBridge: Which he'll fix for a fee, of course. He even claims [[LampshadeHanging bridges are his most profitable business]]. |
| 251 | * BullyingADragon: ''Literally'' in this case. He provokes Spyro far too many times, from conning Spyro out of his gems, to siding with the sorceress and imprisoning Spyro's friends to get even more gems from him with the promise of releasing them. However he finally pushes Spyro too far when he says he plans on selling a dragon egg for a fortune, which is what causes Spyro to finally kick his ass and get his gems back. |
| 252 | * CashGate: Like to the Balloonists in the first game, Moneybags blockades Spyro's progress by refusing to grant him a required skill, hiding some necessary opening or gateway, or locking a side-character inside a cage until Spyro can amass sufficient gems to pay his latest fee. ''Unlike'' the Balloonists, who were polite, friendly and at least seemed to have some moral motivation -- namely, ensuring Spyro had freed at least some of the dragons in each world -- Moneybags is blatantly selfish, malicious, and out to line his own pocket, which makes him far more hateable. |
| 253 | * CharacterCatchphrase: Usually pitches his services to Spyro as "for a small fee" or some variation thereof. |
| 254 | * TheChewToy: If he ever appears in a cutscene, chances are he's only there to [[AmusingInjuries get hurt]], and he's forced to give Spyro his treasure back at the end of both ''Ripto's Rage!'' and ''Year of the Dragon''. In the latter case, you get to beat him up yourself. |
| 255 | * ConMan: He scammed the Sorceress into buying mayonnaise, claiming it to be sunscreen. Particularly noteworthy is that he was ''[[RefugeInAudacity working for her]]'' at the time. He also sold a laser defense system to the penguins at Frozen Altars, even though they couldn't use the controls due to having flippers. |
| 256 | * CripplingTheCompetition: Makes a bet on a game of cat hockey in Frozen Altars, and mentions the team he bet against (Spyro's) having an unfortunate accident. |
| 257 | * DemotedToExtra: He only appears once in ''Enter the Dragonfly'', charging Spyro to cross a bridge which costs a piddling 200 gems. He's still mentioned in the manual despite this and has unused dialogue in the game's code; implying he was likely intended for a larger role though the game was unfinished. |
| 258 | * EnemyToAllLivingThings: He brings it on himself, though it is noteworthy that ''Year of the Dragon'' [[BewareTheNiceOnes picks exceptionally docile characters for him to piss off]], such as the usually reserved Sgt. Byrd. Moneybags' ''only'' alliance is with money - he will gladly play both sides of a war in the name of profit, scam someone he's being paid to help out or screw them over the moment somebody offers ''more'' money. |
| 259 | * FaceHeelTurn: He was never ''good'' per se, but he becomes TheQuisling in ''Year of the Dragon'' as opposed to being a neutral party in ''Ripto's Rage!''. He's not even really loyal to the Sorceress, [[MoneyDearBoy he just wants your money]]! |
| 260 | ** HeelFaceTurn: That said, he does sort of redeem himself in ''A Hero's Tail'', where he becomes something of an ally to Spyro. |
| 261 | * FatBastard: He's quite rotund and ''loves'' to gouge Spyro out of his hard-earned gems. |
| 262 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He's normally genuinely AffablyEvil, being very polite toward Spyro. However, in his worst moments, he can slide more into this. This mostly only happens in the third game where he is at his most villainous. Examples are when he jokingly offers Spyro a FalseReassurance by telling him that Sheila won't stay in jail forever... because the Sorceress is thinking about having her executed next Thursday, as well as when he makes Spyro pay him a bunch of gems to learn the password to open a door, tells him the password is "gullible", and than shamelessly admits "Okay, there was no password, I was standing in front of the wall switch. What are you gonna do? Sue me?" |
| 263 | * FormerlyFit: He was apparently a champion bantamweight boxer (one of the lightest weight classes) in his youth. Seems he put on quite a bit of weight since then. |
| 264 | * FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: After spending the [=PS1=] trilogy as a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal, ''A Hero's Tail'' gives him a new outfit complete with pants. |
| 265 | * {{Greed}}: It often comes back to bite him. |
| 266 | * HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Wore a suit shirt and jacket, but no pants in the [=PS1=] games. ''A Hero's Tail'' later upgraded him to a FullyDressedCartoonAnimal, which carried over into the ''Reignited Trilogy'' where he got a pair of pants to complete his business suit. |
| 267 | * HatedByAll: Everyone that encounters him is either ambivalent towards or hates him to the extent of violence. It is only in ''A Hero's Tail'' and ''Shadow Legacy'', where he gains a more benevolent retool, that he is on more amicable terms with the others, apparently even having a family. |
| 268 | * HateSink: |
| 269 | ** Has very little, if any, redeeming qualities or any genuine moments of kindness, and he spends all his time conning Spyro and others out of their money and eventually gets what's coming to him. |
| 270 | ** In the third game, the ending minigame with Spyro reclaiming his gems from Moneybags by beating him up until he's coughed up every last gem you've given to him over the course of the game was put in solely because he was so reviled by the playtesters of the game. Yes, even out of universe he was loathed by the people who made the game! |
| 271 | ** It's subverted later on, however: he mellows out of this in ''A Hero's Tail'', where he becomes more helpful to Spyro by selling him useful items, showing he has changed for the better. |
| 272 | * HiddenDepths: He knows magic, proven in ''Enter the Dragonfly'' where he magically rearranges platforms. |
| 273 | * HonestJohnsDealership: While his business to Spyro is honest, he is also a bit of a swindler. He will ''open'' a door for you for payment, but [[ExactWords he never said it was locked in the first place]]. |
| 274 | * InconsistentDub: He was originally renamed "Gros-Sous" (literally "Big-Cash") in the French games' translation. The ''Reignited Trilogy'' changes his French name to "Richard". |
| 275 | * ItsAllAboutMe: If it wasn't made clear enough already, Moneybags only cares about himself and his gems and everything he does is for his own selfish benefit. |
| 276 | * ItsPersonal: While he is regularly snide and conniving to Spyro and his friends and is regularly beaten by them in response, he generally stays indifferent and purely money-motivated. He shows an unsually vengeful side towards Shiela in ''Season of Flame'' however, blockading all her levels one by one, and increasing the charge after Shiela insults him in response. The exchanges also heavily imply neither want to remotely negotiate with each other, using Spyro as a middle man. |
| 277 | * {{Jerkass}}: He'll sell to anyone for the right price, even if they're a villain in need of weapons. He's rather affable about this (albeit, [[FauxAffablyEvil faux affable]]), though only when he's getting his comeuppance. This increases in the third game where he displays a stunning LackOfEmpathy and outright mocks Spyro about scamming him to open a tomb. |
| 278 | * KarmaHoudini: He doesn't have to pay Spyro his gems back in ''Enter the Dragonfly'', as he only appears once in the entire game. Though, a mere 200 gems is nothing compared to what happens in ''Attack of the Rhynocs'' where '''every''' single last gem in the game must be spent buying items or favors from Moneybags with no reimbursements. |
| 279 | * KickTheDog: In the ''Reignited Trilogy'', while guarding an imprisoned Agent 9, Moneybags apparently left his blaster lying on the ground just inches out of his reach. He also openly refers to Sheila, Bentley, and Agent 9 in condescending terms such as a pet, dimwitted furball, or action figure within earshot of them. Should you refuse to pay for Bentley's release, Moneybags even mentions that he was poking the yeti with a stick for fun earlier. |
| 280 | * LackOfEmpathy: In ''Year of the Dragon'': |
| 281 | ** He has Sheila the Kangaroo put in a cage, promising Spyro he will let her go if he gives him more gems. If you say no, Moneybags will callously make a sarcastic FalseReassurance to Spyro telling him not to worry and that she won't be locked in there forever because the Sorceress is thinking of executing her next Thursday, which highlights Moneybag's lack of regard for others, showing he doesn't care who lives or dies as long as he gets more gems. |
| 282 | ** Should you refuse to pay him in Charmed Ridge to have him make the cat wizards raise the steps so you can get to the castle to save the fairy princess, he will sarcastically say that every time he thinks about her being captured by the evil wizards, he breaks down in tears. |
| 283 | ** In Molten Crater, he is guarding a door for some egg thieves, and allows you entry for payment. If you refuse, he will sarcastically suggest, "Maybe if we both just hold hands and think happy thoughts, the thieves will decide to return the eggs themselves." |
| 284 | ** A similar thing happens in ''Enter the Dragonfly'', where he forces Spyro to pay him 200 gems to cross a chasm to rescue a dragon elder frozen in ice. If you refuse to pay him, he will point out that it's only a matter of time before the elder freezes to death, sarcastically saying "The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last." |
| 285 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Once in ''Ripto's Rage!'', and ''five times'' in ''Year of the Dragon''. The first four are for every animal he captures for the Sorceress, and the fifth is for Spyro, being more cathartic since ''you get to do it yourself''. |
| 286 | * MeaningfulName: Usually seen carrying [[StockMoneyBag a bag with a picture of a gem on it]]. He'll shake it audibly to let you know he's nearby. |
| 287 | * MilesGloriosus: The intro to Autumn Plains has him bragging about being a former bantamweight boxer, and entertains the idea of beating Ripto himself... up until he realizes Ripto and Gulp are standing right behind him, who promptly scare him so much he falls off the building they're standing on. |
| 288 | * NeverMyFault: If Spyro is unable to pay his fees, Moneybags will insist that it's Spyro's fault, accusing him of squandering his gems on useless trinkets or spending them on fauns in Fracture Hills. He insists it's not his fault because he claims he's given Spyro nothing but bargain sales. |
| 289 | * NoHeroDiscount: "All [Ripto's] meddling has cost me a fortune! If it wasn't for Spyro, I'd be bankrupt!" |
| 290 | * OhCrap: Understandably has this reaction when he realizes telling Spyro about the dragon egg he plans to exchange for money was a very bad idea. |
| 291 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Sold bombs to Ripto in ''Ripto's Rage!'' despite being on bad terms with him earlier, and later accepted work from the Sorceress in ''Year of the Dragon'', which included keeping animals in cages - and he has no problem with scamming her while he's at it as well. In both cases, he [[CashGate charges Spyro for progress]] in repeated instances. |
| 292 | * OohMeAccentsSlipping: In ''Ripto's Rage!'', he speaks with a middle-aged English accent. ''Year of the Dragon'' changes this to an American accent. ''A Hero's Tail'' gives him a Turkish accent and a Middle Eastern style of dress, complete with fez. |
| 293 | * PetTheDog: Twice: |
| 294 | ** In ''Ripto's Rage!'', after Spyro pays him 100 gems to use his submarine, Moneybags lets him continue to use it free of charge from then on. Even after he is forced to give Spyro back all the gems in the end including those, he still continues to let Spyro use it without making him reimburse him for the 100 gems Spyro gave him the first time he used the submarine. When Spyro speaks to him in Aquaria Towers, Moneybags will tell him "Hop aboard Spyro." |
| 295 | ** In ''Season of Flame'', he willingly reimburses Spyro for all the gems he made him pay as a reward for beating Ripto again. |
| 296 | ** Throughout ''A Hero's Tail'' his deals are for useful items and stock, and while he still places charge on his services, it is legitimate trade instead of selling out or blackmailing Spyro with the means to progress. |
| 297 | * TheQuisling: In ''Year Of The Dragon'', assisting the Sorceress for [[MoneyDearBoy Treasure, Dear Boy]]. |
| 298 | * RewardedAsATraitorDeserves: Shortly after selling bombs to Ripto in the Winter Tundra, Ripto sends him flying out of the castle without second thought. |
| 299 | * SameCharacterButDifferent: In ''A Hero's Tail'' and ''Shadow Legacy'', he has a completely different ethnicity and a more helpful personality and role, being considered an ally by the heroes. |
| 300 | * TheScrooge: Gems are his only priority in life. |
| 301 | * SitcomArchNemesis: Nearly everyone hates him to comically violent levels, though Spyro and Shiela are the only individuals he has reciprocated a grudge against, inflating their tolls out of spite, or straight up conning them for a gag while mocking them over it. |
| 302 | * {{Slimeball}}: He's an amoral con-artist who is not above siding with villains to get what he wants. |
| 303 | * SmugSnake: Claims he "was a champion bantamweight boxer at university", which was apparently a long time ago or else the characters are on a much smaller scale than otherwise implied. Moneybags still talks a good game but can't back it up. |
| 304 | * TheSociopath: He has heavy shades of this. He is extradorinarily selfish, lacking in empathy, has nothing resembling morals or standards and is not above taking sides with villains, doing bad things himself or selling out others to get more gems. |
| 305 | * StockMoneyBag: [[MeaningfulName Fittingly]], Moneybags almost always carries a big bag of gems with him. |
| 306 | * TookALevelInJerkass: He was by no means a good guy in ''Ripto's Rage'', but he somehow went up a notch in ''Year of the Dragon'' to the point he was outright helping the Sorceress. |
| 307 | * TookALevelInKindness: Is still greedy in ''A Hero's Tail'', but is more satisfied making trade in his shop than blackmailing you just for your right to progress. He gets on a bit better with the heroes as a result. Also in ''Season Of Flame'' where Moneybags actually willingly parts with all the gems Spyro gave him as a reward for beating Ripto again. |
| 308 | * TooDumbToLive: In ''Year of the Dragon'' he seems to not get that his backstabbery helping the Sorceress imprison heroes won't lead to grudges and repercussions the moment they are freed. Especially apparent with Shiela and Bentley, who almost look fine turning a blind eye to him at first, ''[[WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency until he insists]] [[SmugSnake they show gratitude]] [[RageBreakingPoint for him releasing them]].'' |
| 309 | * TopHeavyGuy: Moneybags has a rotund body, but tiny legs. |
| 310 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: To the characters he's meant to guard. Most notably [[GeniusBruiser Bentley]], as he calls him a DumbMuscle, yet he has [[SesquipedalianLoquaciousness quite the vocabulary]]. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown And the muscle to back it up.]] |
| 311 | * VeryPunchableMan: Takes a ''lot'' of physical abuse over the course of ''Year of the Dragon'', and often by [[RageBreakingPoint usually very laid back]] [[BewareTheNiceOnes characters at that]]. |
| 312 | * VillainyFreeVillain: In ''Ripto's Rage'', apart from conning Spyro out of his gems, Moneybags never really poses much of a threat or does anything outright malicious. |
| 313 | ** In ''Year of the Dragon'', he subverts this, however, by not only becoming the sorceress's new henchman, but also by doing villainous deeds himself, such as having Spyro's friends imprisoned in cages and promising to release them if Spyro gives him more gems, showing what a scumbag Moneybags can be. |
| 314 | * WantsAPrizeForBasicDecency: He expected Sheila and Bentley (and possibly Spyro's other allies) to thank him for letting them out, which is just another reason they decide to kick his butt instead. |
| 315 | * WealthsInAName: Downplayed. It isn't clear whether he's rich or not, but he does wear nice clothes and carry a bag full of gems. |
| 316 | * WildCard: Moneybags doesn't really care whose side he is on, whether it's the hero's side or the villain's side, all he cares about is getting more gems and will take whichever side offers the highest price. |

| 324 | ->'''Greta Voiced by:''' Mary Linda Phillips (''Ripto's Rage!''), Pamela Hayden (''Year of the Dragon''), unknown (''Reignited Trilogy'') |
| 325 | |
| 326 | A pair of twins who are also secret agents. |
| 327 | ---- |
| 328 | * AccentAdaptation: The Latin American version of the ''Reignited Trilogy'' trades Greta's [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome inability to pronounce Ls and Rs]] for a French-German accent, resulting in her pronouncing words like Dragon and Arena as "Dragun" and "Agena". |
| 329 | * ActionGirl: Greta, who has no problem keeping up with Spyro in Fireworks Factory and is notably one of the few [=NPCs=] capable of attacking enemies. |
| 330 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: They look like ordinary human children, but they have magic powers, such as [[RedEyesTakeWarning glowing red eyes]]. |
| 331 | * BadassAdorable: Both of these twins may be kindegartener-aged, but they're more than capable of beating the crap out of larger adversaries with magic or melee. Special mention goes to Greta, who easily wipes out an entire room of ninja rhynocs by herself in Fireworks Factory. |
| 332 | * BrotherSisterTeam: They're twins who go on "secwet" spy missions together, though they usually end up separated whenever Spyro encounters them. |
| 333 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Neither of them has appeared in a new game since ''Year of the Dragon''. |
| 334 | * CostumeEvolution: They go from a shirt and overall combo to karate uniforms in ''YOTD''. |
| 335 | * CreepyChild: Both of them; they exhibit TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour in wanting to bomb the Scorch fortress and have explosive WonderTwinPowers that cause their eyes to [[RedEyesTakeWarning turn red]]. |
| 336 | * CreepyGood: Despite their [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eyes]] and TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour, the twins are nothing but helpful to Spyro and provide him with helpful items like the Scorch talisman in ''Ripto's Rage!'' and several dragon eggs in ''Year of the Dragon''. |
| 337 | * DistressedDude: Handel tends to find himself in dangerous situations that require Spyro or Agent 9 to bail him out. |
| 338 | * ElmuhFuddSyndwome: Greta in both of her appearances. Handel [[GotMeDoingIt seems to acquire this from her]] in the original version of ''Year of the Dragon'', but not in the ''Reignited'' remake. |
| 339 | * GirlishPigtails: Greta has them. |
| 340 | * GirlyBruiser: Greta is an [[BadassAdorable adorable little girl]] who's nonetheless capable of defeating rhynocs much larger than she is. |
| 341 | * HypocriticalHumor: Greta mocks Handel for wearing an "ugwy" shirt at one point in ''Ripto's Rage!'', even though her shirt looks exactly the same as his in both versions of the game. |
| 342 | * InASingleBound: Greta demonstrates this ability at one point in ''Year of the Dragon'''s Fireworks Factory - by "[[Film/TheMatrix fweeing her mind]]", she manages to jump across a gap that Spyro needs a cannon to get across. |
| 343 | * KamehameHadouken: They appear to fire energy blasts at the enemies in Scorch's outro. |
| 344 | * LittleMissBadass: Greta, who can take on rhynocs much larger than she is and possesses destructive magical power when she holds hands with Handel. |
| 345 | * MadeOfIron: Handel manages to survive an explosion, unscathed, ''from a bomb he was tied onto'' in Fireworks Factory. |
| 346 | * NonActionGuy: Handel takes on this role in ''YOTD''; while Greta gets to steal the Sorceress' rocket plans and defeat several rhynocs by herself, Handel is relegated to giving Spyro and Agent 9 dragon eggs in the side areas and being put in mortal danger at one point. |
| 347 | * TheNoseless: Contrasting with most characters in the series, Handel and Greta's [=PS1=] designs lack noses. Their ''Reignited'' redesigns {{avert|ed}} this, however, by giving them visible noses. |
| 348 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Greta's Fireworks Factory debut depicts her effortlessly throwing a bomb-throwing rhynoc to the ground, killing it instantly. For comparison, Spyro himself is unable to harm them outside of using the nearby rockets, as they're too big for him to charge and wear metal armour that prevents him from flaming them. |
| 349 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When the two of them join hands in ''Ripto's Rage!'', their eyes glow red and they gain access to some sort of magical powers. |
| 350 | * ShoutOut: |
| 351 | ** They're an obvious reference to Literature/HanselAndGretel. |
| 352 | ** For her return in ''Year of the Dragon'', Greta was reworked into a parody of Neo from ''Film/TheMatrix'', with all the abilities that would imply: BulletTime and "fweeing her mind" to [[InASingleBound jump across huge gaps]]. |
| 353 | * SiblingRivalry: Greta will describe Handel in ''Ripto's Rage!'' as "stupid and wearing an ugwy shirt". Furthermore, Handel will describe Greta as "ugly with pigtails". |
| 354 | * SweetTooth: Handel ''loves'' lollipops. This proves to be his undoing in Scorch, as he ends up captured after falling for an obvious trap and almost jeopardises the twins' mission. |
| 355 | * WonderTwinPowers: When cornered during Scorch's outro, Handel and Greta join hands and begin to charge up a powerful blast of magic, their eyes turning red in the process. |
| 356 | * YouthfulFreckles: In their ''Reignited'' redesigns. |

| 362 | |
| 363 | A caveman and his skeleton friend, who often has his bones stolen by creatures called Lava Toads. They originate in Skelos Badlands in ''Ripto's Rage!'' before they vacation to Enchanted Towers in ''Year of the Dragon''. |
| 364 | ---- |
| 365 | * ButtMonkey: Mr. Bones can't seem to catch a break from the Lava Toads. They even find him in ''the Forgotten Realms''. |
| 366 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Mr. Bones hasn't appeared since ''Year of the Dragon'', though Ooga oddly reappeared without him in ''Shadow Legacy''. |
| 367 | * TheDeadCanDance: Mr. Bones, and oh, can he ever! Any time his pieces are all gathered back together, Mr. Bones happily performs a celebratory dance routine, complete with 70s-style disco music. In the ''Reginited Trilogy,'' his routine has been modernized to feature a few airhorns, a lot more bass, and The Floss. |

| 381 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PamelaHayden (''Year of the Dragon'', ''Enter the Dragonfly''), Creator/MelissaHutchison (''Reignited Trilogy''), Creator/AdelineChetail (French, ''Reignited Trilogy'') |
| 382 | |
| 383 | ->''"If I find you here again, I'm going to be ''very'' angry... and you won't like me when I'm angry!"'' |
| 384 | |
| 385 | An aspiring sorceress. She first appears 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. |
| 386 | |
| 387 | ---- |
| 388 | * AdorableEvilMinions: While working for the Sorceress. Not only is she a cute blonde bunny rabbit, but she's bumbling, meek and utterly useless at being a bad guy. |
| 389 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: She's cute compared to the brutish/goofy rhynocs and the repulsive Sorceress, foreshadowing her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 390 | * ButtMonkey: Her spells often go wrong or turn on her. She spends most of ''Year of the Dragon'' as an abused, bumbling minion to the Sorceress, and is on the receiving end of much of Spyro's ire. |
| 391 | * {{Chickification}}: Bianca in later games acts more stereotypically female, playing the role of a TokenGirl or casting DeusExMachina spells. |
| 392 | * TheComicallySerious: In the original series, between her initial attempts to be evil and menacing, and even post-HeelFaceTurn having a somewhat moody easy-to-fluster demeanor to her ineptness with magic. ''Reignited'' downplays this by making her much more of a CuteClumsyGirl. |
| 393 | * CoolBigSis: After her HeelFaceTurn, it's implied that Bianca started to view Spyro as a surrogate little brother. her dialogue in the "Super Bonus Round" has her acting more doting and cheerful toward him as well as being very eager to offer advice and assistance whenever the chance arrives. |
| 394 | * CutenessProximity: Displays this attitude at times. Ended up her own unraveling as a bad guy, as she proved to be very protective of the baby dragons she stole. |
| 395 | * DefrostingIceQueen: Warms up to Spyro after too many beratings from the Sorceress and some kindness from Hunter. |
| 396 | * DenserAndWackier: Her magic power became this in ''Attack of the Rhynocs'' to the point she's a ''literal'' magic bunny, top hat, magic tricks and all in order to fit in with the entertainment aesthetic of the Rabbit Habitat. She's back to her usual self and appearance in ''Shadow Legacy''. |
| 397 | * DisappointedByTheMotive: Turns against the Sorceress upon finding out that the latter had no intention of rectifying the Forgotten Realms' magic deficiency as she was led to believe and instead planned to kill the baby dragons and use their wings to become immortal. |
| 398 | * DrearyHalfLiddedEyes: Her original design had ''huge'' ones. They're exaggerated even further with her Japanese design in ''Season of Ice''. |
| 399 | * EarsAsHair: She has backwards ears, [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Cream the Rabbit style]]. One cutscene in ''Reignited Trilogy'' sees her nervously stroking one when The Sorceress gets angry. |
| 400 | * EasilyForgiven: |
| 401 | ** The dragons were willing to forgive her rather quickly despite her complacency in a scheme to abduct their kin, which would likely have brought about their extinction. Probably justified considering she never knew the baby dragons were in danger from the Sorceress and when she did she quickly [[HeelFaceTurn defected]]. |
| 402 | ** The other heroes are also ''much'' more willing to forgive her over their imprisonment than they were Moneybags, and even play ShipperOnDeck for Hunter (especially stands out for Agent 9, see FailedASpotCheck below). Downplayed for Spyro himself, who doesn't trust or sympathize with Bianca remotely until she fully turns sides (which she herself admits is justified). |
| 403 | * EndearinglyDorky: Her first interaction with Spyro is to ''try'' to intimidate him. This foreshadows that she's [[HeelFaceTurn not villain material]], and even after she accidentally hurts him Hunter's first thoughts about Bianca are that she's kind of cute. Enhanced in the ''Reignited'' remake, where she makes more jittery expressions and gestures. |
| 404 | * FaceOfAThug: Sort of. While she had a relatively cuter appearance compared to the other bad guys, Bianca's original design had a perpetual huge glower, almost always transfixed as a SmugSmiler expression, implying she was a lot meaner than she actually was. This stuck even after her HeelFaceTurn where she is unambiguously a NiceGirl. Subverted in ''Reignited'' where her expressions are ''much'' softer by default (though the concept art suggests she was to retain this but with WhenSheSmiles moments, see above). |
| 405 | * FailedASpotCheck: Despite {{Heel Face Turn}}ing after TheReveal of the Sorceress' plan, she fails to notice the imprisoned Agent 9 and leaves him to his fate. Even more glaring in the remake where Agent 9 is very obviously screaming and protesting from his cell. |
| 406 | * FantasticFireworks: On-top of her RainbowMotif, Bianca's magic explodes similar to fireworks in ''VideoGame/SpyroReignitedTrilogy''. |
| 407 | * FurryReminder: She reaches the Dragon Realms by burrowing a tunnel like a real rabbit. |
| 408 | * {{Foil}}: To Crush and Gulp in ''Ripto's Rage''. All three are clumsy mistreated minions of their respective game's BigBad. However while Crush and Gulp are DumbMuscle that fight for Ripto for the early part of the game while he banters with Spyro, Bianca is a fairly intelligent SquishyWizard, and interacts with Spyro in her master's place while the latter remains dormant in her lair until the final boss. Crush and Gulp remain dopey loyal minions to Ripto despite all his beratings, while Bianca only puts up with the Sorceress out of good intentions, and angrily defects the moment she realises the latter doesn't share them. |
| 409 | * GirlinessUpgrade: A minor one in ''Reignited Trilogy''. She now visibly wears pink eyeshadow, [[VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy similar to Coco Bandicoot.]] |
| 410 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: She wears a dark purple cloak for part of ''Year of the Dragon'' before she doffs it, changing to a more brightly-colored, less conservative outfit. This coincides roughly with her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 411 | * GuiltRiddenAccomplice: To the Sorceress. |
| 412 | * HartmanHips: Has been given much broader hips in her Reignited redesign, which given her species' powerful legs makes sense. |
| 413 | * HeelFaceTurn: Comes to doubt the Sorceress' plans over the course of ''Year of the Dragon'' before formally allying with Spyro from Midnight Mountain onwards. |
| 414 | * HeelRealization: She [[HeelFaceTurn defects to Spyro's side]] when she learns the Sorceress plans to ''kill'' the baby dragons. |
| 415 | * HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: She assists the Sorceress, [[BadBoss who actively mistreats her]], in order to retain her mentorship, as she wants to become a skilled magician herself. She does know the Sorceress wants the baby dragons, but only when she finds out ''exactly'' what for does she join Spyro. |
| 416 | * HowDoIShotWeb: She's still training with magic in ''Year of the Dragon'', so not all of her spells work and the dwindling magic in the Forgotten Realms isn't helping matters either. |
| 417 | * HumanoidFemaleAnimal: Most evident in ''Enter The Dragonfly''. |
| 418 | * IconicSequelCharacter: She didn't make her first appearance until the third game, but she was popular enough to return in nearly every subsequent entry. |
| 419 | * IgnorantMinion: Initially thought the Sorceress only wanted the baby dragons to replenish the Forgotten Worlds' magic. |
| 420 | * InTheHood: Her attire while she still worked under the Sorceress. It doubles as her cape in her standard attire. |
| 421 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Repeatedly threatens Spyro early on in his quest, but even then she'll slip up and reveal that she's nowhere as nasty as she's trying to make herself look. Even after thanking Hunter for saving her life in Midday Gardens, she quickly tries to restablish herself as an enemy. She's a lot nicer to Spyro when he arrives in Evening Lake, begging him and Hunter to turn back before they have a chance to fall for the Sorceress' trap and promising that she'll take good care of the remaining eggs once they hatch, and all hostility is gone when she finds out the Sorceress's true nature. |
| 422 | * TheKindnapper: She tried to assure Spyro the captured baby dragons would be in good care. When she realises the Sorceress intends to kill them for her own gain, she immediately switches sides. |
| 423 | * LightIsNotGood: Even while still a villain, she announces her presence with rainbows and beams of prismatic light. |
| 424 | * LimaSyndrome: One of the first signs that Bianca's a good guy is that she brings Hunter food while he's imprisoned. They get to talking, and after a few visits she sympathizes even with him that she lets him go. |
| 425 | * MagicWand: ''Reignited Trilogy'' gives her one. It's a small, bent stick, contrasting with The Sorceress' huge dragon egg-tipped scepter. |
| 426 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: She repeatedly tries to pull off a [[HiddenHeartOfGold villainous facade]] in front of Spyro and Hunter in an attempt to scare them off, but she only comes off as ineffectual. In fact, Hunter finds her antics "[[EndearinglyDorky cute]]". The main reason why she went with the kidnapping plot in the first place was to save the Forgotten Realms from losing all of its magic. |
| 427 | * 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. |
| 428 | * NiceGirl: Once she's free from the Sorceress' clutches, [[TookALevelInKindness she has no need to put up an antagonistic facade anymore]]. |
| 429 | * NiceJobFixingItVillain: While trying to make off with the final egg, Bianca steps on Hunter's tail, waking the Dragons up and alerting them of the Sorceress' plan before her forces can block off the tunnels back to the Forgotten Worlds. |
| 430 | * NonPlayerCharacter: Her only playable appearance is in the multiplayer minigames in ''VideoGame/SpyroOrangeTheCortexConspiracy''. |
| 431 | * NotWhatISignedOnFor: Bianca only stole the Dragon Eggs for the Sorceress to restore magic to the Forgotten Realms. When she discovers the Sorceress' real reason for wanting the eggs — to make an immortality potion from baby dragon wings — she promptly does a HeelFaceTurn and joins Spyro and his friends in trying to stop her. |
| 432 | * OfficialCouple: With Hunter. |
| 433 | * PostModernMagic: Enchants cannons, tanks, and flying saucers for Spyro to battle the Sorceress with. |
| 434 | * RabbitMagician: She was apprentice to [[BigBad the Sorceress]] before defecting out of a mix of PetTheDog moments with Hunter and discovering that the Sorceress was planning on killing the baby dragons for their wings, becoming the token magic-user among the heroes. In ''Attack of the Rhynocs'', she wears an outfit akin to that of a typical stage magician. |
| 435 | * RideTheRainbow: She can travel in the form of a rainbow. |
| 436 | * RighteousRabbit: After her HeelFaceTurn. |
| 437 | * SidingWithTheSuffering: Bianca becomes increasingly guilt-ridden as the Sorceress' plans become more cutthroat, though stays by her out of fear and because she believes her plans have good intent. When she realises the Sorceress intends to ''kill'' all the baby dragons they captured however, a horrified Bianca finally snaps and switches sides. |
| 438 | * SmugSmiler: Even when she turns good, her original design is awkwardly crafted with a perpetually sly smirk. Downplayed with her ''Reignited'' redesign, which has a much greater array of expressions. |
| 439 | * SquishyWizard: She can apply some powerful spells to aid Spyro, but isn't much of a fighter herself. She fails to battle Spyro effectively in ''Year of the Dragon'' and is dispatched in an offscreen CurbstompBattle by Red and the Sorcerer in ''Shadow Legacy''. |
| 440 | * StealthPun: Even besides the obvious puns like being a RabbitMagician and [[EasterBunny affiliated with eggs]], Bianca's species plays into the third game's motif, where she intervenes with the Year of the Dragon celebrations in the Dragon Realms by taking all the unhatched dragon eggs. [[EasternZodiac The rabbit comes before the dragon.]] |
| 441 | * SycophanticServant: To the Sorceress, at least at first. |
| 442 | * TokenWizard: Bianca - the Sorceress's amateur apprentice - defects to the heroes's side and becomes their token magician, Spyro the Dragon being the main hero, Hunter the Cheetah a CowardlyLion athlete and Zoe the Fairy being a... well... a FairyCompanion. |
| 443 | * VocalEvolution: Pamela Hayden's voicework for Bianca was artificially pitched up in ''Enter the Dragonfly'',[[https://youtu.be/EPZ1t-TmYak?t=756 giving the effect of a much more cheery and helium-pitched voice]] compared to her gruffer LittleMissSnarker performance in ''Year of the Dragon''. |
| 444 | * WellExcuseMePrincess: Shares much banter with Spyro in ''Year of the Dragon'' and ''Shadow Legacy''. |
| 445 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: She loyally trusts the Sorceress when she says the baby dragons are needed to replenish the Forgotten Realms' magic. When the Sorceress reveals she also wants to kill them for her own gain, she instantly defects. |
| 446 | * WhatMeasureIsANonCute: She, a little female rabbit among goofy rhynocs, misshapen monsters, and a nasty Sorceress, undergoes a HeelFaceTurn. Everyone else gets charged or flamed by Spyro. |
| 447 | * WomenAreWiser: Zigzagged. She's the more intelligent brain in her and Hunter's relationship, but is not without her own bumbling qualities. |

| 457 | * AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: His ''Reignited'' redesign gives him a pair of running shoes. |
| 458 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Bartholomew dearly loves his brother, but he can be very demanding and energetic. Bentley expresses concern to Spyro for what sort of trouble Bartholomew might've gotten into while he was captured. |
| 459 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: The Little Guy to Bentley's Big Guy. |

| 463 | * RedOniBlueOni: Red to his big brother's blue. |
| 464 | * SatelliteCharacter: He only ever interacts with his big brother Bentley in his debut game, though it's later averted in ''Enter the Dragonfly'' where he returns to give Spyro a task in Monkey Monastery while Bentley is completely absent. |
| 465 | * SiblingTeam: Helps Bentley drive off the rhynocs at their outpost. |

| 478 | * TheCutie: Soft spoken and cute. |
| 479 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Amy Rose]]. Interestingly, later portrayals of them in their franchises both show them getting over their fangirl natures; albeit Ember completely gets over her crush on Spyro whilst Amy retains her crush on Sonic and is just more subtle about it. |
| 480 | * {{Fangirl}}: Of Spyro. |
| 481 | * InnocentBlueEyes: She's got them, and she's TheCutie. |
| 482 | * InterspeciesRomance: Falls in love with an armadillo named Bandit in ''Shadow Legacy''. |
| 483 | * NightmareFetishist: {{Downplayed}} in that she's still very conventionally feminine, but she's shown to be enthralled with the idea of using a Dark Gem (which she admits is "pulsating with evilness") as an engagement ring. |
| 484 | * PinkGirlBlueBoy: Well, ''purple'' boy in this case. |
| 485 | * PinkMeansFeminine: A pink dragon who acts as TheCutie, wears a heart-shaped necklace and has a crush on Spyro. |
| 486 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Before she and Flame were introduced, Spyro was the only dragon who was his own age outside of promotional material. Spyro's reactions to her hint that they at least knew each other prior. |
| 487 | * SingleTargetSexuality: Spyro being her target in ''A Hero's Tail''. She moves on in ''Shadow Legacy''. |

| 511 | |
| 512 | A group of old dragons that appear in ''A Hero's Tail'' and ''Shadow Legacy'', consisting of Tomas, Magnus, Titan, and Astor, as well as Sensei and Cho-Lei in ''Shadow Legacy''. They govern the Dragon Realms and teach Spyro new techniques throughout his quests. |
| 513 | |
| 514 | For tropes about Red, click [[Characters/SpyroTheDragonVillains here]]. |
| 515 | ---- |
| 516 | * AmbiguouslyGay: Magnus, the campy pink elder that teaches Spyro how to... ahem... "pole spin". |
| 517 | * BigGood: All of them serve as this in ''A Hero's Tail''. Tomas specifically is this in ''Shadow Legacy'', as he gives Spyro advice by communicating telepathically. |
| 518 | * TheBore: {{Defied}}. Tomas considers telling Spyro about how Red turned evil, but realizes that he takes a really long time to tell stories and just tells him how to stop his evil plan (much to Spyro's relief). |
| 519 | * DistressedDude: Astor in ''A Hero's Tail''. They all find themselves trapped in some form during ''Shadow Legacy''. |
| 520 | * DoNotCallMePaul: Sensei hates being called Ragnar. |
| 521 | * GrumpyOldMan: Astor spends most of his screentime complaining about something or someone. For some reason, Titan also becomes this in ''Shadow Legacy'', even though he was previously shown to be one of the most mild-mannered elders. |
| 522 | * ICantHearYou: Being the oldest of the elders, Titan is hard of hearing. |
| 523 | * MentorArchetype: All of them teach Spyro the techniques necessary to explore the Dragon Realms. |
| 524 | * PinkMeansFeminine: Magnus is colored pink, and is definitely the most {{in touch with his feminine side}} of the male Elders. |
| 525 | * ScatterbrainedSenior: Most of them, especially Titan and Magnus. |
| 526 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Cho-Lei is the only female elder that Spyro meets. |
| 527 | * StoutStrength: Sensei is rather husky, but he's also the one to teach dragon-kata to Spyro. |
