Spyro the Dragon

Spyro the Dragon is the main protagonist and titular character of the Spyro the Dragon series.

Background
As told in an interview with Sparx by the DNN (Dragon News Network), some details of Spyro's past are known. Sparx used to crawl around Spyro's egg when he was a larvae. There was peace in the dragon realms at ths time.

However, unknown to the dragons, three thieves were running off with two eggs. One was a dragon egg while the other was a dragonfly egg. Suddenly, the dragons discovered the thieves who ran off and they dropped the eggs. The red dragon egg became hot, as if something on fire from the inside. Spyro hatched from the red egg and Sparx hatched from the yellow egg.
