Early years[]
Spyro was born in the Dragon Kingdom in the Dragon Realm called the Artisons. Spyro's father "unknown" was a great hero, and his mother "unknown" was one of the elders of the land. Spyro admired his parents a lot and wanted to become a great hero like his father, with the help of his friend Sparx. Everyone had heard about the legend of the purple dragon; that the purple dragon would bring happiness to the five dragon homelands or bring destruction to them.
Original adventures[]
First adventure[]
Spyro was a mere civilian of the Dragon Realm. One day, however, a villainous nork named Gnasty Gnorc stole the priceless gems from the wonderful and peaceful land. Spyro was the only one who could save the gems from being destroyed by Gnasty Gnorc. He went on a rather long journey to find Gnasty Gnorc. When he eventually came face to face with him, Spyro defeated Gnasty Gnorc and returned to the Dragon Realm victorious. They used the failed Gnasty Gnorc in an amusement park for the fun of the fellow dragons. The adventure is grouped in the game Spyro the Dragon.
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage![]
In Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! Spyro appears for a second time while heading on a vacation to Dragon Shores. The portal is tampered with by the Professor who is able to deliver Spyro to Glimmer where he begins his second adventure to defeat the evil rhynoc, Rypto. As Spyro battles through evil creatures and minions working for Ripto, he discovers Ripto's true hatred of Dragons, while battling his two minions, Crush and Gulp. After adventuring through four worlds of the Dragon Realm, he meets with Ripto in the Winter Tundra and defeats him, not knowing of his return in games' adventures to come.
