Although eager and young at heart, Spyro is a strong-willed dragon who is fearless and brave; a true hero dedicated to defending his world from all things evil. He holds a photographic memory, and as a result, has encyclopedic knowledge of all the islands and creatures in Skylands he encountered, more so than any other Skylander. He is always up for adventure, his favorite kind being treasure hunts, even if it has danger lurking. In addition, Spyro is always the first to leap into action.

, implying that he was used to doing heroics solo prior to being a Skylander, thus resulted in him struggling to work in a team at first (with his Skylander companions always reminding Spyro that he doesn't have to do everything alone). This trait has seemingly diminished, as during the course as being a Skylander, Spyro has become more humble, at one point sharing his victory over Kaos with the other Skylanders who helped him. Overtime, Spyro developed into one of Master Eon's greatest leaders in the fight against the forces of darkness.

Spyro is the great, stout-hearted hero of legend, not to mention the number one defender of Skylands. Hailing from a rare race of magic purple dragons, Spyro was born in a land far away from Skylands' furthest frontiers. From a young age, Spyro became a battler for good; a warrior against evil and protector of the peace. His fearless exploits and heroic adventures were even recorded in the Scrolls of the Ancients (and those Ancients didn't keep a record of just any old thing). One of the many Portal Masters who watched Spyro's success with acclaim and applause was the bearded legend himself, Master Eon. It was Eon who transported Spyro through the [[Portal of Power]] to his citadel at the [[Core of Light]]. Here, Spyro met the Skylanders squad and swiftly agreed to join them in battling all things nasty.

During his time as one of the Skylanders, Spyro defeated the evil dragon [[Cynder (Skylanders)|Cynder]] when she was spreading fear throughout the land for many years, freeing her from the sinister control of the Undead Dragon King, [[Malefor (Skylanders)|Malefor]]. Afterwards, he convinced Master Eon to sign Cynder up as one of the Skylanders after she vowed to fight for good.
Spyro was also the one who inspired [[Lightning Rod]] to become a Skylander after telling the storm giant his stories of faraway places and dangerous adventures.

After Cynder vowed to fight for good, she and Spyro went on a dangerous quest in which the Undead dragoness came out smiling. Afterwards, Spyro convinced Master Eon to sign Cynder up as one of the Skylanders.
Spyro was also the one who inspired [[Lightning Rod]] to become a Skylander after telling the storm giant his stories of faraway places and dangerous adventures.
There was an incident with Spyro when [[The Darkness]] attempted to corrupt the Core of Light. Spyro nearly suffered a terrible fate when he was almost consumed by the dark magic, but he was saved by Master Eon. The old Portal Master then taught Spyro how to control and focus his dark magic. When the young dragon fully harnessed it, he became his sinister alter-ego: Dark Spyro. Combined with his brave heart and careful control, Spyro was able to use this dark power to fight the forces of evil without losing himself to the darkness.

Spyro, Gill Grunt, [[Eruptor]] and [[Boomer]] were on [[Ruins|Eon's Island]] with the other Skylanders listening to Gill Grunt's special concert, much to their discomfort. Shortly afterwards, [[Flynn]] and Hugo crash-landed in their hot air balloon nearby, with Spyro having to save Boomer from where the balloon was going to crash due to the [[Trolls (Skylanders)|troll]] having put dynamite in his ears to mute out Gill Grunt's singing. Hugo informed the Skylanders and Master Eon urgent news of flying sheep attacking the [[Mabu Market]], though the Skylanders didn't believe it at first until they saw an image from Eon's portal of the market being attacked. Master Eon tasked Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Eruptor to go to the Mabu Market to find out what was going on.

After reaching the Market, Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Eruptor found out that the sheep weren't really flying, but were being carried by invisible trolls who were led by a [[Spell Punks|Spell Punk]]. While the other Skylanders fought the trolls, Spyro went after the Spell Punk nearby and pinned him down, forcing the wizard to reveal that he and the trolls were testing out an invisibility spell, but the trolls wanted to cause mayhem, therefore drawing attention to themselves. The Spell Punk then accidentally blurted out they were looking for an item called the [[Chattering Key]] for Kaos. Appearing as a frightening projection of his head, Kaos scolded the Spell Punk, and transported the wizard and the remaining trolls back to his lair. Spyro confronted the floating head of Kaos and demanded to know why he was after the Chattering Key. The evil Portal Master refused to answer the young dragon and disappeared.

[[File:Spyro_and_Stealth_Elf.jpg|thumb|298px|Spyro and Stealth Elf investigating Stinky Swamp]]Spyro was training with [[Drill Sergeant]], [[Jet-Vac]], and [[Trigger Happy]] in mastering his Daybringer Flame attack, but ended up failing the training session when his attempt missed a Goliath Drow illusion and singed only Drill Sergeant and Trigger Happy. Disheartened at the fact that he failed his training again, Spyro was soon tasked by Master Eon to go with [[Stealth Elf]] to Stinky Swamp to find a terrible monster the elf had encountered. After saving a Mabu named [[Snuckles]] from a couple of [[Chompies]], Spyro and Stealth Elf were attacked by a giant titchy toad. The toad's toxic saliva caused Spyro and Stealth Elf to fall asleep during the struggle, unable to save Snuckles from the giant titchy toad as it was about to devour him. The Mabu was then saved by the arrival of Kaos, who used a magic staff to defeat the toad. The evil Portal Master then claimed that he was turning over a new leaf by taking down evil doers, much to Spyro and Stealth Elf's complete disbelief.

When the residents of Skylands started praising Kaos for saving them from various mega-sized creatures, Spyro suspected that Kaos was up to something, refusing to believe that the evil Portal Master would suddenly turn over a new leaf out of the blue. He, Jet-Vac, and Drill Sergeant were soon sent to The Desert of Columns to help the Molekin, [[Diggs]], escape from a [[Glumshanks|strangely familiar troll monster]], but Kaos saved the day once again, greatly irritating Spyro. Back at Eon's Citadel, the Skylanders, Master Eon, and Hugo were confronted by the [[Warrior Librarians of Eternal Archives]] lead by Chief Curator [[Wiggleworth]], who had learned of Spyro's legendary and heroic exploits from the books of the Ancients. The Warrior Librarians had come to warn Master Eon that their Eternal Archive, a library that holds not only the dangerous books ever written, was in terrible danger.

Upon arriving at the Archive, the Skylanders confronted a mega-sized Chompy Pod that was impervious to all of their attacks due to its current size. The plant soon spored five giant Chompies, in which Spyro ultimately mastered his Daybringer Flame attack in taking down one of the large monsters. As the Skylanders were outmatched by the remaining giants, Kaos appeared, saving the Skylanders from the giant enemies by suspended the Chompies in midair using his magic staff.

[[File:Giant_Spyro_and_Stealth_Elf.jpg|thumb|left|232px|Stealth Elf using the staff's power to enlarge Spyro]]Kaos then revealed that as a child he wanted to borrow a book called World Domination for Beginners and other related books from the Eternal Archive, but was told by Wiggleworth that they weren't available for loan in order to keep them safe. The evil Portal Master threatened to release the giant Chompies upon the heroes if Wiggleworth didn't hand over a forbidden book to him. When Wiggleworth refused, Kaos released the Chompies to devour the group. Stealth Elf stole the magic staff from Kaos, and used its power to enlarge Spyro two times the size of the giant Chompies, allowing the dragon to defeat the giant enemies while his fellow Skylanders dealt with Kaos and destroyed his magic staff. After the battle, Spyro realized that Kaos's true plan was to test his staff on a few creatures (growing them into a giant size), trick the people of Skylands into thinking he was saving them from the mega-sized animals just so he could attack the Archive and blackmail its curator, who Kaos thought would be blinded by hero worship like others have.

Realizing he was defeated, Kaos fled the scene, but not before revealing that his plan was only the beginning. Afterwards, some of the Skylanders, including the ones present, were brought to the Eternal Archive to help the Warrior Librarions repair the damage done. Master Eon congratulated Spyro on his victory in stopping Kaos, and was more surprised that the purple dragon shared the glory with his fellow Skylanders who assisted him. Spyro then went with Master Eon after hearing that Wiggleworth wanted to show the young dragon something within the Archive's vault. The Portal Master showed Spyro the book Kaos was after, the legendary Book of Power, a book of prophecy that shows the most dreadful predictions, such as the fall of the Skylanders, and Spyro himself...
