I dunno, I see a lot of purple dragons, or any kind of reptile that's purple.

Spyro (Obvious)

Malefor (Obvious as well)

Penelope (Some stupid purple dragon from a Barbi movie I watched when I was little and retarded)

Some Disney dragon... I can't remember his name, but he was purple.

There are collectible stuffed animals called Webkinz, and one of them is a purple dragon...


Cyril has a touch purple on him...


Cynder was too purple on DOTD. smilie

And in the third and first Spyro games, I notice a lot of dragons that where purple.


~~~Non-dragons, but still related~~~

Barny (FAIL!!)

Espio (Win. smilie)

I think there's a purple Yoshi... Yes, there is. smilie

That's all I've got on me...

My evidence:

In Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Black Dragons have the following stats:
Health: 300 Attack: 25
Defence: 25 Dmg: 40-50
Spd: 15 (super quick)

And Azure Dragons' stats:
Health: 1000 Attack: 50
Defence: 50 Dmg: 70-80
Spd: 19 (ultra fast)

AZURE DRAGONS WIN.

Well in the first 3 games Spyro was made purple because that colour stands out and he does not blend in with the grass and stuff.

and in TLoS since Spyro was already purple they just thought of this story with a prophecy that purple dragons are rare and can wield all 4 elements and stuff(kinda like Avatar:the last airbender hmm?),made the game,and slapped Spyro's name onto it.

Obviously they couldn't change his color that he was known for so they came up with a lame plot device.
In fact, now that I think about it, it's kind of stupid. Spyro was purple in the originals, and there was nothing special about him. So now Activison is telling us that you need to be a part of a rare, powerful seris to be a hero of any kind. Thanks for the AWESOME moral Activison...
TLOS haters, another point to why this seris sucks.

But some of the the rescued dragons from the first Spyro game knew that he was different, and kept saying that he will fulfill his destiny or that the dragons thought he wasn't ready to save the Dragon Realms from Gnasty Gnorc.

But it wasn't because he was purple - There were other purple dragons in the game too.

Exactly,it had nothing to do with him being purple,he was purple just because that colour didn't blend in with the surroundings(as I mentioned in the other post) in the game,unlike green(his original colour) .

The makers proboly thought the game would be more epic if they made Spyro be this special dragon and have cool powers that no other dragons have.

Purple dragons are only special becuase that's Spyro's orginal color,if he had been green in the original games then green dragons would be special in the Legend series.

For information about all the colors of dragons, here is the link:

The color purple has been a symbol of royalty for a long time, possibly because the pigment is so hard to find in nature. There are very few stories about purple dragons, since it is not a 'natural' color.

In modern artwork, many dragons are purple, but a lot of them are blue with purple undercolors. It is likely, therefore, that they would retain much of the color significance of blue dragons.

"Although rainbow dragons are said to be quite rare, there are many stories involving dragons of multiple colors. The most famous and wide-spread of all these dragons is Rainbow Serpent, found in various mythologies.

The Rainbow Serpent is generally connected with water, since the rainbow is seen after a rainstorm. The rainbow is a symbol of rebirth, life, and death because water is both a life-giving and a life-taking source.

While few dragons are rainbow-colored, multiple dragons are connected with causing the rainbow, usually by reflecting light off of their scales."
-Rainbow Dragon
