darkSpyro

who/where are they

they are very irresponsible, letting their kid run around blowing up Frankenstein, orange midgets and blue dinosaurs and all their minions. tut tut.

Since the original game never really mentions anything about it, I follow the instruction manual that the Japanese gamers got.

That Spyro (and Sparx) were orphans, originally kidnapped by Egg Thieves and saved by the other dragons.

I always inferred that dragon society doesn't revolve around parents. Eggs are delivered by fairies every thirteen years (as mentioned in the YotD manual) and all the adult dragons help in rearing the hatchlings.

I figured that dragons were just one of those "rough and tumble" races. Sure, the elders might help raise the hatchlings, but by the time they're older kids they're exploring off on their own.

Classic wise: probably the elder dragons take care of the hatchlings sine Razz pointed some things out.

Legend of Spyro wise: Probably exterminated unless his dad is actually Ignitous.

Classic: Unknown but they probably disappeared or died long ago.

LoS: Sparx's parents.

In LoS, it's pretty heavily implied (at least by the designs) that Ignitus is Spyro's dad. They have the same horn shapes, spike patterns, body build, and Spyro's first mastered element is fire.

It's heavily implied but I don't think we can say for sure who his parents really are.

And since Ignitus isn't the one that raised him, I'm more inclined to call Mr. and Mrs. Sparx his parents.

omg my mom and i arent the only ones who think this????

*ahem*

It does make sense to me. But who knows...

I'm agreed on that. :) Ignitus being Spyro's father doesn't have any bearings on the plot at all, but Nina and Flash have had a definite impact on who the purple one is as a person.

And I'm still a fan of the idea that the LoS dragons don't reproduce biologically at all (especially since, if they do, they will be extinct in less than a decade, what with just Cynder as the only female).

Thanks for the answers. They make sense now!

Well....

Classics: Not mentioned, Spyro and Sparx were raised by the older Dragons after they were saved from the Egg Thieves, you can see it on the Japanese manual (I have it by the way)

But I don't have a simple clue about LoS, it was raised by Sparx parents but I believe Spyro had a father when he was just an egg... Reading other post makes want to play the game again and see if Spyro has some similarity with an Elder Dragon, maybe Ignitus....

For classic I would say Elder Thomas based on his role in Shadow Legacy.

Legend obviously Ignitus and Sparx's parents.

And for me in Skylanders personally, Eon and the Giant Skylanders.

I've ended up seeing a plot overview say that the TLoS Spyro was born from a dragon brood. At this point, I don't think that TLoS Spyro's TRUE parents can be fully imagined.

I still think that this guy could have been classic Spyro's father...

but I also think that classic Spyro could have had a mother: a sapphire blue dragon, whose face shines brighter than the sky on a gleaming clear summer afternoon.

I'm thinking in the classic universe he had quite a few. (Mainly the green dragon at the beginning of Spyro the Dragon) Quite a few of the dragons are purple or a purple-blue shade. (People got it all wrong in Spyro: Shadow Legacy and the Legend of Spyro series....) So it could be anyone of the 100 or so dragons in Spyro 1. In Skylanders I think it was Master Eon.... And tLoS probably that Ignitus dude.

Well, no one actually really knew. I don't think the game creators even thought of that. Or maybe its just they had died?

I'm thinking that classic Spyro's father could actually be the Sorcerer from Spyro: Shadow Legacy, but that the Sorcerer ended up killing his own wife.

But Shadow Legacy is not published or developed by Isnomic (or the original Developers of the first 3 games)

How can it be? The dragon has a black whatchamicallit on his head, not a yellow one.

It's meant to have grayed through the years, like hair.

1) He's growing old, that's why it's grey.
2) This photo appeared in the back of the Spyro The Dragon case manual. It's symbolic, the end of the manual, the end of the journey.

Well, yeah, that makes a little more sense, but still...something I would like to see with classic Spyro is his parents. An origin story would be good for a revival game, don't you think?

They already did that and it's called "Legend Of Spyro." >.> So no, I don't think so.

TLoS Spyro is not classic Spyro. TLoS Spyro is not sarcastic or cocky, like classic Spyro is.

So that makes TLoS bad? Really, what's your reasoning behind that? I'm just saying that it would be repetitive if they gave Spyro parental figures again.

No, it doesn't make TLoS Spyro bad. I'm just saying that TLoS Spyro already had an origin story, so it's pointless to try imagining who TLoS Spyro's parents could have been.

But you said "Spyro's parental figures" as in any Spyro. It's also pointless to make that witty excuse you made there.

Are you saying that TLoS didn't have an original stroy? Have you even played any of the TLoS games?

Sorry, I rushed when I said that. I meant to say that the TLoS Spyro got the origin story, not original.

Might be a weird headcanon, and since you've only freed him in the beginning of the game, I always thought of Nestor as Spyro's father figure, or at least a parental figure to look up to.
