darkSpyro

They both share the same pose(image of the pack), and i notice that other variants and legendary share the same pose of the original version .



So can we say he is legendary dark spyro ?

theory images







when more people enter in the discuss i will add pros and cons of the theory

No, they aren't the same character. It's like saying Pop Fizz is Punch Pop Fizz, and Hot Dog is Molten Hot Dog all because they share the same promo art when they're not the same characters.

I mean the right name would be legendary dark spyro and not legendary spyro


Look a chop chop and is legendary got the same promo art

whirlwind and polar whirlwind aswell

But spyro s1 have different promo from is dark and legendary versions

No, there is no Legendary Dark Spyro all because their poses are the same.

Maybe is name was too big for the game and they cut it, or they just did that to legendary spyro look cooler

Speculations~

No, Legendary Spyro and Dark Spyro are separate characters. Like how Legendary Bash isn't Bash, Legendary Chop Chop isn't Chop Chop, and so on.

There seems to be a big misunderstanding going on here. I don't think he's saying they're the same character exactly. Just that Legendary Spyro is a variant of Dark Spyro not one of regular Spyro. Which kinda makes sense given the evidence provided. Though there is no way to definatively prove this.

This is what i wanted to say

Ye in all the games even the iOS games dark spyro and legendary share the same art and normal has his own art. Maybe your right legendary spyro is the variant of dark spyro....

It's artwork.... Has nothing to do with who's a variant of who.

If you go by the 3DS version, both Spyro and L-Spyro have the same upgrades, Dark Spyro does not.

Except Dark Spyro is a completely different character with a completely different backstory, while Spyro and Legendary Spyro share the same backstory or L-Spyro uses the Legendary Skylanders backstory.

Sorry but if L-Spyro was the legendary version of Dark Spyro then he would have lightning attacks and the tail whip attack in the 3DS versions of the games. He breaths fire and has a charge attack like regular Spyro though.

They may had put L-spyro like regular spyro so 3ds users coud play with different gameplay (dont need to buy the console version spyro)

The flame is like spyro maybe because is gold and the balls look more likely to him.

They never give the variants and legendary backstory (besides dark spyro) so idk if they share the same story.

L-Spyro has +20crit compared to spyro, i pretty typical legendary upgrade.
Dark Spyro has COMPLETELY DIFFERENT in game stats, so obviously is a seperate character.

Just because Activision were lazy with art redesigns doesn't mean 2 very different (stat wise at least) figures are variants of each other

Ye I know I was going along with the theory, also how nice would it be if all variants had different art work and maybe a different pose on the figure. Would make them unique

Where is the legendary spyro backstory ? never saw it

And since dark spyro is separate from regular spyro can also prove this theory

regular s1 and dark spyro have the same stats at skylanders giants
And in console version all the 3 say all fire up

This "debate" is ridiculous.

^ I agree. Mods, close this topic.

() cons on both
pros:

Share same promo art (coud be coincidence)

iOS games dark spyro and legendary share the same art

all legendary characters share the same promo art of the original version

cons:

dark spyro share different model from legendary on 3ds and universe ( maybe was to 3ds users coud play with different gameplay without buying the console version for regular spyro)

he shot purple fire( but compare to legendary chill narwall they coud change is color aswell)

Legendary Spyro share the same backstory with spyro (need link to confirm)


Well atleast was cool if he was the first varient that is legendary

Legendary Spyro shares either Spyro's backstory here:

Spyro hails from a rare line of magical purple dragons that come from a faraway land few have ever traveled. It's been said that the Scrolls of the Ancients mention Spyro prominently -- the old Portal Masters having chronicled his many exciting adventures and heroic deeds. Finally, it was Master Eon himself who reached out and invited him to join the Skylanders. Now calling Skylands his home, Spyro remains one of its most valued protectors, with evil facing a new enemy -- and the Skylanders gaining a valued ally.

Or the Legendary Skylanders' backstory:

For centuries, Skylanders have competed in gladiator-style events inside epic arenas of sport, where only the greatest of combatants become immortalized as magical, golden statues that stand watch as guardians. These are the Legendary Skylanders. Whenever the world is in peril, special Portal Masters can bring these statues to life and summon the Legendary Skylanders to defend Skylands against any evil that threatens it.

Dark Spyro's backstory is this:

Spyro is a rare magical dragon with the ability to harness the power of the elements of Skylands, though he prefers to master fire. However, this innate ability with elemental powers also leaves him vulnerable to the influence of darker magic. When The Darkness is nearby, Spyro can channel its energy and combine its power with his own, becoming Dark Spyro. Over the years, he has learned to focus and control his power, using this dark magic to fight the forces of evil.

L-Spyro and D-Spyro are not the same character.

Well somehow the art promo only show up when we got the single pack the 3ds didint come with that art

i think it was to make the normal s1 spyro more special

Well the legendary skylanders backstory is the same on the wiki but is there any official source of legendary spyro story been the same ?

I am not saying dark spyro and legendary spyro are the same just saying is more likely that the real name is legendary dark spyro do the promo art, as we saw in other legendary they share the same art of the original version.

But he was also the first recolor version of any skylander coud also be coincidence.

I thought that myself It coud be to separate the original spyro from the skylanders versions of him.

The Legendary Skylanders backstories were officially cofirmed through other official sources, like on the TRU website and in the games such as Lost Islands.

Dark Spyro also has a different background story

Well spain got is own skylanders story versions

But backstory dont do nothing is story mode or pvp so why bothering about them

You really can't base anything off the art. Sure it's the same pose. It doesn't mean anything. And if it were legendary dark spyro, they would have said it. Also don't trust wiki or wikia, the information can be changed by anyone. And the stories above pretty much prove your theory false.

The name legendary dark spyro is far to big and on SSA legendary spyro is shorted to L-spyro

Legendary spyro come with the backstory of all legendary skylanders no regular or dark.

As you can see from the picture both my Spyro Legendary and Dark there head aren't looking the same place, my Legendary Spyro looking straight while the Dark Spyro looking to the left. I guess the workers who made them are rushing it because maybe the manager told them there were to slow LOL

Well in the ios game the "spyro's # 1 fan" only works for spyro and legendary spyro, he does not work with dark spyro at all.

Okay, from all this discussion, it seems like Legendary Spyro is a cross between Spyro and Dark Spyro. There's no denying that he shares several elements with Dark, but he also shares some elements with regular Spyro.

I definitely find it intriguing that he shares some elements, especially the art, with Dark Spyro, who feels cooler than Spyro.

Smaller font. If acti had decided to do legendary dark spyro, would they have said it. Different art doesn't mean it's the same. They could have changed the art because dark spyro and legendary spyro might not have looked right in the same picture as spyro. It just doesn't mean anything. All you are basing this on is the art. The stats are higher, but that's how it's suppose to be. Spyro is dark spyro and legendary spyro, there is no difference. Legendary spyro is the legendary form of spyro and dark spyro is the dark form of spyro

We all agree that the Legendary Spyro is an Immortalized Spyro. Who's to say that Dark Spyro couldn't be both? Some may say that the Legendary Spyro can definitely turn in to Dark Spyro since it takes greatness to become immortalized as magical, which can help in controlling the dark magic. After all, If this is true why couldn't Spyro and Legendary Spyro challange his energy and become Dark Spyro.

If is doing it for centuries why he is still a baby dragon ?

Just a slight production mishap.

How about this:

They are all representations of "Spyro"

• Spyro in his normal state
  
• Spyro under the influence of "Dark Magic"
  
• and a living statue of spyro.
  

Is the statue a representation of spyro when he is under the influence of dark magic? Eh, sure why not...

So this is what we have come to with this current break in Skylander action.

Homer, you added more Skylanders of your theory than just Spyro?

Why do you ask for it aura ?
