List of Spyro characters

This is a list of characters from the Spyro the Dragon video game series. Spyro is a series of platform video games and action video games published by Activision. The series has been rebooted several times with the original series being published from 1998 to 2005, the Legend series published between 2006 and 2008, and the Skylanders series published from 2011 to 2016.

The Guardians are a group of dragons who watch over the dragon eggs and training the young dragons in the ancient ways. Most of the Guardians were killed in battle against Malefor's forces and only four remain.

Ignitus (voiced by Gary Oldman) is a red dragon who was the Fire Guardian, the leader of the four remaining Guardians. He serves as a father-figure to Spyro, often calm and collected but has been known to break out into fits of fury, using his fire ability to great effect.

Ignitus, along with the other remaining Guardians, were assigned to protect the eggs during the Year of the Dragon. When Gaul led an attack on the Dragon Temple, Ignitus took Spyro's egg and hid it in the nearby swamp where it would later be found by a family of dragonflies. He and the other Guardians later fought against Malefor's forces until the other Guardians were captured by Cynder in which case Ignitus escaped the battlefield and hid in the same swamp where he had hidden Spyro's egg years earlier.
