Dragonflies are recurring creatures in the Spyro series. A number of dragonflies appear throughout the Spyro the Dragon series, including Spyro's sidekick, Sparx. In the Classic series, they all talk in voices that resemble kazoos.
Sparx
Throughout the original series, Spyro is accompanied by a small yellow dragonfly named Sparx, who acts as Spyro's living health meter. Most dragonfly attributes that are known originated from Sparx.
Spyro the Dragon series
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
The role of Dragonflies as a species is expanded upon only in Enter the Dragonfly, and they are said to be a crucial part of the Dragon society. Whenever a Dragon is born, they will receive a Dragonfly to protect them. These Dragonflies are trained by the Dragon Masters at the Dragonfly Dojo to become companions to the Dragons.
There are 90 dragonflies who appear throughout Enter the Dragonfly, all of which are scattered around the Dragon Realms by Ripto in an effort to weaken the Dragons. They are shown to be very shy creatures who will fly away when Spyro approaches them, only giving up the chase when they are captured with Bubble Breath.
Trivia
- In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, every dragonfly earned through a task or challenge is blue.
- In the earlier games before Enter the Dragonfly, none of the dragons besides Spyro has a dragonfly.
- Despite Enter the Dragonfly having established the lore that Dragons are given their dragonfly companions at a young age, this bit of lore isn't reflected in later titles, as dragons such as Flame, Ember and others in Spyro: A Hero's Tail and Shadow Legacy don't have dragonfly companions.
- There was originally over 100 dragonflies to collect in Enter the Dragonfly.[1]
- The dragonflies are textured and modeled after the cricket fodder from Bamboo Terrace.
- At an earlier point in development, the dragonflies even had feet just like the aforementioned fodder.[2]
