Fairies are creatures who are frequently seen throughout the original Spyro the Dragon series. They often help out Spyro by saving his progress (most famously Zoe) and performing other various actions.
In Spyro the Dragon, certain Fairies grant Spyro a special superflame when they kiss him.

Abilities
Fairies can grant magical abilities and their wand zaps serve as checkpoints. However they are vulnerable to dark magic, which acts as radioactivity to Fairies.
Original series
Spyro the Dragon

The Save Fairy.
Fairies made their first appearance, helping Spyro by:
- Saving his progress - The Save Fairy
- Saving him from steep falls (Only in High Caves) - Rescue Fairies.
- Giving him Superflame powerups by kissing him (As seen in Haunted Towers and High Caves) - Flame Fairies[1]
- Activating Whirlwinds (Only in Lofty Castle) - Whirlwind Fairies
- Pointing Spyro in the right direction (Night Flight, Crystal Flight and Misty Bog) - Pointer Fairies.
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
Zoe was introduced. Other fairies were seen when they helped her scatter the Orbs around Avalar from Ripto.
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
In this game, the fairies help Spyro search for the eggs and:
- Zoe will save his progress.
- The Charmed Ridge fairy community will help you along the way to save Princess Ami from the Cat Wizards.
- Princess Ami will give Spyro an egg if he keeps her secret. (Only in the Reignited version, in the original only Liz helps you along the way).
- Isabelle will award Sgt. Byrd an egg for helping her.
- A special ice fairy will temporarily grant Spyro the ability to breathe ice in Frozen Altars.
Spyro: Season of Ice
In this game, the main focus is all on the Fairies and the Fairy Realms. Here, Grendor has frozen all the fairies, and Spyro must unfreeze them.
Each fairy's in-game sprite colours are based off the four seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer).
Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs
The fairies, including Zoe, appear in the Fairy Library level.
Spyro: A Hero's Tail
Other fairies make their appearance in A Hero's Tail, including Zoe. After Spyro defeats a boss, they will free a fairy who will grant him an elemental power: Electricity, Water, and Ice.
Trina serves as the tutorial fairy in the game.
Spyro: Shadow Legacy
Fairies, including Zoe, live in the Tree Tops somewhere in Avalar.
Skylanders series
Fairies make an appearance in Skylanders series. They had been friends with the Skylanders, possibly because fairies can turn treasure into upgrade magic that gives the Skylanders new abilities, powers, and also fresh breath.
One notable fairy, Persephone, upgrades your Skylanders' abilities for gold.

Trivia
- A Save Fairy might be one of Zoe's friends who removed the Orbs from the Super Portal in Winter Tundra in the Reignited Trilogy.
- In the original Ripto's Rage!, Zoe mistakenly appears twice in said sequence. One of the Zoes were likely meant to be this fairy.
- There don't appear to be any male fairies, since all the fairies shown so far have been female.
