- “Fairies are always on your side, Spyro.”
- —Mudada
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.
Fairies are notably residents across the Dragon Realms, serving as allies to the Dragons. They also reside in their homeworld, the Fairy Realms.
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.
In Spyro the Dragon, certain Fairies grant Spyro a special superflame when they kiss him.

In the second game installment, a new fairy ally named Zoe was introduced. Other fairies reside in the realm of Avalar when they helped Zoe scatter the Orbs around Avalar to keep them from getting into Ripto's hands.
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
According to the lore on the Year of the Dragon Festival, Fairies deliver new dragon eggs to the Dragon Realms every twelve years for the Year of the Dragon. In this game, the fairies help Spyro search for the eggs after they were abducted.
- Zoe retained her role in saving Spyro's progress.
- The Charmed Ridge fairy community will help Spyro along the way to save Princess Ami from the Cat Wizards. (Only in the Reignited version, in the original only Liz helps you along the way).
- Princess Ami will give Spyro a dragon egg if he keeps her secret.
- Isabelle will award Sgt. Byrd an egg for helping her.
- A special ice fairy named Gabrielle will temporarily grant Spyro the ability to breathe ice in the Frozen Altars world.
Spyro: Season of Ice
In this game, the main focus is all on the Fairies and their homeworld, the Fairy Realms. Here, Grendor has frozen all the fairies, and Spyro must unfreeze them. Each fairy's in-game sprite colors are based off the four seasons (Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer).
Spyro 2: Season of Flame
This game introduces a new fairy named Thalia.
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.
Other appearances

- The fairies appear in Crash Team Rumble as common relic stations in the Artisans map.

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 doesn't appear to be any male fairies, since all of them shown so far have been female.
- Despite the fairies carrying new dragon eggs to the Dragon Worlds every twelve years, Zoe claims that they were too heavy for her and the other fairies to carry the eggs back from the Forgotten Worlds to the Dragon Realms.
