- “Oh, I just thought I saw one of those creepy fireflies lurking about.”
- —Sparx
Fireflies are flying insects in Spyro 2: Season of Flame with a sun-shaped thorax. They give the dragons in the Dragon Realms their fire breathing ability. If they are not present in the realms, the fire-breathing will disappear and replace it with ice-breathing.
Story[]
Ripto, in the process of stealing power sources from all of the realms to complete his volcanic base, scattered the fireflies of the Dragon Realms across the worlds, successfully robbing the Dragons of their fire breath. One hundred in all, each and every firefly was eventually reclaimed by Spyro and returned to their home with the dragons. Their magical power was used throughout the game to open portals to other worlds or Plains with the help of Bianca.
After enough of the Fireflies were captured, the door to Ripto's volcano was activated, allowing Spyro to enter and defeat the sorcerer. After all of the Fireflies were recovered, Spyro, Hunter, and Bianca returned to the Dragon Elder at Sunny Plains, releasing all of the Fireflies and returning the breath of flame to all dragons. In the ending credits, a few of the fireflies have fallen in love with Sparx, much to his dismay.

Trivia[]
- Much like the dragonfly lore from Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, the lore about fireflies providing the Dragons their fire breath is not referenced in later game titles.
