The hero from multiple adventures, Spyro the dragon, was invited by Master Eon to join the Skylanders. Spyro is a Magic Element character figure for the game Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Once placed on the Portal of Power, Spyro will become the player character, and can fly and charge at enemies, tackling them with his horns. It is also compatible with other Skylanders games.

While the Spyro figure was originally only available as part of the console starter pack, a chrome version was distributed at the Skylanders Giants demo during E3 2012. A legendary version of the character has also been released in another three-figure pack along with legendary versions of Bash and Chop Chop.
