Gems (known as Treasure in the first game) are the signature collectible in the Spyro the Dragon franchise, and despite their significant value, they can be found in virtually every realm of every game. They're also the money in Spyro's universe.

Spyro the Dragon series
Spyro the Dragon
Treasures are needed to advance to new homeworlds in Spyro the Dragon. There are 14,000 treasure in the game total. 12,000 are officially counted as missing from the dragons' treasury and are needed to open the realm Gnasty's Loot. They can be found in gem containers, from treasure chests to metal vases, or are simply lying around in the open. The remaining 2,000 treasure are contained in Gnasty's Loot, which is considered a bonus realm and counts beyond 100% completion in the game.
Gnasty Gnorc's army of gnorcs are created from the treasure and will turn back into gems when defeated. Treasures are correspond to the following amounts of treasure:
- Red: 1
- Green: 2
- Blue: 5
- Yellow: 10
- Purple: 25
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
Gems need to be collected in order to pay Moneybags in exchange for access to various realms, areas within realms or abilities. Spyro will also need all 10,000 of them to unlock the mystery door in Dragon Shores, which contains the permanent Superflame powerup.
Gems in Ripto's Rage! come in the same varieties as Spyro the Dragon, except that the blue gems have been replaced with purple gems, which are also worth 5 treasure. The gems also have different shapes depending on their value, whereas all the gems in the first Spyro were basically the same shape, just different colors.
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Gems are again needed to pay Moneybags in order to progress through realms. In addition, Moneybags will require payment in exchange for unlocking other playable characters, who were imprisoned by the Sorceress and entrusted to his guard. (They are needed to collect all the dragon eggs and gems in the game.) Spyro will need all 15,000 gems in the game to unlock the Super Bonus Round. Once there, Spyro can collect 5,000 more to make 20,000 in the game total.
Gem varieties in Year of the Dragon follow the same scheme as Ripto's Rage!.
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
Ripto and his monsters have returned, they made an army of Riptocs that stole the gems and scattered them around the Dragon Realms. Gems need to be collected in the Dragon Realms once again to recover the dragon treasure. In the Thieves Den, some of the green gems grow legs and run around in circles due to having been turned into monsters by the Riptocs.
Spyro: A Hero's Tail
Red, the fallen dragon, uses a new type of gem, the Dark Gems, to poison and shrivel the land and fuel his evil power. These gems must be destroyed to reach certain parts of areas, find dragon elders who give you new abilities and fight the bosses for each world. In addition to the Dark Gems, the game also contains regular gems, which unlike the ones in previous games, can be collected to reach an infinite amount of gems. Enemies drop new gems every time you kill them and each area does not have a certain amount of gems contained in them. The gems are used in Moneybags' shop to buy lockpicks, upgrades, secondary breath attack uses, teleportation passes and other temporary items. They have slightly different amounts:
- Red: 1
- Green: 5
- Purple: 25
- Yellow: 100
The Legend of Spyro series
There are four types of gems in The Legend of Spyro series. According to the Chronicler, the Spirit Gemsare the life force of all dragons. The Spirit Gems are collected whenever Spyro defeats an enemy, similar to when the old Spyro defeats an enemy and it releases a gem. The red gems heal Spyro's health, the green gems fills his Mana and the purple gems fills his Fury bar.
The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning
In this game, the Spirit Gems give Spyro Health, Mana, and Fury energy all at once.
The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night
In this game, the Spirit Gems are separated into three colors and a fourth gem is added.
- Red Gems restore any lost health.
- Green Gems restore Spyro's mana meter, allowing him to use more breaths and energy projectiles.
- Blue Gems fill the spirit pool on the Level Up screen, allowing the player to upgrade Spyro's breaths and projectile attacks.
- Purple Gems fill Spyro's Fury meter, once full, it allows him to unleash a devastating attack that very few enemies have even the slightest chance of surviving.
The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon
The gems are the same in this game as its previous title, but the purple gems that fills Spyro's Fury bar wasn't included.
Skylanders series
Gems are one of the many treasures that can be found all over the worlds of Skylands in the Skylanders series, either lying scattered on the ground or hiding inside chests or containers. Some of them resemble the classic designs of the gems from the game of Spyro the Dragon. When picked up, they grant a small amount of coins.
