[edit] Personality
Sparx is a young and mischievous Dragonfly. He occasionally gives out humorous dialogue and sarcastic remarks. Despite his behavior, Sparx acts like a good adopted brother and companion to Spyro and is willing to help him on his journey. He blames Cynder for what she had done and gets freaked out by her in the beginning, but later on, he learns to trust her. He doesn't like Volteer's intellectual speeches because he doesn't understand what he says, and gets annoyed by Cyril's seemingly endless boastings. He can be annoying at times but his smart remarks sometimes help Spyro on his journeys.
[edit] Story
[edit] A New Beginning
Sparx lived in the Swamp with with his parents, Flash and Nina, and Spyro, who they adopted and raised him as one of their own. He and Spyro are like brothers. One day, when Spyro and Sparx were playing hide-and-seek, they wandered too far from their playgrounds and they were attacked by a group of Apes. They captured Sparx in a cage and Spyro tried to rescue him. When an Ape leader had enough of Sparx's taunts, he was about to stomp him, but Spyro was able to stop him by unleashing his Fire Blast attack, much to everyone's suprise. Spyro defeated the remaining Apes and freed Sparx. They told their parents about what had happened and they don't seemed suprised. They told Spyro the truth that he wasn't a Dragonfly, but a stranger from a distant land. Spyro then set off to find his real home; Sparx, though reluctant at first, decided to follow along.
After they fend off hostile forces along the way, they came in contact with Ignitus, the Fire Guardian Dragon. Spyro then learned who he really was and what has been happening, they were in war with the Dark Master, but lost, and the Dragon Temple was under occupation by their enemy, led by a large black Dragon named Cynder. When Spyro insisted Ignitus to take him to the Temple, Sparx thought it was a bad idea, but Spyro refused to give up.
After they drove Cynder's forces out of the Temple, Ignitus taught Spyro how to master his fire element. When Ignitus told Spyro that he needs to go find the other three Guardians by flight; Sparx thought it was a joke and doesn't believe Spyro can fly. Ignitus proved Sparx wrong by teaching Spyro how to.
When Spyro and Sparx was ready to leave with Terrador, the Earth Guardian Dragon, from Munition's Forge, Cynder attacked and chased Spyro throughout Munition's Forge. When Cynder was about to catch Spyro, Ignitus intervened to fight Cynder, but was captured. Spyro tried to help Ignitus, but Terrador stopped him and told him that he is not ready to take on Cynder.
After Terrador trained Spyro how to master earth and his fear, he sent Spyro and Sparx to Cynder's lair to rescue Ignitus.
When Spyro found Ignitus, Cynder stopped Spyro from destoying the final crystal and opened to portal of Convexity. Ignitus and Sparx suspected that it's no use to stop her, but Spyro refused to believe that and followed Cynder through the portal.
After Spyro defeated Cynder, she was freed from the Dark Master's influence and she returned to her true form, a young Dragon the same size and age as Spyro. As the realm began to collapse in on itself and the portal started to suck the three inside; Sparx insisted on making a quick exit, but Spyro declared he will not leave Cynder behind with the Dark Master; though barely, Spyro was able to grab Cynder and escaped safely.
[edit] The Eternal Night
When Sparx saw Cynder sneaking out of the Temple, he told Spyro not to follow her, but Spyro doesn't agree with him and chased after her. When Spyro caught up with Cynder, she said she doesn't want to hurt anyone else and left. Spyro was disappointed while Sparx seemed happy that she was gone. Suddenly, the Temple was under attack.
After Spyro drove off Gaul's forces, Ignitus and the other Guardian concluded that they're no longer safe in the Temple.
Sparx ventured alongside Spyro to the Ancient Grove, where they are supposed to find the Chronicler, but got captured by Pirates instead. During gladitorial combat, the Pirates forced Spyro and Cynder to battle against each other, much to Spyro and Sparxs' suprise. The battle was cut short when Gaul's forces attacked and captured Cynder, which gave Spyro and Sparx an opprotunity to escape.
After Spyro met the Chronicler at the White Isle, Spyro wanted to save Cynder from Gaul. Sparx, though being doubtful, decided to go with Spyro to help rescue Cynder.
After Spyro defeated Gaul and the Mountain of Malefor collapsing, Spyro used his Dragon Time powers to encase Cynder and Sparx in cystal to protect them.
[edit] Dawn of the Dragon
Sparx, Spyro, and Cynder broke free from the crystal after three years. He joined Spyro and Cynder to help them defeat Malefor from destroying the world. After the start of the game, Sparx was reunited with Spyro. Afterwards, he still retains his distrustful nature and doubts over Cynder, but Sparx continues to help Spyro progress by guiding his path from time to time. When the time comes for them to travel to Burned Lands, Spyro tells Sparx to stay behind. However, Sparx makes Cynder promise him to look after Spyro. He is last seen watching the world come back together with the Dragon Elders.
[edit] Trivia
- Sparx is one of two roles in The Legend of Spyro series to be constantly recast (the other being Cynder). He is voiced by David Spade in A New Beginning, Billy West in The Eternal Night, and Wayne Brady in Dawn of the Dragon. This subject was poked fun at in Dawn of the Dragon by Sparx himself ("Huh, you know, little stiff, voice keeps changing, but I'm good.").
- Sparx is one of the three characters (the others being Spyro and Hunter) from the original series to reappear in The Legend of Spyro reboot series.
- In The Eternal Night, Sparx can be seen eating butterflies. This is possibly a reference to the original series where Sparx ate butterflies in order to regain Spyro's health.
