Spyro also has an evil alter ego known as " Dark Spyro", who is stoic, ruthless, and animalistic, and manifests when Spyro is consumed by the " Dark Aether", a force born from negative energies. Spyro is adventurous, curious about his past, and eager to shape his future, in which he is expected to become something of a chieftain. Here, Spyro is described as willing to help his friends and strangers with whatever problems they may have, without desire for reward. He comes from a rare line of purple dragons, who are able to physically harness the power of the four classical elements. In The Legend of Spyro, which takes place in a different continuity, Spyro was raised by dragonflies alongside Sparx after his egg was lost during an attempt to destroy his brood. In Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Year of the Dragon, Spyro is more mature and laidback, though he continues to trash talk enemies such as Ripto. He is very brash, being eager to defeat the game's villain, Gnasty Gnorc. Spyro originates from the Dragon Kingdom in Spyro the Dragon, and lives in the Artisans homeworld.

Price claimed in an interview that Insomniac stopped developing Spyro games after Spyro: Year of the Dragon because Spyro could not hold anything in his hands and therefore his actions were limited.
According to programmer Peter Hastings, NASA rocket scientist Matt Whiting was hired to program Spyro's controls so that he could move as smoothly as possible. Spyro was given the ability to glide infinitely to give him "something he could do that no other platformer could", making the game's worlds significantly larger and providing more incentive for exploration. He was made younger to appeal to children, needing "to be cute, but at the same time, mischievous, bratty, unpredictable, and something of an upstart." His color was changed to purple so as to avoid blending in with any grassy areas.
Spyro was originally named "Pete" and colored green during development, but the name was dropped to avoid infringing on the trademark Pete's Dragon, which was owned by The Walt Disney Company.
