There’s no doubt that Spyro is the coolest dragon of all time!
But our purple hero is not the only dragon in the Spyro the Dragon video game series. What about the other dragon names?
Today, I’m listing all dragon names in Spyro the Dragon, including their meanings!
All dragon names in Spyro the Dragon (including meanings)
In Spyro the Dragon (the first Spyro game), Gnasty Gnorc has turned all dragons except Spyro into crystal statues. It’s up to Spyro to save them.
Each rescued dragon provides Spyro with a piece of advice. And those who don’t, simply say: “Thank you for releasing me.” Ah, the nostalgia!
Here are the names of all 80 rescued dragons in Spyro the Dragon (Spyro 1). And not just the names; I’ve included their meanings and genders too!
I’ve classified the dragons by their home worlds and levels.
Artisans dragon names
The Artisan dragons are songwriters, sculptors, and painters. The Spyro the Dragon (PS1)game manual describes them as the gentlest of all dragon families.

Beast Maker dragons are swamp dwellers, and Beast Maker dragon names reflect that.
For example, Bubba is a common Southern name. Claude, on the other hand, is French. These names make me think of the wetlands of Louisiana.

Baby dragon names in Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon
In Spyro 3: The Year of the Dragon, an evil Sorcerer has stolen 150 dragon eggs. Of course, rescuing the babies is Spyro’s job.
Every time Spyro finds an egg, a baby dragon hatches. Just like in Spyro 1, each rescued dragon is mentioned by name.
These are the names of the baby dragon eggs in Spyro 3. They’re classified by the level they can be found in. I’ve also included the meaning and gender of each name.
Probably derived from a sheep’s ”baa” since baby Ba’ah hatches wearing a sheep costume.

Female dragon names in Spyro the Dragon
I think it’s a bit weird all the dragons in Spyro the Dragon (Spyro 1) are male. Where are all the female dragons?
At least in Spyro 3, both male and female dragons hatch from the rescued eggs. But adult female dragons are not shown in the classic Spyro trilogy.
However, a few young and adult female dragon characters appeared in the Spyro games following the original trilogy.
In Spyro: A Hero’s Tail, there’s Ember, a young pink female dragon who has a crush on Spyro.
Spyro: Shadow Legacy introduced a female Dragon Elder, Cho Lei.
Cynder is a black female dragon in The Legend of Spyro series. She became Spyro’s love interest.
What is your favorite dragon name in Spyro the Dragon?
That was a lot of names, but we made it to the end! There you go; we’ve listed all dragon names in Spyro the Dragon (Spyro 1) and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon.
When it comes to Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, Spyro is the only dragon in the game. So there’s no point in making a list of dragon names for that!
As a huge Spyro fan, I’m always happy to hear other people’s thoughts about the topic. What is your favorite dragon name in Spyro the Dragon? How about your favorite dragon world? Please share your favorite picks in the comments below!
