Fun fact: Spyro was originally going to be called Pete but they didn’t want Disney to she the everloving shit out of them. His first redesigned name was Pyro but that was too edgy so they went with Spyro. He was also going to be a full size dragon before they settled on his final design!
The villain of the second game’s name is based off the Japanese characters used for Spyro’s name. スパイロ, looks like Ripto as stylized on the box art for the first Spyro.
