Haha, me too. Spyro is just... Spyro! And he's awesome.

I think we may all be overthinking this a bit

Probably medieval dragon illustration. Since they flap with their wings and breath fire.

What if he's an American mythological dragon?

Do you think Spyro would be part of his own mythology, then?

I don't think they thought it through to that extent. They just wanted a dragon character and the most well known and recognizable style happens to be those from European fantasy and folklore. Personality wize he's a unique character completely outside that

You could be right, but this whole philosophy with European dragons is confusing, though. From what I've read, European dragons are vile, evil, and destructive beasts. The Asian ones are almost the exact opposite.

European dragons probably. He looks more like them than any other mythology's dragons anyway

Which mythology do you think he'd belong to? I know it can't be Aztec nor Chinese, since that Aztec dragon has feathers and the Chinese dragons end up sacrificing themselves into four rivers.
