Spynder

Spynder is the het ship between Spyro and Cynder from the Skylanders and The Legend of Spyro series.

The Legend of Spyro
Spyro has been known to care for Cynder ever since he defeated her at the end of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning.

In The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, Spyro was sad when Cynder left the temple. Later, when Spyro was forced to fight against Cynder in Skabb's arena, he refused. When in the Chronicler's tests, Spyro's worst fear was shown to be Cynder turning evil again.

Spyro and Cynder became a couple in the third part of the trilogy, The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. At the end of the game, Cynder said that she loved Spyro.

Skylanders
The way Spyro and Cynder met is similar to how they met in The Legend of Spyro. Spyro defeated Cynder, who was under Malefor's control and got her to join the Skylanders.

Skylanders Academy
Cynder was the rebellious daughter of Malefor who joined Skylanders Academy in an attempt to become a hero. It was there where she met Spyro and the two became close friends.

Fanon
Even before the ship became canon, it had lots of supporters. Spynder is the most popular ship in The Legend of Spyro and possibly all Spyro universes. Other ships such as SpyroxEmber or SpyroxElora are seen as its rival ships despite those ships having a different version of Spyro.

The Skylanders version of Spynder has gained popularity due to the pairing being popular in The Legend of Spyro.
