Spylora

Spylora is the het ship between Spyro and Elora from the Spyro the Dragon fandom.

Ripto's Rage
Spyro and Elora first met when the Professor used a portal to summon a dragon to Avalar. Elora was in awe at the sight of a dragon. However, Spyro's first meeting with Elora and her friends was quickly interrupted by Ripto, who was raging when he found out there was a dragon. After Ripto left, Elora went after him.

Spyro and Elora met again in Summer Forest, where the two properly introduced themselves. Elora also gave Spyro advice on Orbs and Talismans, and gave him a guidebook with details of the homeworlds in Avalar. Elora also opened Ripto's castle for Spyro after he had successfully collected 40 orbs.

After Spyro defeated Ripto, Elora kissed him. As Spyro was about to go to Dragon Shores on a vacation, he asked Elora to come with him. Elora, however, declined the offer, as she had to stay in Avalar to clean up the mess Ripto had made.

Year of the Dragon
After the Sorceress's first defeat, Spyro and Elora met briefly at Agent 9's lab. She and the Professor talked to Spyro, and also refused to reveal where Hunter had gone, as Hunter wanted to keep that a secret. Later, Spyro and Elora watched a fireworks show in Fireworks Factory together, and Elora tried to cheer Spyro up after Spyro found out Hunter had fallen in love with Bianca.

Reignited Trilogy
In the remade versions of both Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon, the relationship for Spyro and Elora has been changed slightly. While the moments the pair have together are the same, it is now suggested that Spyro reciprocates feelings for Elora, including giving her a friendly wave in Agent 9's Lab and sitting in the grass with her to watch the fireworks together.

Fanon
Spylora is one of the three major ships for Spyro, along with Spynder and Spymber. Out of these three, Spylora is the least involved in ship wars. Spylora fans used to have a more positive reputation than Spynder fans as they tended to be less demanding when it comes to shipping until Spylora shippers caused havoc in the comments section of a Pride month Fanfiction on AO3 [https://archiveofourown.org/works/32122009 ] leading to the author shutting off comments after deleting the argument and thanking Spynder shippers for not getting involved. The Fanfiction is known as "Spyro's Great Day" involving a Polyamorous relationship but Spylora shippers were pissed at Spymber and Cymber being included rather than Elora and Spyro calling some fans "Ember Turds" and "Cymber freaks" causing a toxic discussion.

Spylora has gained new popularity following the release of Spyro Reignited Trilogy in 2018. There is plenty of fanart involving Elora's Reignited Trilogy design. One of the most popular images of the ship was drawn by Travis the Dragon and has over 200 favorites.

On AO3, the pairing is the most popular for Elora. It is the second most popular romantic and third most popular ship in general for Spyro. It is also the fourth most common ship with the Spyro the Dragon (Video Games) fandom tag.
