Balloonist Spyro

An unofficial "daddified" design by Nicholas Kole (post #1715916), who is credited as a concept artist for the remastered trilogy, to try and bring Spyro in line with the redesigns of the various adult dragons from the remake of the first game. The red scarf, the thick, fingerless gloves and the aviator goggles (besides the muscular body and biped stance) are signature features of this design, as Spyro has never worn any of these in any of the games. The name "Balloonist Spyro" refers to how this attire is associated with the balloonists of the first game, implying that Spyro has chosen to become one.
