Spike the Dragon
Spike the Dragon, is a male purple and green baby dragon and one of the six deuteragonists of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. He is Twilight Sparkle's best friend and number one assistant. He met Pooh and his friends in Pooh's Adventures of Thomas and the Magic Railroad after Twilight Sparkle rescued them from The Grand Duke of Owls. He is Twilight Sparkle's friend and assistant. He has the ability to magically deliver scrolls to and from Princess Celestia with his green fire-breath, which is featured in many episodes, as is his crush on Rarity.
In the season eight episode Molt Down, Spike gains a pair of wings after undergoing a developmental stage for dragons called the "molt".

Appearance edit
Spike is like a baby dragon version of Barney. Spike is a purple dragon with green eyes, tummy, spiked hair and scales on his back and on his tail. From the Season 8 episode Molt Down, Spike grows a pair of wings due to the molt.
Personality edit
Spike is occasionally sarcastic and sometimes laughs at others' misfortunes, even though he usually means well. In Bridle Gossip, he comes up with nicknames for the ponies after their appearances change from an exposure to poison joke: Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Apple Teeny, Flutterguy, and Twilight Flopple. In Winter Wrap Up, he makes fun of Twilight's terrible nest-making and skating skills. However, he is very helpful and supportive towards Twilight in Lesson Zero. For instance, Spike is the only member of the main cast to take Twilight's concerns about missing a report to Princess Celestia seriously, unlike the others.
Spike is a fun-loving dragon: he enjoys the welcome party that Pinkie Pie throws for Twilight in Friendship is Magic, and scarfs down candy in Luna Eclipsed.
Spike is often defensive about his masculinity and dismissive of things he considers "girly," although his outward disdain is often a front. In The Ticket Master, for instance, Spike scoffs at the idea of attending the "girly gala gunk" throughout the episode, but he becomes overjoyed when Princess Celestia sends him a ticket at the end. He quickly reverts to not liking it when he sees Applejack looking at him, but both laugh about it afterwards.
In Party of One, when Pinkie tells him to confess, he admits to admiring his own reflection in a mirror when nobody else is around. He does this again in The Crystalling. In Read It and Weep, Twilight says to Rainbow Dash, "Just because you're athletic doesn't mean you aren't smart!" Spike adds, "Yeah, just look at me," curls his arm, and kisses his bicep, only to get weird looks from the mares.
But Spike is loyal, brave and fearless. And no matter what evil threat happens, Spike will be there to help the Mane 7 save the day.
