Spyro the Dragon (1998)
Originally, the dragons had designs that merely differentiated the five dragon groups apart from one another in general appearance. Except for some slight model variations, it was sometimes hard to distinguish individual dragons from one another unless they belonged to different groups. The dragons here are now much more distinct from each other, with more unique designs that better emphasize the different homeworlds they belong to and their respective talents.
Artisans
In the original game, the Artisan dragons were rather standard looking, almost resembling what Spyro might potentially grow up into. The most, if not only noteworthy, distinctive feature they all had which differentiated them from the other dragons though was that they had sideburn-like neck frills that went along their jawlines. For Reignited, while some of them still retain these sideburn-like frills to varying degrees, they are now more diverse as well as wear clothing more fitting of artists and intellectuals.
- In the Artisans' homeworld hub, Argus is now a glasses and scarf wearing frill-necked dragon beatnik with a beard of whisker-like spikes that carries a watermelon. Additionally, in the Reignited version of the third game, Argus is made the one who sends Spyro, Sparx, and Hunter off to retrieve the stolen eggs in the opening cutscene and who lifts up the burping baby dragon in the final one. Delbin is now an artist in a vest that carries a painting of Sparx. As his dialogue upon being freed involved talking about Sparx, his releasing scene now also has him briefly interacting with the dragonfly before leaving. Nestor is now a carpenter
. He carries a carpenter's hammer as well as wears a vest with puffy sleeves and a tool belt. Lastly, Tomas is now a ram-horned bard with a lute. As in the original game, he and Argus appear in the 120% completion cutscene though now it's much clearer that it's them. - In Stone Hill, Astor, with the shepherd crook-like stylized cane and feathered hat he now possesses, now has a very elderly sage look to him that further emphasizes him being a really old dragon that spouts out stories that Spyro would rather not stick around for. Additionally in the Reignited version of the third game, he likewise appears as he originally did in a number of cutscenes and more, though he's no longer the one seen trying to pull out his fellow dragon that got stuck in the hole Bianca went through in the opening cutscene. Gavin now is a coffee-drinking, big, muscular, arm and wing membrane tattooed, mustachioed dragon with a nose ring and large nail-like ear gauges in his horns. He now overall looks like a barista especially with the apron he wears that has extra coffee mugs hanging on. Additionally, in the Reignited version of the third game, he now appears in a number of cutscenes. Gildas is now a paint splotch-covered dragon in a painting apron with an oversized paintbrush. Lastly, Lindar is now a goggle-wearing dragon with white-seeming Einstein Hair that appears to be a watchmaker or time-related inventor as evident by the various watches he wears on his apparel. As in the original game, Lindar along with Astor appear in the opening cutscene as the dragon who insults Gnasty Gnorc and the elderly dragon, respectively, however, it's now made clearer that it's them. Additionally, in the Reignited version of the third game, Lindar also now appears in a number of cutscenes. In particular, he replaces Astor as the one seen trying to pull out his stuck fellow dragon in the opening cutscene.
- In Dark Hollow, Alban now wears a green scarf and monocle and has a feathery crest, mustache, and wings. He even uses one of his feathers as a makeshift quill pen. Darius now wears a blue scarf and has a small orange mustache and beard. Overall, he resembles a Shakespearean actor as he carries with him a dragon skull with a candle on the forehead, a script, and a rose. Lastly, Oswin now wears a red turban, as well as a cloak around his shoulders and arm gauntlets. Incidentally, his design is actually an orange version of the placeholder design Nestor had in the initial reveal trailer.
- In Town Square, Alvar is now an apron-wearing barbecue chef that has a barbecue skewer with a chicken on it, as well as several peppers skewered on his tail spikes. Devlin is now a local baker decked in baker attire. Along with a large wooden peel, he carries a large Thank You cake for Spyro, of which served as the latter's 20th anniversary/birthday cake in a video and some artwork. Nils is now much skinnier than he was in the original game, wears a beret, and has a long Salvador DalÃ-style mustache. He's a sculptor with a hammer, chisel, and a stone bust of Spyro that he was apparently making. Lastly, Thor is now an elderly cow-headed dragon in an apron with clay on it and his arms. He has cow ears whose furred tips are braided into pig tails, a tail whose tufted tip is likewise braided into a pig tail, and colorful back plate spines. The various pottery that accompany him as well as the artwork of him during the Reignited credits show he's a potter.
- In Toasty, Nevin is now a painter with an artist's palette and paintbrush, apparently being responsible for creating the various paintings in the level. If one looks more closely, one would note that while his paintings are mostly landscapes, there are also portraits of other dragons, namely those of Bubba, Lateef, Lucas, Nevin himself, and Kelvin.
Peace Keepers
In the original game, the Peace Keeper dragons were differentiated from the other dragons by having leopard-like spots, short nose horns, and overall looked like they were suited for their home, a dry canyon environment. The majority of them also tended to be the most muscular-looking among all the dragons.

In the original game, the Magic Crafter dragons, unlike the other dragons, had bisected antler-like horns, distinctive beady eyes, and were the only ones with actual hair as shown most prominently by their side hair and almost wizard-like beards. Several even have Trrrilling Rrrs in their speech.

A good number of them also tended to be the fattest among all the dragons and many had very noticeable Cajun accents. For Reignited, while aspects like some of them being fat and some having Cajun accents have been kept, they no longer all share the same basic features.

Wyatt now sports a mustache and wears a red hat and shirt while Roy now chews on some wheat and wears a brown hat and shirt. Holiday meanwhile retains his distinction of wearing a glass helmet but now additionally wears a scuba tank on his back with a hose connected to his helmet. He also wears a yellow shirt designed slightly differently than those worn by Wyatt and Roy.
- In the original game, the Gunfighter Dinos and TNT Dinos were mere Palette Swap enemies. For Reignited, in addition to being redesigned to be more anthropomorphic, they now wear more clothes that make the two enemy types more distinct from one another than just simple palette swaps. The green Gunfighter Dinos now wear Texan gunslinger ensembles that include "Crocodile" Dundee-like cowboy hats whose bands are strapped with claws. Meanwhile, the blue TNT Dinos now wear predominately yellow Mexican attires complete with sombreros and serapes. They also carry on their back barrels that have rope fuses sticking out of them.
