Spike

Spike is a male pre-teen dragon who is Twilight Sparkle's assistant in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and who also appears as one of the main protagonists in My Little Pony: The Movie.

Role in the Movie
In the film, Spike works as Twilight's assistant as she organizes the Festival of Friendship in Canterlot. When the city is invaded by the Storm King's forces, led by Tempest Shadow, Spike accompanies the Mane Six as they escape to seek out the "Queen of the Hippos"—later specified to be Queen Novo of the Hippogriffs—for help. During their journey, they are nearly sold into slavery by Capper and thrown overboard Captain Celaeno's airship. In the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, Spike is transformed into a pufferfish and he and his friends almost convince Novo to help them save their home from the Storm King, but Twilight's attempted theft of Novo's Pearl of Transformation gets them banished from Seaquestria.

Spike tries to console Twilight after she has a falling-out with her friends over her actions. As Twilight is captured by Tempest, Spike escapes to inform his friends about Twilight's capture and they return to Canterlot along with other friends they made during their journey to rescue her. After sneaking into the city and fighting past the Storm King's forces during which Capper uses him as a flamethrower, the Mane Six reunite and make amends, and they eventually succeed in defeating the Storm King. In the end, the Friendship Festival resumes, and Spike and his friends befriend Tempest.
