Why does he not have wings when every other dragon does? Has ANY generation explained this? I've heard that there was a G1 special that was going to show him winged but it got canceled. But other than that, didn't they think it odd he's the only dragon in the world without them apparently?
The same reason that Zecora seems to be the only zebra in existence.
>no, comics aren't canon
Different subspecies of dragon. There's actually many types includingwyverns.

They haven't shown us this outside of non-canon EU stuff.

Have you ever noticed Twilight kinda seems like she's half-Chinese or something? Spike is a Chinese dragon.
That's why he likes the idea of facial hair. One day he will have an oriental dragon goat-beard.

He IS basically a snake on legs...

Plus he is a benevolent drake instead of all those scaly winged meanies, like how Chinese (Chineighs?) dragons are nice.
Though he does have the arrow-tipped tail, and lacks horns or hair of any kinds, so, not that strong of a theory. Got the fish-fin ear thing, though.

Can't these things still fly even without wings? They just swim through the sky.
>>30220911
You do realize that they're are different species/types of dragons right? Not all of them have wings.
>>30221091
Yeah, but if that's the case I would imagine Spike's flight powers would be enabled whenever his serpent body grew in. As it is, he's oval-shaped; no amount of magic will ever get that to fly.

I'm not sure about versions of him grown up that have him bipedal at all. His body is just shaped oddly.
