My version for adult/next gen! Spike. I imagine as he got older his limbs and body grew ganglier and his center of weight shifted. He now walks around on all fours, but can easily stand up on two to make use of his hands. Originally lived with Rarity in Canterlot while the two of them were together where Allusion was born. Once Spike and Rarity split, he moved back to Ponyville to reside in Twilight’s old castle and later, when he and Thorax came together, the changeling joined him and Spine was born not long after with magical aid.

He visits the Dragonlands to see Ember when he can, maintaining a strong relationship with her through which the two share stories. He acts as a sort of ‘ambassador’, delivering messages between Ember and the various princesses, but he has no official title.
