Now, he has wings.

Been a while since I read it, but I know there was at least one scene where he flew so probably.

A question:  
Did kkat ever write that she gave Spike wings or not when he got older? I mean, compared to this art, that is.  
Considering the fact that he does end up with wings in S8 and that would be the epitome of Hilarious in Hindsight.

Hehe, skyrim dragon language.

Spike: Welcome little wanderer. Here to check out a book or perhaps merely converse?
 
Littlepip: I guess I’m here to find a book.
 
Spike: Tolro rinik pruzah. That’s very good. It’s been a long time since my master and I have gotten a visitor.

The artist stated he was intentionally drawn without wings, as he was modeled after an eastern dragon, who can fly without wings.

@Ghouleh Your wish is my command! =3  

Now that you mention, yeah, he should have wings!

Spike keeps his horde of gems separated by color/flavor, apparently. He’s like that kid (you know who you are) who separates his M&Ms and eats them one color at a time.

Otherwise magnificent, but shouldn’t he have wings? He flies several times in the story…

That MAGNIFICENT mustache.

Well, looks like Spike got that ’stache he always wanted.

@Background Pony #0F81  
With an epic mustache.

spike is a chinese dragpn!?

Oh. That’s how a dragon grows a mustache.

New headcanon acquired: Should Spike ever achieve apotheosis, he will become the Equestrian equivalent of Wan Shi Tong.

This is exactly how I see his cave.

He took over for this guy,  

 
If you take from the hoard, you must give to the hoard.

@Ping_chan  
Yep. From the Deviantart page:
 
And Littlepip meets Spike - a fully grown, very intimidating dragon that could gobble her up in one bite! But fortunately, he won’t…
 
 
It never sat right with me that Spike has wings as an adult dragon in the story, however he doesn’t have wings in MLP FiM, and doesn’t even appear to be able to grow wings. As such, I drew Spike as my headcanon works with him - in Fallout Equestria: On The Bright Side of Death, Spike is an Oriental Dragon, inately different from other dragons, able to fly without wings, and has a fixation on facial hair, which I say, he sports with gusto.
 
I pity the pony that hurts the stache.

Now, about that overdue book…

That moustache beard combo is nothing short of glorious.

in awe of his godly stache

Well look on the bright side no one will steal the books now.

FOE?
