Spike on the MLP:FiM wiki

Spike is a baby dragon and Twilight Sparkle's assistant. In the game, he is a non-playable character who issues many quests, and who also narrates finished quests in later updates.

He is voiced by Cathy Wesluck. In 2016, it was announced that Spike is a playable character and he is now joining Ponyville. You can get him by completing the last quest of The Ponyville Party. Up until Update 2.9 he couldn't play the apple picking game.

At each major update, Spike in a trenchcoat appears a total of 5 times (it used to be 10) to offer 3 each time; he appears in Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres, Canterlot, Crystal Empire, Klugetown and Everfree Forest.

If you remain on the same map, Spike will keep showing up (you don't need to search all maps for him).
He has a 5 minute (or less) cooldown.
If he doesn't appear, reloading the map seems to help. Enter/exit group quests or balloon pop to reload the map with changing maps.

Quotes[]

When tapped, he will respond with a random quote:

"Mmm...Mmm... Yum!"
"Have fun!"
"All right that's awesome. Yeah!"
"Wait! Can I be a prince?"
"I could eat gems all day."
"Okay. It's time to explore."

Unique Animations[]

Spike has several unique animations:

He pulls out a paper and starts writing on it with a feather pen.
He plays with a doll that resembles Rarity and cuddles it.
He pulls out two dolls that resemble Princess Cadance and Shining Armor and re-enacts their wedding by making them talk, then kiss.
He eats various things such as ice cream with a spoon, a plate of French fries, and popcorn.
He puts on a mustache, or a gem bedazzled red bow tie.
He dances in various ways.
