What is Spike's gender?

[cuteycindyhoney 13,341]

I never thought there was any question. Although voiced by Cathy Wesluck (Also the voice of our favorite bureaucrat, Mayor Mare), Spike is a decidedly male baby dragon. Why else would he be so infatuated with his beloved Rarity? While I am one hundred percent in favor of depicting a same sex romance, Hasbro would NEVER (Read that in Pinkie's voice) go for it.

hes a guy, definitely a guy. i'm pretty sure in some episode, some pony calls him "son" or "good boy" or... something like that right? 

NEVER THE LESS! spike is a boy  

[Will Guide 21,376]

I of course, know he's a guy of course. But you know I haven't seen Rule 63 of Spike as a girl. I should go look.

Barb looks like a little diva lol so cute

[Scootaloodle 1,623]

I don't really see how anyone got Spikes gender mixed up to be honest

 

Having said that, the first MLP clip I saw pre-getting into the show was the "yay louder" scene with Dash and Fluttershy, and I thought Rainbow Dash was a boy

this is why i thout he was a guy i was just not shure.

(I am seriously about to go Grammar Nazi mode)

 

Spike is most certainly a guy, though he is voiced by a female voice actor. There has been many instances where he was referred to as "him, he, or his". And the name "Spike" would fit a male character more accurately.

Just confirms the fact spike needs a little dragon friend of his own, poor guy isn't going to get anywhere with a pony.

your right! Twilight can't be the only unicorn with a dragon companion.

maybe next season they'll give spike a friend.

maybe she'll live in canterlot and it'll show spike dealing with a long distance friendship.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

 

That is...

 

You make me feel like a terrible, terrible person. I hope you're happy.

Why do you do this to me, Buck Testa?

 

Muahahahahaha! None can resist Barbs cuteness!

[The Boulder 121]

He's a dude. Albeit, with some more traditionally feminine hobbies and interests, but still a male.

[Art Thief 215]

 

This place needs more Rule 63 Spike.

[Kawaii Besu 28,030]

I would classify Spike as a "girl's boy", since (s)he's voiced by a female after all...

 

But anyways, what you've seen is just R63 fan art, and that's over 9000% not canon to the show after all.

[Smokie-Horse 83]

And whenever one of the Mane 6 talk about him not by name, they refer to him as a male....

 

Cool signature image.

 

Well, just because there aren't enough people here saying the same thing, Spike is a bro. But the fact that his voice actor is actually a voice actress makes things a little more complicated.

[ThatOneComrade 1,092]

Spike is obviously a girl. You can see it in those feminine eyes, the claws, the whole shebang. She just has a deeper voice than average.

[LZRD WZRD 1,929]

Since when has Spike's gender ever been called into question?

I don't really see how anyone got Spikes gender mixed up to be honest

 

Having said that, the first MLP clip I saw pre-getting into the show was the "yay louder" scene with Dash and Fluttershy, and I thought Rainbow Dash was a boy

What? Dash isn't a BOY!?

 

Mind = blown

[TheMisterManGuy 344]

Yes, Spike is male I believe. I assume he's on the show to give any boy watching someone to latch on to. 

[Visual Spectrum 1,932]

Spike is a male. Female pictures are pictures of Barbara, his female counterpart. 

 

Spike is voiced by a female, but he is still a male character. 

[GenderIsAnIllusion 2,178]

Maybe he's both..... Ever think of that?

[SilverStarApple 850]

Spike is clearly male.

 

If you're referring to that pic with male Rarity and female Spike, those are Barbera and Elusive, their Rule63 Counterparts.

[Celli 4,352]

I don't see why anyone would think he's a girl? Where would you even get an idea like that?
