Okay guys, I'm leaving these forums. If you have any questions for him, I will still be reading my PMs so just PM them to me or send me an e-mail. Keep checking Just for Faun as the full interview with him will be posted there in the future.

Arg! It was just the change in art style! How many times do I have to say it? They did not physically grow at all. If they had, someone would have remarked upon it. If you paid any attention to the DotD site before they switched developers, you would have noticed that the "characters" section even showed off some of Krome's character designs, and guess what? Spyro and Cynder looked the same as they had in ANB and TEN.

Spyro and Cynder look older because EL changed the art style and that is literally the only reason.

Oiy. I'll say it again.

Of the powers in Cynder's arsenal, only one is an actual element: wind. The other three (fear, poison, shadow) are not elements but just dark powers she acquired from the DM and her lifetime of living in his shadow. The Chronicler confirms that this is why she has extra powers, in fact.

So, Cynder is a wind dragon. In the three games, she's shown three different colors depending on where we see her.

ANB
Black in the cutscenes. Dusky gray in her concept art and in-game model.

TEN
Blue-gray in her official concept art. Dusky gray in her cutscenes and in-game model.

DotD
Varying shades of a deep, iridescent blue in all models and art.

Given that she is a wind dragon and that her egg in ANB was seen to be a dusky, stormcloud gray and that the most common color we see her with is that same dark gray, that is the color I think she is naturally. She's probably darker than she would have been had she not been raised by the DM's forces.

If someone will get me a good shot of Bandit, I'll draw their mutant kids.

I actually like Bandit/Ember. It's nice to see more interspecies couples out there and Spyro really didn't like her. I'm glad she stopped stalking him and went for someone who was actually interested.

OMG, they're all pariahs! Run!

(The pariah is a dragon with no elemental power and a great many physical problems but who possesses the forbidden power over the mind. She's very crazy. )

A dragon with no elements is only boring if you think of him as being so. Personally, a think a dragon with no powers is more interesting than one with power. The Guardians, Spyro and Cynder are all pretty stereotypical because of their powers, whereas a simple country/city fighting dragon has a lot more story to tell because he doesn't get to be special.

I like the idea that every dragon has an element but only a few can master theirs. But I also like the idea that only certain dragons are born with elemental powers. The characteristics of the Warfang dragons show a generic creature with no elemental signifiers (colors, special horn/spike patterns, etc) that makes me think that at least all of those dragons have no elemental powers at all.

LoS Sparx is definitely Spyro's age since they were born on the same day. Insomniac Sparx is a little older than Spyro, but we don't know how much. All we know is that, in the game manual, it does say that Sparx talked to Spyro when he was still in the egg.

Insomniac Spyro never had an official age. According to Oliver Wade, the folks at Insomniac never even thought of his age when they were making the games. Universal commissioned a "bratty dragon kid who might appeal to 10-year-olds". Traditionally, Spyro has been considered to be around 11 or 12 in the first three games, which all take place pretty quickly after each other so he wouldn't age much.

Love square. XD

So whose got the crush in Elora/Bianca?
