Well then as Ice isn't technically an element you would expect Spyro to have a water element instead of an Ice element and have ice as a secondary function. And wind is a viable element, after all they breathe air so you could expect wind to just be a powerful expel of air.

True, I just don't know if I'd count wind as one, although I guess it makes more sense then bubbles being one, lol

but water could come into being with ice, as ice is still water.

It would be difficult to imagine that Fire, Earth, Electricity and Ice are the only four elements especially when you consider the original Spyro had a number of different breaths and that there are numerous other elements such as wind and water.

Um not quite, it was actually any dragon born during the year of the dragon who could release Malefor, so technically, even Spyro could. Although I'd have to say that I might agree with the idea that wind isn't a natural element that dragons are born with.

Or perhaps wind isn't a natural element. I mean, I'm pretty sure at one point in ANB it was revealed Cynder was a special dragon, who's main power was the ability to trap and release dragons like Malefor, who were imprisoned.

Or she could've been a stillborn egg and they wouldn't've known until she didn't hatch, and Malefor's magic twisted her beyond total comprehension with normal dragon specie elements, because dragon embyos don't develope 'elements' until later on in the egg, and since she was born stillborn she never had the CHANCE?

Or, due to the fact that wind is typically attributed to the sky, she could have been a sky blue, as opposed to an ice blue/periwinkle, whatever shade of blue ice dragons (or Ignitus as the Chronicler... ugh, I seriously don't agree with the fact that they changed his color) would typically be. That's just my theory, that wind dragons could be anywhere between a white or grey contrast, to a sky blue color.

Actually I got thinking, the elders each represent and element and their colors reflect the colors given on Spyro's elements symbols. So if you go by the wind element symbol she'd be a light greyish blue. Of course that certainly don't make much sense, since she isn't lightly colored in any of the games, lol

Grey or white cynder???

Thats just 0_O

really white dragons or grey dragons don't really look good.

I would prefer if cynder was just black or her purple design.

We apologise for not running around searching for every post the almighty Razz has made, we humbly apologise almighty lord.

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.

I woudl say you're probably right about Spyro, I could see Ember being a bubble dragon too lol

Im going to go with her being a shadow dragon.

I also think if spyro wasn't a purple dragon he would be a fire dragon (great now whats the difference between him and flame XD)

seeming he breathed fire in the originals.

I wonder what ember would be lol bubble dragon
