'''Flame''', also named '''Fire''' or '''Flame Breath''', is one of [[Spyro the Dragon|Spyro]]'s signature abilities. He uses it in nearly all of his appearances since ''[[Spyro the Dragon (video game)|Spyro the Dragon]]''. Breathing flame allows Spyro to burn enemies and certain objects, such as [[Basket]]s or basic [[Treasure Chest]]s, and defeat [[fodder]]. In ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]'' and ''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]'', there is a temporary power-up named [[Superflame]], which serves as a stronger variant of the Flame ability.

'''Flame''', also named '''Flame Breath''', '''Fire''', or '''flame attack''', is one of [[Spyro]]'s two main attacks, the other being [[Charge|charging]]. This is the only breath attack he has until ''[[Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly|Enter the Dragonfly]]'' and onwards (with the exception of [[Frozen Altars]] in ''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]'', which allowed him to use [[Ice Breath|Ice]] instead), when other [[Dragon Breath|breath]] types are introduced such as Ice, [[Electric Breath|Electricity]], and [[Bubble Breath|Bubble]].


In ''[[Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly]]'', Spyro can acquire different types of breaths along his journey, but his Flame Breath remains his standard one.
Spyro's fire breath can be used to defeat enemies and destroy containers, but it does not work on [[Fireproof Metal|fireproof metal]]. This breath is also sometimes used to light objects on fire, such as the flame-powered machinery in [[Breezebuilder]]s.


In ''[[Spyro 2: Season of Flame]]'', Spyro and the [[dragon]]s lost their ability to breathe fire when the [[Rhynoc]]s stole the [[firefly|fireflies]] from the [[Dragon Realm]]s. Because of this, Spyro can only breathe ice during the start of the game. He goes on a journey to recover the missing fireflies. In the first stage, [[Country Farms]], [[Bianca]] uses a magic spell to grant Spyro his flame breath back, although Spyro still retains his ice-breathing ability and can willingly alternate between it and his flame breath throughout his journey.  
In the original and Nintendo GameBoy Advance ''Spyro'' trilogies, Spyro breathes five arrow-shaped bursts of fire at once. However, from ''Enter the Dragonfly'' and onwards, Spyro learned how to blow a constant stream of fire.

In ''[[Spyro: A Hero's Tail]]'', like in ''Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly'', Spyro can acquire and use different breaths besides Flame.
Fire breath can usually be upgraded to [[superflame]], a more powerful version that can even destroy fireproof metal. In the original ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]'', Superflame is granted by the kiss of a [[fairy]], but in later games, it is usually achieved by walking through [[Powerup Gate]]s.

Darius, Spyro the Dragon

Flame, also named Flame Breath, Fire, or flame attack, is one of Spyro's two main attacks, the other being charging. This is the only breath attack he has until Enter the Dragonfly and onwards (with the exception of Frozen Altars in Spyro: Year of the Dragon, which allowed him to use Ice instead), when other breath types are introduced such as Ice, Electricity, and Bubble.

Spyro's fire breath can be used to defeat enemies and destroy containers, but it does not work on fireproof metal. This breath is also sometimes used to light objects on fire, such as the flame-powered machinery in Breezebuilders.

In the original and Nintendo GameBoy Advance Spyro trilogies, Spyro breathes five arrow-shaped bursts of fire at once. However, from Enter the Dragonfly and onwards, Spyro learned how to blow a constant stream of fire. Certain levels in Spyro: Season of Ice and Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy depict Spyro breathing fireballs.

Fire breath can usually be upgraded to superflame, a more powerful version that can even destroy fireproof metal. In the original Spyro the Dragon, Superflame is granted by the kiss of a fairy, but in later games, it is usually achieved by walking through Powerup Gates. In Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs, after consuming a pepper in the Banana Sabanna, Spyro permanently gains the ability to use the Superflame by charging his normal fire breath.

In A Hero's Tail, special fire breath projectiles, Flame Bombs can be purchased from Moneybags' shops.
