==History==
==History==
Dragons of the Earth Element embrace a strong connection to nature, covering their bodies with its power, persisting at all times, but is at its peak when the Dragon is firmly grounded. They specialize in fighting on solid ground over aerial attack, calling forth the essence of stone and living nature. The power is expressed as an energy-based protection but literal stone and earth can be shaped and brought to beat in the service of a determined mind. Earth is a form founded on the precepts of strength over adversity, willful resolve and unyielding determination. The bedrock of the world fuels with energy, alive with ancient magics and fields of mana; a trained Earth Dragon at the height of its abilities can draw strength from these, delving deep into vast reserves to express its power.
Ice is a weapon of great contrasts and a tool of many uses. For the mightiest of Ice Dragons, it can slow the approach of an advancing army, or provide drinking water to a thirsty village. To harness the abilities of Ice, a Dragon must first learn to understand the nature of water and embrace a cruel resolve deep within themselves, for only then can ice be produced. Moisture is drawn in from the air and, in dire emergencies, from the Dragon's own body. In combat, it is plausible that a master of Ice could increase their defenses by magically covering parts of their body in magically projected pack ice, or when on the offensive, adorn themselves with impressive projections of needle sharp ice. It is the tool of the true survivalist.<ref>''[http://that-spyro-guy.deviantart.com/art/TLoS-Elemental-Class-Ice-604335050 TLoS Elemental Class Ice]''. (Date Posted - Apr. 21, 2016). ''[http://deviantart.com DeviantArt]''.</ref>
 
It wouldn't be unheard of for a Dragon alligned with this ability to perhaps augment their natural defenses with elementally extracted stone, fusing armoured plates and blunt protrusions to form a highly resistant armour.<ref>''[http://that-spyro-guy.deviantart.com/art/TLoS-Elemental-Class-Earth-604480724 TLoS Elemental Class Earth]''. (Date Posted - Apr. 22, 2016). ''[http://deviantart.com DeviantArt]''.</ref>
 
==Guardian of Earth Terrador==
Being the master of the Earth element, Terrador can utiltize his signature power against his enemies. In ''[[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night Theatrical Shorts]]'', he is shown to generate Earth energy by slamming his tail onto the ground, creating a green energy shockwave that blasted several [[Dreadwings]] off the [[Dragon Temple]] balcony.
In ''[[The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon]]'', during [[Attack of the Golem|the battle]] with the [[Golem (character)|Golem]], Terrador curled up into a ball after charging at the creature mid-flight and hurtling through the air, surrounded by Earth energy. In the level's storyboard images, the intention was to coat Terrador's body in a shell of stone like an actual cannonball, akin to Spyro's Earth Boulder ability.

Spyro obtained this element in [[Munitions Forge]] when a large bell landed on top of him. The trauma of being trapped under the bell awakened his Earth elemental abilities, which the young dragon immediately used to free himself. Spyro's main attack that he used to escape was titled ''Earth Shot.'' which turns earthly energies into a green, cone-shaped burst that is useful against large crowds of enemies. His secondary attack he used in manipulation of his standard attack was "Earth Bomb", where a small leafy orb is spit out towards his foes and would induce a large green tornado as its 'explosion'.
[[File:Legend Ice Breath.jpg|thumb|Spyro breathing Ice]] In an unusual situation, Spyro and Sparx came towards a pathway in [[Tall Plains]], where they noticed [[Kane]] fall from a waterfall during an encounter with [[Rubble Brute]]s. Seeing Kane in mortal danger, Spyro's ice abilities were awakened, allowing him blow out a stream of ice to make a large, glacier formation on the river to prevent Kane from falling to his death off the very edge of Tall Plains.<ref>''[https://comments.deviantart.com/1/604335050/4110885609 Spyro was exposed to trauma that triggered his latent ice ability...]''. (Date Posted - Apr. 22, 2016). ''[http://deviantart.com DeviantArt]''.</ref> Sparx was dumfounded by his abilities and Spyro agreed with it too. However, when utilizing this new trait known as Ice Stream, Spyro took it until he learned how to manipulate his Ice element by Cyril. He later would shoot ice spikes to slow down or take out his foes faster. He learned his Ice Fury, where he at first would create a large swirling area of mist and at its second form, erupt many enormous ice spikes up high until they fall and freeze enemies, or just kill them. The fury would explode once its energy was used up.
 
The tornado has enough strength to suck up enemies and travel along with them until they can fall hard to the ground making a pancake shape, but the move's duration is limited. When engaging and channeling tremendous energies from the fury gems, the Earth Fury can be triggered. In its first form, the fury drops many massive boulders from the sky to inflict high damage to foes. In its second form, boulders fall but six tornadoes swirl around Spyro to immobilize and attack enemies from an appropriate vicinity.


In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Spyro gains an ability called Earth Shield which temporarily prevents his mana from depleting. He also gains the Earth Rocket, a chargeable projectile that passes through enemies.
In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Spyro can use Fury energy to use the Ice Shield ability, which freezes all enemies who touch it.

===''The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night''===
Spyro's Earth element was reawakened via his Earth dream, which it evolved within him to produce new results for his survival, like other elements. Spyro's Earth Shot was replaced with a stronger ''Earth Flail'', where he spits out a green chain that holds a sphere and has the trait to extend and glow in three different ways. If Spyro stays on the ground with it, he can halt enemies from coming near him, or within airborne, he can swirl longer and faster which is most likely recomended. In the attack that manipulates the sphere and earthy forces, Spyro can utilize his ''Earth Pound'' attack. [[File:Spyro_Earth_breath.JPG|thumb|Spyro using his Earth Breath]]


When using this attack, he backflips in the air then can body slam to the ground, inducing the sphere outwards while making earthquakes go out as well. This attack is more useful via Spyro's Time ability. You can also combine these two attacks by performing the Earth Pound move and just before he finishes press which ever button (varies from platform to platform) triggers the Earth Flail, causing Spyro to do two swift turns while using the Earth Flail. When utilizing the power of fury gems, Spyro unleashes his earth fury where he levitates (like other furies) and is swallowed by a central, vertical green line. He induces about several Earth Pound-based attacks adding towards a hard, unexcapable attack that most enemies cannot survive from. When he finishes the attack, dozens of green-energy leaves swirl and blow until all energy subsides, having Spyro fall to the ground when done.
===''[[The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night]]''===
Like other elements, Spyro re-obtained his ice element via his Ice Dream. With learning to understand how he could re-use it, he learned more potent abilities. With his Polar Bomb, Spyro would inhale pure, white ice energies to spit out a ball of snow which would freeze liquids to make temporary ice-made platforms, he could use it to freeze enemies and burnt surroundings like before. With Splintering Bomb and Piercing Bomb, the icy sphere would hurt enemies with misty shrapnel. By manipulating ice, Spyro would mimic his past situation with Ice King (using "his" attacks as an example for his inspiration this time) and create an Ice Tail attack which makes the reminiscing ice blade to swirl around him and take out large bits of health. By using fury energy, Spyro levitates and surrounds himself in a huge sphere of ice covered with many icicle blades he used normally, which he gets some swirls of dim blue mist around at the ground. Once he charges enough of an orbit, Spyro commands the sphere and 'ice blades' to explode outwards, taking out all enemies.


In the Game Boy Advance version, the Earth element is the second one unlocked instead of the third one, and it's useful for crowd control and to start and extend combos. Spyro can spit a stone that falls to the ground in an arc, causing rock pillars to appear and hit enemies up to a certain range. At level 2, the rock pillars have more range, and at level 3, they cover him from both sides.
In the Gameboy Advance version of ''The Eternal Night'', Spyro can fire a ball of ice that freezes water, like the console versions, and slow down enemies. When powered up to level 2, it has a chance to freeze enemies, which increases at level 3.

===''The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon''===
===''[[The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon]]''===
Due to his abilities being dormant and reawakened like before, Spyro's abilities become more powerful and gain new types of attacks. This time, Spyro lost his Earth Fury along with others, but in exchange for becoming slightly weaker, he has Earth Boulder where he can roll along the ground in a hard, tough cage.
Once Spyro had all his elements awakened, he could utilize his past Ice spikes but now he could execute Snow Storm where he spins in a icy vortex. His Snow Storm could shoot out ice spikes in every angle while using the twister attack, similar to the previous Ice Fury and he could improve his speed with it. However, during a battle with Malefor by using any magic-exclusive attack on him, Spyro's Ice abilities will create a wide frost cloud for a short period of time.
 
He can charge it up and alter its appearance but retain its physical strength. If you charge up the attack, Spyro will hurl after an enemy or if he wants more useful results, come up and cling to a ledge with Cynder to reach up higher than with other abilities. After Spyro jumps in his earth boulder and hits the ground, an earthquake pulse throws all enemies into the air. This attack is called Armored Boulder. By manipulating his inner earth, Spyro can spit out his Earth Missile which is a rock-like projectile capable of damage in par with Ice Spikes. You can charge up its attack damage and have a small green orb formed on his mouth, signalling the attack charge is finished. When the missile is released, it will split into four miniature earth missiles each capable of high damage, if you look for many ways to use this attack against enemies.

This article is about the element from The Legend of Spyro series. For the breath attack from the original series, see Ice Breath.

The Ice Temple Banner
“The power of ice also moves through you, just as the chilled winds whip through your wings. Let it... expand!”
The Chronicler, The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

Ice is also one of the main elements Spyro uses in the Legend of Spyro series. The element of Ice is good for trapping enemies so you can melee them, and it works well with Spyro's Dragon Time ability. Cyril is the Ice Dragon Guardian.

History

Ice is a weapon of great contrasts and a tool of many uses. For the mightiest of Ice Dragons, it can slow the approach of an advancing army, or provide drinking water to a thirsty village. To harness the abilities of Ice, a Dragon must first learn to understand the nature of water and embrace a cruel resolve deep within themselves, for only then can ice be produced. Moisture is drawn in from the air and, in dire emergencies, from the Dragon's own body. In combat, it is plausible that a master of Ice could increase their defenses by magically covering parts of their body in magically projected pack ice, or when on the offensive, adorn themselves with impressive projections of needle sharp ice. It is the tool of the true survivalist.[1]

Spyro breathing Ice

In an unusual situation, Spyro and Sparx came towards a pathway in Tall Plains, where they noticed Kane fall from a waterfall during an encounter with Rubble Brutes. Seeing Kane in mortal danger, Spyro's ice abilities were awakened, allowing him blow out a stream of ice to make a large, glacier formation on the river to prevent Kane from falling to his death off the very edge of Tall Plains.[2] Sparx was dumfounded by his abilities and Spyro agreed with it too. However, when utilizing this new trait known as Ice Stream, Spyro took it until he learned how to manipulate his Ice element by Cyril. He later would shoot ice spikes to slow down or take out his foes faster. He learned his Ice Fury, where he at first would create a large swirling area of mist and at its second form, erupt many enormous ice spikes up high until they fall and freeze enemies, or just kill them. The fury would explode once its energy was used up.

In the Nintendo DS version of the game, Spyro can use Fury energy to use the Ice Shield ability, which freezes all enemies who touch it.
