They also have gaping mouths that can stretch to an enormous size, ideal for biting dragon-sized prey.[1]

Death Hounds attack with incredible speed, especially if their enemies are at a certain distance from them. They will rear up first to perform a fast tackle, giving Spyro the chance to jump and evade this attack. However, their tackles are significantly faster at the Mountain of Malefor, giving Spyro the need to react more quickly to avoid them or foil their tactics. Spyro's Dragon Time ability helps him against these enemies. If Spyro comes too close to them, they will slash at him with their sharp claws or bite him with their teeth.
