Trivia
- Wind is notable among Cynder's elemental powers for lacking the dark and sinister connotations of her other abilities, Poison, Fear, and Shadow. This is because Wind is one of the natural elements of The Legend of Spyro universe, compared to the uncommon dark abilities of Poison, Fear, and Shadow.[1]
- Despite Hunter urging Spyro to open the door to the exit to the Catacombs, it is Cynder who is the only one who can open the door by using her Cyclone breath to blow into the horn in order to open the doorway.
- Wind was originally conceived as being Cynder's true element during game development.[1]
- According to lead concept artist Jared Pullen, the wind element came from an entity of light that created the other elements (Fire, Electricity, Ice, Earth and Water).[1]
- While Cynder's other Elemental Breaths can be mirrored to Spyro's (Fire and Poison both deal damage over time, Earth and Shadow are both physical forms of attack, and Electricity and Fear both stun enemies), Wind and Ice have next to nothing in common, save that both of them prioritise utility and support, with Wind being capable of enemy position control, and Ice being capable of freezing enemies solid.
- The secondary attacks of the two elements also involve the user spinning in a vortex manner to damage enemies.
