Dragon Time

"The purple dragon can wield many abilities that others cannot, including time itself. Learn to master this ability, and you would be able to see things almost before they happen. But... use this gift sparingly, only when circumstances demand. Manipulation of time is not to be done without the utmost care.." - The Chronicler, as he explains to Spyro's newfound use of Dragon Time, in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night.

Dragon Time is an element given to Spyro by the Chronicler, only used in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night. It allows him to slow down time and also helps him defeat enemies by giving Spyro more time to attack. It is one of many abilities the purple dragon of prophecy can wield.

The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night

Spyro first discovers the Dragon Time ability in the first dreamscape the Chronicler summoned him to to regain the young dragon's Fire element, and eventually learns to use it. When the Well of Souls collasped and trapped Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx inside, Spyro, in his most desperate moment, realized why he had been taught this ability of Dragon Time and why he had been summoned - to ride out the storm that was coming, and live to fight another day, and encased him, Cynder, and Sparx in crystal using a Time Fury to protect them from the collasping mountain.

Trivia

• It was confirmed by one of the producers of the Legend of Spyro trilogy that the Chronicler taught this ability to Spyro for the sole purpose of allowing him to survive the collapse of the Mountain of Malefor.
