Spyro breathing fire

Fire is the main weapon of Spyro, the other being charging. He is only capable of these two forms of attack until later in the series when other breath types are introduced such as ice, electricity and bubble.

The Evolution of Fire Breath

Original Spyro

Throughout the series, Spyro has been armed with the power to breath fire. This typical dragon ability has evolved over time to include mastery of other elements. These are Ice, Electricity, Earth, Bubble and Water. However, it was not until the Legend of Spyro series that the Fire Breath developed different abilities.

The Legend of Spyro

In The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, the series was re-imagined to allow primary and secondary elemental abilities. Fire was the basic breath, which became more powerful as it was upgraded. The secondary attack was the ability to hurl fire bombs that arched forward and exploded upon impact.

In The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night, the primary fire breath could be upgraded to launch homing fire missiles along with the breath, whilst the secondary attack was the Comet Dash, a headlong rush and strike with fire.

In The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon, Spyro's Fire breath is much more stronger and his secondary attack retains the Comet Dash from The Eternal Night, a flaming, ramming attack unlocked by upgrading the fire element.

Skylanders

In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Spyro's primary attack is Fire Breath, which is similar to Classic Spyro's Flame attack.
