Spyro's fire breath can be used to defeat enemies and destroy containers, but it does not work on [[Fireproof Metal|fireproof metal]]. This breath is also sometimes used to light objects on fire, such as the flame-powered machinery in [[Breezebuilder]]s.

In the original and Nintendo GameBoy Advance ''Spyro'' trilogies, Spyro breathes five arrow-shaped bursts of fire at once. However, from ''Enter the Dragonfly'' and onwards, Spyro learned how to blow a constant stream of fire. Certain levels in ''Spyro: Season of Ice'' and ''Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy'' depict Spyro breathing fireballs.

Fire breath can usually be upgraded to [[superflame]], a more powerful version that can even destroy fireproof metal. In the original ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]'', Superflame is granted by the kiss of a [[fairy]], but in later games, it is usually achieved by walking through [[Powerup Gate]]s. In ''Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs, ''after consuming a pepper in the Banana Sabanna, Spyro permanently gains the ability to use the Superflame by charging his normal fire breath.

Overview

Both games have a temporary power-up named Superflame, a stronger variation of the Flame ability.

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly

Spyro could acquire different types of breaths along his journey, but his Flame Breath remains his standard one.

Spyro 2: Season of Flame

Spyro and the dragons lost their ability to breathe fire when the Rhynocs stole the fireflies from the Dragon Realms. Because of this, Spyro can only breathe ice during the start of the game. He goes on a journey to recover the missing fireflies. In the first stage, Country Farms, Bianca uses a magic spell to grant Spyro his flame breath back, although Spyro still retains his ice-breathing ability and can willingly alternate between it and his flame breath throughout his journey.
