Dreadwings are enormous bat-like beasts that serve as enemies in two of The Legend of Spyro games, A New Beginning and The Eternal Night. These creatures, along with the Apes, served Cynder when she was corrupted. They also serve the Apes as flying mounts, as well as troop transports. Dreadwings sometimes carry containers, which holds a group of Apes, and drops them from the sky to release more ground soldiers to the area they are attacking in.

Species and Breeds

There are five different species and/or breeds of Dreadwings. They can be told by their different color types.

• In Dante's Freezer, the Dreadwings are blue with purple/blue wings with a white, brownish fur.
• In Tall Plains, the Dreadwings have a tropical appearance; having orange fur with yellow/orange wings, blue legs and a dark blue face.
• In Munitions Forge, the Dreadwings there are dark purple, as if matching the fiery environment around Boyzitbig, with purple wings, and lack legs and a dark purple face.
• In Concurrent Skies, the Dreadwings are have white, bluish fure, pinkish wings, and its body is black.
• There are the Mountain of Malefor Dreadwings that bombard the Skavengers' ship in The Eternal Night.

There is particular Dreadwing that is ridden by the Assassin. It is the only one of its kind to play a notable character.

Dreadwings are somewhat similar to the mammalian beasts, Scurvywings, which are shown in The Eternal Night.

Attacks

Dreadwings attack by swiping, biting, and by screaming, sending loud soundwaves toward Spyro that cause him to roll backwards. Only the Assassin's Dreadwing is seen shooting dark fireballs in The Eternal Night.
