Fire
Fire breath is one of Spyro's two main attacks, the other being charging. This is the only breath attack he has until Enter the Dragonfly and onwards (with the exception of in Frozen Altars in Spyro: Year of the Dragon, allowing him to use Ice), when other breath types are introduced such as Ice, Electricity, and Bubble.
Spyro's fire breath can be used to defeat enemies and destroy containers, but it does not work on fireproof metal. This breath is also sometimes used to light objects on fire, such as the flame-powered machinery in Breezebuilders.
In the all Original, Reignited, and GBA Spyro trilogies, Spyro breath 5 arrow-shaped fire bursts, however, From Enter the Dragonfly and onwards, Spyro learned how to breath a stream of fire. Certain levels in Spyro: Season of Ice and Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy (and the picture above) 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, Superflame is granted by the kiss of a fairy, but in later games it is usually achieved by walking through Powerup Gates. 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.
In A Hero's Tail, special fire breath projectiles can be purchased from Moneybags' shops.
Trivia
- Breathing fire is one of the most prevalent features of dragons in Western folklore.
