Shadow
From the Spyro Wiki, the Spyro and Skylanders encyclopedia
Shadow is an element acquired by Cynder in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon.
Symbol
The symbol of Shadow has two different designs: in the console versions, it looks like a dark yin-yang symbol of black above dark violet, while in the Nintendo DS version, it looks like a purple hand with a dark purple background.
Attacks
Primary Shadow
- Shadow Strike: Cynder can unleash her shadow element by diving into her own shadow and strike out from the darkness with shadow empowered claws. Shadow strike can also help Cynder get through purple doors.
- Deadly Shadow Strike
- Sinister Shadow Strike
Secondary Shadow
- Shadow Fire: Cynder can unleash her shadow element by breathing a dark shadow fire to suffocate foes.
- Suffocating Shadow Fire
- Asphyxiating Shadow Fire
Effects
Both Shadow Strike and Shadow Fire will leave portions of the shadow magic coating the eyes of enemies struck by them. Under the influence of the shadow magic, opponents will attack their allies and not Cynder for a short while.

Trivia
- When attacking Malefor with Shadow Fire, the breath ignites with fire as if Malefor was being hit with Spyro's Dragon Fire, making this a character gameplay error.
- According to lead concept artist Jared Pullen, dragons of the Poison, Shadow and Fear elements exist, but the elements come from a different, darker entity instead of the light entity that created the other elements (Fire, Electricity, Ice, Earth, Water and Wind).[1]
- The Shadow Dash ability later reappeared in the Skylanders franchise, as one of Cynder's two standard abilities under the Undead element. Shadow Dash involves her turning into a shadow to dash past enemies, leaving behind a trail of ghosts that cause damage. As Series 3 Phantom Cynder, while performing her Shadow Dash attack, Cynder can morph into a giant skull that explodes on release.
