{{Quote|Volts and Lightning!|Cynder|[[Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure]]}}
'''Cynder''' is one of the main playable [[Skylander|Skylanders]] in the ''[[Skylanders (franchise)|Skylanders]]'' franchise. She is a violet-scaled dragon under the [[Undead]] element.

==Biography==
While just an egg, Cynder was stolen by the henchmen of an evil dragon named [[Malefor (Skylanders)|Malefor]] and raised to do his bidding. For years, she spread fear throughout the land until she was defeated by [[Spyro (Skylanders)|Spyro the Dragon]] and freed from the grip of Malefor. But dark powers still flow through her, and despite her desire to make amends for her past, most Skylanders try to keep a safe distance...just in case.
