Spyro breathing ice

Ice Breath is one of the elemental breaths that Spyro can gain. It is first obtained in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! while in Cloud Temples as a power-up after defeating 21 enemies, where it is needed to complete a challenge. It is also granted temporarily by an Ice Fairy while in Frozen Altars, in Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

Ice Breath later became one of Spyro's main breath attacks in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, and reappeared in Spyro 2: Season of Flame, Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs and Spyro: A Hero's Tail.

Usage

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly

In this game, Spyro's Ice Breath only freezes enemies. It leaves them vulnerable for a few seconds. After freezing them, he must charge or use another breath to finish them off. In the Dragon Realms, it is used to open a gate to collect the rest of the gems, save the rest of the baby dragonflies there, and it allows Spyro to gain access to three new levels to explore.

The rune for the Ice Breath is found in the level, Cloud 9.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

In A Hero's Tail, the ability to breath ice is granted to Spyro after he defeated Red for the first time. Ice breath allows Spyro to freeze steam, turning it into an icicle that he can swing on when platforming. In combat, ice breath will freeze enemies and Spyro can either charge or use an offensive breath type to kill the frozen enemies. Killing armored gnorcs this way will remove the necessity of armor and also allows Spyro to defeat enemies that require electric breath must faster. Alongside Flame, ice breath is one of the two short-ranged breath types.

Ice breath (or alternatively, electric breath) is required to kill the robot Gnorcs.

Spyro: Shadow Legacy

After defeating the Ice Minion, Spyro gains his ice powers that can be taught by Astor.
