Poison

The Poison symbol

Poison is an element acquired by Cynder in The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon. It is one of the uncommon elements bestowed upon her due to her exposure to Malefor's dark magic.

Symbol

The symbol of Poison looks like three bright, sickly green droplets, the largest in the middle, close to the right, the others next to it on opposite sides. If Cynder spits poison at her enemies, they will not die immediately but will die the second time a dragon attacks it. If an enemy is near another enemy when poisoned, the enemy next to it will become poisoned and, like the other one, sure to die the next hit. (Note: The vulnerability does not increase on bosses or Elite Enemies).

Abilities

With the Poison element, Cynder can spit out globs of lethal vemon. She can also coat the sharpest parts of her body, such as her tail blade, with the element to inflict poison.

Trivia

• 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 and Wind).
• Poison's use as a basic attack that deals damage over time is similar to Spyro's Fire breath.
• The concept of Poison is very simple and the main attack is identical to how a snake spits a glob of acidic liquid/Venom. However, Cynder can expand that trait to cover herself with the second attack.
