"Volts and Lightning!"

    -Cynder's official catchphrase

Cynder is a violet dragoness Skylander in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. She is of the Undead element.

BackgroundEdit

PersonalityEdit

Cynder was raised and trained under the control of the Undead Dragon King, Malefor, spreading fear throughout Skylands for years. After finally being defeated and freed from Malefor's control by Spyro, Cynder desires to redeem herself for all the things she had done while under Malefor's influence by using her dark powers to battle evil. Despite that however, she can still be a little menacing, causing most of the Skylanders to try and keep a safe distance from Cynder... just in case.

BiographyEdit

While just an egg, Cynder was stolen by the henchmen of an evil dragon named Malefor and raised to do his bidding. For years, she spread fear throughout the land until she was defeated by 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.

GameplayEdit

Due to her exposure to the darkness of Malefor's corruption, Cynder gained abilities that are related to the elements of Undead, such as breathing dark electricity and temporarily turning into her shadow form to dash past enemies, leaving behind a trail of ghostly allies in her wake that will harm her foes.

Being a dragon, Cynder also has the ability to fly using her wings.
