Cynder was't Purple cause there is only ONE purple dragon. Malfor went evil so Spyro was born, but Cynder is BLACK

This Spyro game is the best on I've ever played since 1998. I like the bit when you can fly at any time and have two players.

This game I have to say was my favorite, I like playing as Cynder. Her attacks can be very powerful and useful. Spyro is also very powerful. I love the Spyro world!!!
