In DotD when Spyro and Cynder were in the Catacombs, the Chronicler said Spyro was a rare purple dragon and could master more than one element and he said to Cynder that by being corrupted she was able to master more than one element as well.

Uh, Cynder only learned 4 elements because she was corrupted by Malefor... She was likely going to be a wind dragon because her other elements dark.

@CYNDERROXS

@Brokensoul
No. Cynder could in the beginning learn two elements, but the darkness gived her two other elements.

@camo19
um... no. not ALL dragons born in the temple were purple, cos a purple dragon is only born every ten generations. that's why ignitus chose only spyro to save; he knew it was his "destiny" to save the world. cynder is a rare black dragon, who can also learn four elements, just a bit different from the ones other dragons have.
...sorry for long comment '

spyro and cynder were born from the same group of eggs.so dosnt that mean that cynder was originally a purple dragon until malfor corrupted her?

Thank god! That was gonna ruin everything if spyro and cynder were for real siblings. I knew their love was meant to be! Could you imagine how gross it would be if they were? Although, either way, siblings or not they're perfect for each other, as far as I can see smilie

GREAT DRAWINGS LIAM! smilie

@Beautiful Heart Spyro and Cynder are not siblings or something like that, they're just born in the temple like all the other dragons. They are all put there for protection of all thinkable enemies. They're not safe enough with their parents. smilie
