No because Malefor seems older than Ignitus and other dragons trained him.

Spyro's design?
I think he looks old and ugly, my least favorite design - But I personally don't focus on looks.

Spyro is more like a beast in this game.

yeah and ya know how the eggs were all sort of on different shelvish kinda things? I always thought that that meant, like, they were brothers and sisters (on the particular shelves) and that spyro wasnt really related to any of the others
IMO

It can't be guaranteed they're siblings, but it can't be proven they aren't.
I doubt they are, however, because with that logic all those eggs were siblings and purple dragons. I always thought the eggs came from different dragons.

And cynder is definatly a light black in eternal night. So.. she only LOOKS dark purple cos of her change of design, (or just the light, cos in some cutscenes she looks more black than others)
