Holy crap! Spyro's been workin' out! I bet Terrador took him to a training facility the Earth Guardian had been frequenting to bulk up and stay in fighting shape.
I'd love to see anyone try to take on Spyro like that, especially since he's now a giant hulking behemoth of a Purple Dragon, much more so than Malefor was.
I wonder if Spyro has learned not only Poison (like Cynder, inflicting Poison to do damage over time), Fear (like Cynder, stunlocking enemies by paralyzing/disorienting/intimidating them with fear), Shadow (like Cynder, using it to slip through dark gates and also brainwash/hypnotize/mind control enemies into fighting each other), and Wind (like Cynder, blowing and generating wind, also similarly from Attack of the Rhynocs to generate tornadoes, and also provide propulsion on ice rafts on the water in areas with freezing/predator-infested/hazardous waters, and may put out fires), but also Water (like from A Hero's Tail, which may be harmless to most enemies except fire elementals and possibly lightning elementals, may eventually do more damage with increased water pressure and temperatures, also useful for putting out fires and short-circuiting robotic enemies who aren't waterproofed), Bubble (like from Enter the Dragonfly which is used for catching dragonflies at first but can eventually ensnare enemies and fodder), and Energy (from Ripto's Rage, during the first two phases against Ripto in his arena in Winter Tundra, lobbing grenades of pure energy, the power beyond all human knowledge).
