Spyro's Breath Attacks

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon is very different from the The Eternal Night and A New Beginning. First of all, you get to play as either Spyro or Cynder. You can switch between them in single-player mode throughout the game, too!  A dragon's teeth and claws can be effective weapons in their own rights, but what makes a dragon such a powerful warrior is their ability to harness the elements into lethal breath attacks. Spyro and Cynder also have their own unique sets of elemental breath attacks. 

In  A New Beginning, the dragon Guardians bestowed upon Spyro control over the elements of fire, electricity, ice, and earth. Each of these elements has its own primary and secondary attacks.

Primary Attacks
Dragon Fire: Allows you to breathe Dragon Fire that burns your target.
Ice Spikes: Shoots Ice Spikes that damage your target.
Earth Boulder: Transforms Spyro into a boulder when the primary attack button is held down.
Lightning Bolt: Unleashes a Lightning Bolt when the primary attack button is held down.

Secondary Attacks
Comet Dash: Surrounds Spyro in flames as he charges into his enemies
Snow Storm: Creates a Snow Storm that damages surrounding enemies
Earth Missile: Launches an Earth Missile at enemies in front of Spyro
Electric Sphere: Emits an Electric Sphere that stuns and damages surrounding enemies
      

Dragon Poem

Hello, followers. I recently wrote a poem about dragons and how humans perceive them. Check it out!
It's called "Creatures of Legend". 

"Creatures of Legend"

Dragons have been told of in tales for years
As creatures of darkness, creatures of fears
For centuries, we've portrayed them as dark and evil
But what is actually true of these creatures medieval?

Dragons are creatures of mystery and wonder
Creatures that capture our attention like thunder.
In a sense, dragons are like wolves, just misunderstood
So it's possible that they are actually creatures of good.

Some dragons are more aggressive than others,
But they may also be social and live with their sisters or brothers.
But even though dragons' personalities vary
One thing's for certain: they're truly shy and wary

Should we keep perceiving dragons as creatures of evil
Or should we end this dreadful assumption primeval?
If dragons are anything like wildlife today, they're just trying to survive
So banish our former way of thinking and let good assumptions of dragons thrive.

Pet Dragons

Check this out, everyone! Looks like Hiccup and his friends from How To Train Your Dragon aren't the only ones with dragons as pets. Did you know there is a type of lizard you can keep as a pet called the Bearded Dragon? They're pretty cool pets, if you ask me. Here's a few neat  facts about them:

 Bearded Dragon lizards are native to Australia. They live in rocky and arid regions of the country and are adept climbers. Dragons have large, triangular heads and flat bodies with pointed ridges along the sides. They are omnivorous, eating both insects and plants.

Bearded Dragons make great pet lizards. They don't get too large, they eat a wide variety of foods, are active during the day, and are gentle animals. Bearded Dragons are captive-bred, have limited care requirements, readily available, and inexpensive. They can be a great addition to your family.

Dragon Species: Monstrous Nightmare

Description: No dragon is more ferocious, or feared than the Monstrous Nightmare. This gigantic dragon has a long, snakelike neck and tail, and is covered with red scales and long, sharp spines. The Nightmare's gigantic head and mouth can swallow Vikings whole. This dragon can attack any time of the day or night, from the air or on the ground. It is highly aggressive, and will never run away from a fight. Its fire is thick and sticky, clinging to walls and running down hills like a flaming river. The Nightmare also has a nasty habit of setting itself on fire.

Personality: Violent, stubborn, and tenacious. In battle, it is the first to arrive and the last to leave.

HAH! Factor: Has a tendency to spit fire at off times, unintentionally, like coughing, laughing and sneezing.

AHH! Factor: Its attack strategy is to coat itself in fire and attack you as it's flaming from nose to tail.

Dragon Species: The Gronckle

Description: One of the toughest dragons in the world is the Gronckle. Gronckles have gigantic heads, short bodies, and round tails. Gronckles are lazy, and spend most of their time sleeping in communal heaps. They have been known to fall asleep while flying, waking only when they crash into the ocean or the side of a mountain. Gronckles have relatively small wings that beat as fast as a hummingbird's. They are slow in the air, but they make up for this with their maneuverability. A Gronckle can fly backwards, sideways, and even hover. Gronckles attack from the air, where their primary weapons is most effective.  Gronckles chew rocks, melting them in their bellies, and firing them as balls of molten lava.

Personality: It is relentless, stubborn, and direct like a compact berserker rhino, yet very loyal to its rider.

HAH! Factor: Good luck waking up a Gronckle. They have been known to sleep through hail-storms.

AHH! Factor: Its tail expands like a ram and will give you a nasty bonk on the head if you make it mad.

Dragon Species: The Deadly Nadder

Description: One of the most beautiful dragons in the world is the Deadly Nadder. It is easily recongized by the bright blue body and brilliant yellow spikes that cover it from head to tail. This colorful dragon is active any time of the day or night. Nadders are quick and agile in the air, and can fly for long distances, but will almost always land before attacking. Nadders travel and raid in groups, making them especially dangerous. The Deadly Nadder isn't the largest or fastest dragon, but it possesses the hottest fire int he dragon world. The blast of the Nadder can melt steel or turn a man to ash in seconds. But the dangers of the Nadder don't stop there. The tail of the Nadder can be whipped around, releasing a volley of giant spikes that can penetrate trees, walls, and Vikings.

Personality: It is flightty, aggressive, and has a quick and explosive temper.  Its vanity is evident in the generous amount of time it spends preening itself.

HAH! Factor: If you stand right in front of a Nadder's nose, it won't be able to see you. Don't sneeze!

AHH! Factor: Without warning, the prickly Nadder can whip hundreds of sharp spines at you from its tail. Better play nice.

Fraxure and Deino

In case you haven't heard, there is a new generation of Pokemon out in two games called Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version. The dragon-type Pokemon in these games are pretty cool. Here are two of them. Check them out!

Name: Fraxure
Type: Dragon
Ability: Mold Breaker, Rivalry
Possible Moves: Dragon Tail,  Assurance, Dual Chop, Guillotine
Pokedex Description: Since a broken tusk will not grow back, they diligently sharpen their tusks on river rocks after they've been fighting.


 

















Name: Deino
Type: Dark/Dragon
Ability: Hustle
Possible Moves: Dragon Rush, Crunch, Dragon Pulse, Head Smash
Pokedex Description: It tends to bite everything, and it is not a picky eater. Approaching it carelessly is dangerous.

Dragon Species: Night Fury

Description: The rarest and most intelligent of the dragon species, the Night Fury is distinguished by its dark color and piercing yellow eyes, as well as its smaller size, heavy chest and short neck. Possessing the largest wing-to-body ratio of all dragons, it can fly higher, faster, and longer than any dragon, and its incredible power-to-weight ratio renders it capable of vertical takeoff. Its unconventional fire explodes its target on impact. Its signature attack mode is executed after sundown and from high altitude--enwrapped in its wings, it dives like a bullet, pulling up at the last moment to deliver one precise and explosive burst...then vanishing back into the darkness. The only warning is the ballistic noise the diving Night Fury makes. Its kamikaze attack, along with its cautious behavior and analytical mind, makes the Night Fury a devastating opponent with an extraordinary success rate. To date, no Night Fury has ever been brought down.

Personality: Reclusive, analytical, inventive, and the most intelligent of the known dragon species.

HAH! Factor: If a Night Fury eats something it doesn't like, stand back. Flaming food flies fast.

AHH! Factor: Using the night to hide its dark hide, it dive-bombs villages, ships, and armies virtually unseen.
