Cynder

      After being kidnapped while still an egg, Cynder was raised under the control of Malefor, an evil dragon known as the Dark Master. After all this, Malefor used his dark magic to transform Cynder into a monstrous black dragon with a personality that was truly horrible, who cared about nothing but reviving her master with the dark crystals.
     After Spyro freed her from Malefor's control, Cynder felt responsible for the suffering she'd caused everyone, especially Spyro. As time passed, however, Cynder realized that Spyro really cares about her, and started to care about him in the same way. Her friendship with Spyro eventually blossoms into true love due to his heartfelt understanding of her. Spyro also shows Cynder that it wasn't her error, and the young black dragon quickly takes on a more positive attitude, even admitting her love for Spyro.
      Despite her damsel-in-distress role in the first two games, Cynder is far from passive and demure and is indeed strong-willed. Like all heroines, Cynder is also cunning, intelligent, witty, resourceful, brave, spirited, independent, and not afraid to speak her mind. She still feels guilty about the things she'd done while under Malefor's control and seeks to find her own heroic destiny. No longer a pawn of the Dark Master, Cynder now fights as a hero alongside Spyro, hoping to redeem her past and save her future.
 

Spyro

Born in the Year of the Dragon, Spyro is a rare purple dragon prophesized to bring hope to the world. While all other dragons are capable of breathing only one particular element (such as fire or ice), the purple dragon is a rare breed that can harness all of the elements. Spyro is young and compassionate for others, and he is always willing to help them, no matter what happens. Spyro doesn't ask for rewards and is just happy to be a big help to those in danger. Adventurous, curious about his past, and eager to shape his future, he shows the recklessness of an adolescent at times, but he is slowly growing into his role as a leader of a proud species. He's a little naive about the ways of the world but eager to learn and grow.

 

Druddigon Drawing

Hi, followers. I thought you might want to see a Dragon-type Pokemon that I drew myself in Adobe Illustrator. So...here it is! This Pokemon's name is Druddigon. It's abilities are Rough Skin and Sheer Force. It can learn a variety of attacks, too, such as Dragon Claw, Night Slash, Chip Away, and Revenge. Pretty cool, isn't it?

Axew and Druddigon

More Famous Dragons: Toothless

Toothless is a Night Fury dragon in the movie How to Train Your Dragon. In the story, Hiccup is a young Viking who defies tradition when he befriends one of his deadliest foes: a ferocious dragon that he calls Toothless. Together, Hiccup and Toothless must overcome all odds in order to save both their worlds.

 

Famous Dragons

Spyro is a young purple dragon in a video game trilogy called The Legend of Spyro trilogy. However, there is also an older series featuring the character of Spyro called the Spyro the Dragon series.  I personally don't play the games in the Spyro the Dragon series myself. I like The Legend of Spyro trilogy better, because it has a storyline that is easy to comprehend.

 









    

Young Spyro










Adolescent Spyro

Along the way, they will discover allies in odd places, courage they didn't know they had, and a hidden destiny that changes everything.

 

New Legendary Dragon Pokemon

These are the two new Legendary Dragon-Type Pokemon from Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version--Reshiram from Black Version and Zekrom from White Version. Check them out!

Komodo Dragons

The Komodo Dragon is a real-life dragon. Although they're not fire-breathers like our favorite mythical creatures, they have their own amazing defensive and offensive abilities. Here are a few facts about them.

Komodo Dragons are the biggest lizards on earth. They usually weigh up to 150 pounds,     although captive specimens often weigh more. The largest specimen weighed at least 370 pounds! (That is one danged big lizard!)

Komodo Dragons have septic pathogens in their saliva (in other words, the bacteria in a Komodo Dragon's mouth is pretty darned deadly). However, while these pathogens can be found in the mouths of wild Komodo Dragons, they disappear from the mouths of captive Komodos due to a cleaner diet and the use of antibiotics. (Also, I bet most of you didn't know that the same bacteria in their mouths is also found in their scales. In other words, a single blow to the skin by a Komodo dragon's powerful tail can also be fatal.)

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.
