The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night - Cynder was originally set to breathe green fire

 According to Jared Pullen, the lead artist of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning and The Eternal Night, Cynder was originally going to breathe green fire. Evident of this is that there are texture files in the game that has has Cynder's name along with green fire. But they scrapped it when the color was too much like Terrador and the Earth elemental color.

Charles Zimbillas was Portrayed Negatively on Game Brain's Interview about Reignited

A youtuber named Game Brain did an interview with Spyro's original character designer, Charles Zembillas, on the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. But turns out Game Brain intentionally portrayed the interview in a different way than what was discussed and made Charles look like he's acting negatively.

Charles Zembillas Wrote:
"The thing I'm disappointed about the most is the way the interview was portrayed. I went into it with a very positive attitude. I made an emphatic point about how great I thought the look of Spyro is and the whole game as well. For some reason the interviewer took it into a direction that made the entire thing seem negative. It's no secret that I'm disappointed about what went on with Crash and Spyro and Jak and Daxter. But that wasn't the emphasis of the interview. I was contacted and asked about my opinion of the new Spyro and I gave it a glowing review based upon the trailer but he decided to focus on something else entirely. Really ruined the experience for me. I'm not inclined to listen to it and would rather just forget the whole thing."
