Abilities
In the original series, Spyro's main attacks consist of ramming his opponents with his long horns or breathing fire at them. In later games, power-ups appear that let Spyro do much more powerful things like flying, spitting fire balls, and breathing ice. In every game past Spyro 2: Season of Flame, Spyro is able to breathe fire and ice, with power-up gates letting him breath super fire, ice and lightning. In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly he is able to breathe fire, bubble, lightning and ice. In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, he is able to breathe fire, water, ice, and lightning.
In the Legend of Spyro series, Spyro controls the elements of Fire, Electricity, Ice, and Earth.
In the Skylanders series, Spyro has the ability to control all of the elements of the world of Skylands, but he prefers to master his original favorite - fire. On some occasions, he can also harness the powers of darkness to become his dark alter ego, Dark Spyro, but this process always leaves him at risk of being consumed by the darkness.

Famous quotes containing the word abilities:
“The art of using moderate abilities to good advantage is a way of stealing the esteem of others, and often brings a man into greater reputation than does real merit.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“We should spend less time ranking children and more time helping them to identify their natural competencies and gifts and cultivate these. There are hundreds and hundreds of ways to succeed and many, many different abilities that will help you get there.”
—Howard Gardner (20th century)
“A child is born with the potential ability to learn Chinese or Swahili, play a kazoo, climb a tree, make a strudel or a birdhouse, take pleasure in finding the coordinates of a star. Genetic inheritance determines a child’s abilities and weaknesses. But those who raise a child call forth from that matrix the traits and talents they consider important.”
—Emilie Buchwald (20th century)
