I figured out why Cynder doesn't have back spikes

It has to do with egg-laying.
I think that's all I can say here.

Why should she have had black spikes anyway? I think I'm missing something.

JazzJackrabbit · May 09, 2012 6:09 PM

I assume you know how babies are made.
Having spikes down her back would be rather dangerous.
I think it's best I don't explain more than that.

Stormy · May 09, 2012 6:12 PM

No, I got that. tongue What I was asking was, assuming that wasn't an issue, why should Cynder have had black spikes? Where did this idea come from, in other words?

Not BLACK spikes. BACK spikes. Spyro has them down his spine.

Oh. Well, my terrible reading aside, I think I would have still been confused by back spikes. I forgot that TLoS Spyro has those.

Eh I don't really like her attitude in DOTD, her design throughout the series is cool but the way she acted when Ignitus died is like "Oh he's dead who gives."

Good lord did you really need to point this out.

i was wondering about the creation of this thread, myself.

also, this is a children's game. O.o guarantee you that's not why they designed her that way.

Maybe it contained more visual apeal... always a chance that that is why. In any event your argument could also support that idea that she should have had them. Females in nature always need defence against possible males, and back spikes would give a female more of that.

^Probably that.

but what about (i can't believe i'm talking about this on a children's forum) what about when there is a male from whom she doesn't want defense? i think her horns would be better in defense issues. potentially intrusive, but not necessarily.

This is getting into... sketchy territory here, so I'm going to lock this one up for now.
