While just an egg, Cynder was stolen by the henchmen of an evil dragon named Malefor and raised to do his bidding. For years, she spread fear throughout the land until she was defeated by Spyro the Dragon and freed from the grip of Malefor. But dark powers still flow through her, and despite her desire to make amends for her past, most Skylanders try to keep a safe distance… just in case.
Cynder Series 2 is an undead Skylander appearing in Giants. She has two other variants: Cynder (Spyro's Adventure), and Phantom Cynder (Swap Force).
Cynder Series 2 was included in every version of the Giants Starter pack released. However, because she wasn't included in the Portal Owners pack, she was later released separately in Wave 3. She can still be found in stores today.
