Relationships
Cynder
Before her betrayal of his expectations, Malefor allowed his daughter to have fun texting or in malls and treated her to Taco Nights. However, after she decided to join the side of good, he announced she would be treated as an enemy, though he still sought out to kidnap her and bring her back to evil.
Spyro
The Dragon King was greatly insulted by Spyro's audacity at every turn and responds with greater violence during their battles, as well as holding the grudge from his encounters with his Purple Dragon ancestors to recent days.
Trivia
- Malefor's show design is a combination of his Legend of Spyro and the Skylanders Comics designs, plus a constant effect of lava in his insides and the sides of his neck.
- His horns have dull, insaturated colors; and his chin spikes are the same color as his scales, like in Legend of Spyro.
- He has the bracelets and tail spike from his Skylanders appearance.
- In Touch of Evil, he briefly references his cover pose in the second issue of Return of the Dragon King, holding Spyro against his face.
- Though Malefor's original voice actor, Mark Hamill, was considered, the actor was involved in the shooting of Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi at the time of recording.[1]
