Dragon Kata is an ancient style of martial art in Spyro: Shadow Legacy. It is the only technique used to defeat the creatures of the Shadow Realm. Elder Sensei teaches it to Spyro in order to free him, along with the other elders, from the Shadow Realm. According to dialogue in Shadow Legacy, a Shadowstone is required in order to perform Dragon Kata. There are three types of Dragon Kata moves: Horn attacks, used for quick jabs, Tail attacks, used for greater strength and breaking armour, and Chi attacks, magical attacks that can break the shields of more powerful shadow enemies.
