The Frozen Altars is a realm in the Evening Lake world, whose portal is accessible by swimming. At the time Spyro was in the Forgotten Worlds looking for the Dragon Eggs, the Penguins of Frozen Altars had been tricked by the Sorceress into constructing several large snowmen, which had come to life. Desperate for a solution, they bought a laser defense system from Moneybags, but were unable to use it due to their flippers. When Spyro arrived, he managed to defeat the snowmen for good. To help defeat the snowmen, special ice fairies temporarily granted Spyro the ability to breathe ice as opposed to fire as long as he roams Frozen Altars.
