History Characters / CodexEquusFourthAgeVillains

* ArcVillain: Serves as one with Xestobium and Apterus, the third of the 'Changeling/Dragon Trilogy'

[[folder:Princess Apterus, the Accursed Child]]

* {{Expy}}: Of Gaul from ''The Legend Of Spyro''.

* {{Archenemy}}: Striga is responsible for several Skylanders' misfortunes due to her curses, including Sir Combustor, who she cursed to be a fire elemental bound to a suit of armor, and Gale Wings, who she cursed the children of to a never ending cycle of rebirth.

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Havok views Skylands as ''his'' to conquer and rule, and thus the Skylanders as ''his'' to defeat. As such he will foil the plans of other villains or form an EnemyMine with the Skylanders rather than let another villain conquer the former or defeat the latter.

** When Wingsaber's Doomlander, Galecutter, turned out to be an AxCrazy KnifeNut and very nearly killed her, Havok was horrified and dispelled Galecutter before she could.
* EvilGenius: No matter how silly Havok appears, he's shockingly intelligent and competent to the point of managing to outsmart a ''Changeling King of the Summer Court.''

* AdaptationalHeroism: The Sky Eater literally eating the sky wasn't part of his plan in this version, rather it was only supposed to shut down Skylands' portal network. He just called it the Sky Eater because it sounded cool. It was the Darkness tricking him into giving it the power to escape its prison. Some of his more vile actions in certain characters' backstories are also removed, due to his backstory being the Skylanders Academy version rather than his game version.

* TheDreaded: Severed Strings is this by virtue of being a SkinWalker, which are nigh universally feared for being extremely evil, monstrous supernatural horrors.

* MeaningfulName: They're named after the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Striga Striga plant]], commonly known as "witchweed". [[spoiler:Witchweeds are extremely devastating parasitic plants that are difficult to detect and can wipe out entire crops. The Striga Family specialize in transferring the souls of those who seek out their services into host bodies for personal use, while sending the spirits of the host bodies' original owners into the "Sunken Place" where they are [[AndIMustScream trapped and forced to watch for eternity]]. For bonus points, they are based on the Armitage Family from ''Film/GetOut'', though their methods in spiritual transference are different]].

[[folder:Striga Family]]

* {{Expy}}: Of the [[Film/GetOut2017 Armitage Family]]. Like the Armitage Family, the Striga Family [[spoiler:specialize in spiritual transference of souls into unwilling host bodies for personal use. As shown with young Glittering Coin, they can do this to give the sick and elderly a chance to live out their lives in newer, healthier host bodies at the expense of said host bodies' original owners]].

Pink Azalea (her entry [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Heroes-and-Villains-19-822504126 here]]) is a vengeful, villainous Breezie whose hatred of larger creatures and insidious actions would have devastated the world, had it not been for the intervention of Equestria's junior Princesses.
----
* FreudianExcuse: Her hatred of larger creatures comes from being captured by an insane butterfly collector that treated her poorly.

Valefor (profile [[https://www.deviantart.com/brutalityinc/art/Codex-Equestria-Deities-and-Divines-Part-65-904156163 here]]) is the ArchEnemy of Pyro II and Cinder I and one of Avalar's greatest evils... but also formerly one of its greatest heroes before his fall.

* AdaptationalHeroism: The Sky Eater literally eating the sky wasn't part of his plan in this version, rather it was only supposed to shut down Skylands' portal network. He just called it the Sky Eater because it sounded cool. It was the Darkness tricking him into giving it the power to escape its prison.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: He apparently has enough standards to be [[https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/909949548/5092874391 considered a client]] by the Corporatocracy of Scagnozzo (Inc.).

* PetTheDog: When Pyro III asks him to save Sonar's life (who's starving to death due to losing her ability to feed off emotions), after a moment's though, Havok saves her without asking anything in return. It's implied it was seeing her daughter Pulsar panicking and being reminded of his own love for his mother that prompted it.
