* FinalBoss: In every game [[spoiler:except ''[=SuperChargers=]''.]] Usually he has some gimmick related to the story to go along with his fight, too. He usually doesn’t play this role in the 3DS games, where a different villain appears, but he does in ''[=SuperChargers=]'' where he hijacks Pandergast’s airship in the final event to attack the Skylanders.

** In ''Swap Force'', [[spoiler:the second phase against Super Evil Kaos has him putting the Skylander in his mouth where his only attack is to slam his teeth to create shockwaves.]] So he throws in Chompy Rustbuds and Gear Golems to do the fighting for him.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: In ''Trap Team''. He has some of the most powerful attacks among all the villains and even Skylanders, including one that refills his cooldown timer. And he is also the final villain that can be trappable in the story mode, if counting away the Adventure Packs. But he is at least guaranteed to be useful in the Doom Challenges and the final Arena missions.

* EasilyForgiven: [[spoiler: At the end of ''[=SuperChargers=]'' after the Darkness is beaten, after all that Kaos did that helped it grow into the monster it became, he is allowed to stay at Skylander Academy until he can get his powers back.]]
* EnemyMine: After the Doom Raiders ditch him, Kaos decides to team up with his mortal enemies, the Skylanders to take them down.

* MasterOfAll: In ''Trap Team'' as a trappable villain, he has an attack that allows him to shuffle through the eight original elements (as Light and Dark are locked until a Skylander or Trap of those elements are placed on the portal), with all having their own attacks:

* HiddenDepths: It turns out as a kid he created the Wilikins because he had no friends. It's heavily implied while he eventually left them, Kaos genuinely cares about them and created the dimension shifters explicitly to protect them from his mom. While he never interacts with them, the fact they live right next door to his castle and he never harms them implies he does genuinely care about them.

** While he believes it is his destiny to rule Skylands, he doesn't want to know how he will accomplish it even if he was given the chance, because he prefers to surprise himself with what evil plot he comes up with next.

Added DiffLines:

* RottenRockAndRoll: The kind of music most associated with Kaos is foreboding orchestral, mixed together with dubstep in ''Trap Team'' during his boss fight and villain theme. In that same game, Kaos has the final and hardest level for Skale-tones Showdown sub-game, and the genre he represents is rock.


Added DiffLines:

* ShipperOnDeck: If he's talked to in the hub world after chapter 16 in ''Trap Team'', he says that he finds Flynn and Cali to make a cute couple, followed up by saying that he hates cute couples.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousLineage: Ermit says in ''Giants'' that Kaos is part of the Kaos clan, a group of sorcerers who terrorized Skylands years ago, and in the very next game, we meet his mother, who is shown to be as evil as her son is. This does however contrast with the backstory he's given in ''Machine of Doom'' that plays into what a Story Scroll in ''Spyro's Adventure'' established about him, where he grew up as a prince, but was TheUnfavorite to his much more loved and handsome brothers, which made him leave his family to make it on his own.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite being an {{Expy}} of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', he manages to destroy the Core of Light and defeat the Skylanders in his ''first on-screen appearance''. If the Skylanders hadn't just so happened to land on a world were a Portal Master lived, he'd have ''won''. In fact, [[spoiler:he ''[[TeamRocketWins actually wins]]'' [[DownerBeginning at the start]] of ''[=SuperChargers=]'', becoming the Emperor of Skylands and unleashing The Darkness]].

In general, as silly and comical as he can be, Kaos is the BigBad for a ''reason''.


Added DiffLines:

* TheChessmaster: Kaos might seem foolish and dimwitted, but when he ''tries'', he can be frighteningly intelligent with his planning when he really tries. Best shown in the ''IDW'' comics, where he manages to enact a complex plan to both escape his imprisonment, steal the last shard of the Darkness, and get away before the Skylanders even realize he was doing anything. He then spends the next few months in hiding, building the Sky Eater and a massive army, even training EliteMooks.

Added DiffLines:

* ForeheadOfDoom: He has a big forehead to show off the magical emblem on it. Surprisingly for someone like [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom him]], Kaos never calls it this trope.


Added DiffLines:

* HatedByAll: With the exception of Glumshanks and his mother ([[spoiler:who is trapped in a mirror prison currently]]), just about everyone in Skylands either hates Kaos or wants nothing to do with him. This also extends to other villains like the Doom Raiders, who while thankful to him for freeing them, [[EvilIsNotAToy aren't automatically willing to work for him just because he did that]]. And his dynamic with Brain shows how easy it is for Kaos to himself [[spoiler:make his allies want to turn on him because of his harsh tongue, low temperance, and incompetence]].


Added DiffLines:

* PragmaticVillainy: He joins forces with the Skylanders to give them a helping hand in taking down the Doom Raiders in ''Trap Team''. Already from that, he's doing it for a selfish and villainous motive, which is to defeat the Raiders out of revenge for them dumping him, and so that he doesn't have any real competition in taking over Skylands. [[spoiler:And when all the Doom Raiders has been captured, Kaos unsurprsingly betrays the Skylanders so he can take control of the Ultimate Weapon.]]

Added DiffLines:

* MyBelovedMinions: Subverted in ''Spyro's Adventure''. After you've beaten all three of his evil versions of Water Skylanders, he reacts with concern over his minions being beaten, which makes it seem like he values them, as well as the other evil Skylanders you'll be fighting later on. [[spoiler:But during the final battle, he shown to not value them at all as when one group of them fails in defeating the player Skylander, Kaos kills them and [[WeHaveReserves use their XP to power up the next group]].]]

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:He is sent to Earth at the end of ''Spyro’s Adventure“&#322''; [[LaserGuidedKarma and similarly to what he did to the Skylanders]], he becomes a toy with him being alive on the inside. The start of ''Giants'' shows him managing to return to normal and returning to Skylands.]]

* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: He loves using the words "[[DoomyDoomsOfDoom doom]]", "ultimate" and "evil" so much that he sometimes uses them all more than once in one sentence. The biggest example arguably comeing from ''[=SuperChargers=]'' where he nicknames the Sky Eater "The Doomstation of Ultimate Doomstruction".r

* VillainsWantMercy: At the end of ''Spyro’s Adventure'' when [[spoiler:he’s about to be banished again]], he suggests that he and the heroes split Skylands between light and darkness. As expected, his enemies doesn't want to bargain.

* CoolCrown: Wears one in Superchargers. [[spoiler:After the game is beaten, you can win it from him if you beat him in Skystones Overdrive.]]
* CreativeSterility: In Imaginators, Kaos have trouble creating effective Doomlanders thus showing his lack of imagination. He never put any thought into his Doomlanders' personality or purpose other than being the ultimate "bad guy". This heavily contrast with the Imaginators, whom were given more characteristics and a purpose outside of being more than just "Skylanders".
