11The Air element is one of the eight original elements in ''Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure''. The Skylanders of this element are usually associated with wind and lightning or the weather in general, but some of them are Air simply because they’re known for flying or are bird-like.

38Whirlwind is half-dragon, half-unicorn; unfortunately, both races' jealousy makes her an outsider (the dragons covet her beauty, the unicorns envy her ability to fly). Nonetheless, when trolls hunted both species, she jumped to their defense. The result... well, let's just say that evil beings are now ''terrified'' of rainbows.
39
40She returns in the ''Giants'' toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander and in ''Swap Force'' as a Series 3 Skylander called '''Horn Blast Whirlwind'''. She has a mini version in ''Trap Team'' called '''Breeze'''.
41----
42* ActionGirl: There's a reason why evil beings are terrified of rainbows.
43* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Got this treatment from both of her species.
44* BadassAdorable: She's part unicorn, she shoots rainbows, she has feathery wings... even her giggles are adorable!
45* CombatMedic:
46** Her Soul Gem ability, “Rainbow of Healing” makes her rainbows able to heal her teammates. This is only available in multiplayer, however.
47** Many of her unique cards in ''Battlecast'' involve healing her team.
48** And finally, she was a Support type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'' before the game shut down. She doesn't have any abilities that can actually heal her or her teammates, however, instead having a passive ability of raising her resistance rate if her HP is over 90%.
49* TheDreaded: The trolls invoked Whirlwind's wrath by hunting both of the races she's descended from. The resulting RoaringRampageOfRescue was so great that she's now feared quite greatly by the forces of evil. Yes, [[KillerRabbit the dragon/unicorn hybrid who shoots rainbows]] (of [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom DOOM]]) from her horn is TheDreaded!
50* EverythingsBetterWithRainbows: Heck, even a ''black hole'' (the "Rainbow Singularity" upgrade) is better with rainbows! Her enemies call it the "Rainbow Of Doom"[[note]](yes, that is the official name)[[/note]] for a reason.
51* FantasticRacism: Justifiably, towards trolls, seeing as they attacked her dragon and unicorn brethren. Despite this, the image of her soul gem ability “Rainbow of Healing” has her healing Boomer, who is a troll.[[note]] It's very likely that for all her hate towards trolls, she sees Boomer as an exception due to a number of factors, such as him both being one of the only trolls to actually be on the side of good, [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch as well as sharing her dislike towards trolls]].[[/note]]
52* HalfBreedDiscrimination: Wasn't accepted by either species due to her hybrid nature. This did not stop her from going on a RoaringRampageOfRescue against the trolls for hunting them though.
53* HealingShiv: After acquiring her Soul Gem upgrade, Whirlwind's Rainbow of Doom doubles as a Rainbow of Healing in two-player co-op.
54* HybridMonster: She's a dragon/unicorn hybrid.
55* KillerRabbit: Is ''far'' more deadly than you'd expect from something that's half-unicorn and shoots rainbows.
56* MoodSwinger: She has the grace of a unicorn, and the fury of a dragon; but she's been trying to curb her temper since becoming a Skylander.
57* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Her unseen adventure in the Frostfest Mountain, which led to the Frost Elves erecting an immense golden statue of her that doubles as a handy storage platform for [[MacGuffin The Illuminator]].
58* RoaringRampageOfRescue: When the trolls started hunting the two races she's a hybrid of, she went on one of these that made her TheDreaded to evildoers.
59* ShockAndAwe: Whirlwind's secondary attack is a "tempest cloud" that electrocutes nearby enemies.
60* UnrealisticBlackHole: One of her strongest attacks involves creating a rainbow black hole to attack her enemies.
61* UselessUsefulSpell: Her Soul Gem ability allows her rainbows to heal her fellow Skylanders. This means however, that she won’t get any use out of it outside of two players mode.
62* WhiteMage: She alongside her mini counterpart Breeze are pretty much the closest the ''Skylanders'' series is gonna get to this archetype, being a CombatMedic in all games that has combat in them (console games, ''Battlecast'' and ''Ring of Heroes'', though Breeze doesn't appear in the latter two) and using the power of rainbows as their means of healing. In the console games, Whirlwind and Breeze are the only Skylanders who are capable of healing every Skylander[[note]]The only other Skylander that has the power of healing is Astroblast, but his only works on Life Skylanders[[/note]] compared to mobile games where other Skylanders also have healing abilities.
63* WingedUnicorn: Whirlwind is a half dragon, half unicorn, but for some reason has ''feathered'' wings instead of dragon ones, giving her the look of one of these.

72
73A gryphon who hoped to protect her hatchlings, but a wizard was able to find her and curse her eggs; the chicks would hatch, but return to being eggs within moments and hatch again in an endless cycle. Making the best of a bad situation, she taught her chicks how to fight when hatched, and joined the Skylanders to protect others from suffering this kind of evil.
74
75She returns in the ''Giants'' toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander.
76----
77* ActionGirl: She fits the bill.
78* ActionMom: She's even able to get an assist from her chicks.
79* AreaOfEffect: Her Roar attack does damage in an area in front of her. Even more so when supplemented by her "Siren Griffin" path upgrades and/or her Soul Gem ability.
80* CursedWithAwesome: She trained her cursed hatchlings to assist her in battle anytime she needs them with effectively no risk to them. Sure, it's probably not pleasant for her, but it's certainly helpful.
81* FusionDance: Sonic Boom's Wow Pow ability allows her to combine her hatchlings into one "Super Baby" with a much stronger bite.
82* InSeriesNickname: Terrafin frequently calls her "SB" in the book ''Terrafin Battles the Boom Brothers''.
83* OneHitPointWonder: Sonic Boom's hatchlings vanish in a puff of baby feathers the moment they take any damage, and the player must toss more eggs in order to summon them back.
84* OurGryphonsAreDifferent: Sonic Boom resembles an ''opinicus'', with her eagle's head and wings, but lion's tail, and four clawed legs. This also applies to her (normal) hatchlings; the Super Baby looks distinctly more dinosaur-like, with scrawny front arms and wings but a large head, back legs and long tail.
85* SplashDamage: Her "Echolocation" upgrade causes her sonic blasts to send out secondary shockwaves upon impact, which inflict additional damage.
86* SpreadShot: Her sonic breath already has a wide area of effect, but the "Medea Griffin" path of upgrades enables Sonic Boom to toss ''all'' of her eggs simultaneously, in a spread pattern.
87* SuperScream: Her primary attack is a blast of sonic energy.
88* WeaponizedOffspring: Her hatchlings can fight alongside her.

104
105He has a [=LightCore=] version of him in ''Swap Force''.
106----
107* EleventhHourRanger: In a meta sense, but only if you had followed the series since day one. Warnado alongside Wham-Shell and Camo were the three Skylanders that were released in the fifth and final wave of the toy lineup in ''Spyro's Adventure'', which would make them the last heroes to join the battle. This wouldn't be the case when Warnado returned in ''Swap Force'' as a [=LightCore=] figure, where it was released in [[InvertedTrope wave 1]].
108* BlowYouAway: His secondary attack is to launch a tornado that sucks up nearby enemies.
109* TheBusCameBack: After being the Air Skylander of ''Spyro's Adventure'' to not return in ''Giants'', he returns in ''Swap Force'' as a [=LightCore=].
110* InstantFlightJustAddSpinning: His Whirlwind Flight.
111* PlayerGuidedMissile: His "Guided Twister" upgrade is fully steerable.
112* PowerGlows: Lightcore Warnado's shell lights up.
113* SpectacularSpinning: His moveset runs on this trope. In fact, Warnado is so used to spinning that he only gets dizzy from standing still.
114* SpinAttack: Has one for his primary ability, and it is even called "Spin Attack".
115* UselessUsefulSkill: The first upgrade on his Wind Master path allows you to [[PlayerGuidedMissile control his tornados]]... which then becomes completely unnecessary when you buy the final upgrade, which upgrades the tornados to be able to [[HomingProjectile attack enemies on their own]].

125Lightning Rod once lived in the Cloud Kingdom, beloved for his heroic deeds and good looks. But it wasn't enough for him. He eventually met Spyro, whose stories of his adventures in faraway lands inspired him to seek out Eon and join the Skylanders.
126
127He returns in the ''Giants'' toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander.
128----
129* TheAce: He's considered the most macho and greatest of the Storm Giants.
130* AttackAttackAttack: He was an Attack type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'', both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
131* BigEater: According to the Official 2013 ''Skylanders'' Annual, Lightning Rod consumes an amount of food considered overboard for a human diet. 400 eggs for breakfast, 25 whole livestock for lunch, and several sheep for dinner, anyone?
132* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the main focus character in the tie-in novel "Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen".
133* DistressedDude: In Drobot’s Episode Dungeon in ''Ring of Heroes'', Lightning Rod gets kidnapped by Cyclops who wants him captured for allegedly destroying Cyclops City during the “Mask of Power” book series, prompting the Portal Master to lead a rescue team consisting of Drobot, Pop Fizz and Head Rush.
134* {{Expy}}: Bearded lightning-bolt-slinger? Talk about [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Zeus]].
135* FlyingOnACloud: His entire lower half is cloud.
136* FogFeet: As pointed out by Quigley in ''Spyro's Adventure''.
137--> '''Quigley''': You have a cloudy butt! Hahahaha!
138* {{Hunk}}: Particularly in-universe, where he's apparently nicknamed "Rod the Bod".
139* LovedByAll: His countless heroic deeds and appealing looks made him the most famous and beloved Storm Giant in the Cloud Kingdom. But that wasn't enough to satisfy him, as he wanted something more. So he joined the Skylanders after hearing about them from Spyro.
140* NoIndoorVoice: He never drops below a drawn out, ''echoing'' shout.
141* ShockAndAwe: He throws lightning bolts, summons thunderbolts from the sky, creates a electrical aura around him, gets aid from thunder clouds hovering around him, what more can be said?
142* SuperStrength: In “Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen”, he is able to punch a high-flying cannonball so hard that it ''cracks''.

159Jet-Vac was a daring flying ace from the land of Windham. Like all Sky Barons, he received a set of magical wings when he was young, but when Windham was attacked he gave them up to a young mother so she and her children could escape. Eon was moved by this story enough to seek Jet-Vac out and give him a vacuum device to replace his lost wings.
160
161He returns in the ''Swap Force'' toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander called '''Turbo Jet-Vac''' and in ''Trap Team'' as a Series 3 Skylander called '''Full Blast Jet-Vac'''. He has a [=LightCore=] version of him in ''Giants''. He has a mini version in ''Trap Team'' called '''Pet-Vac'''.
162
163In ''[=SuperChargers=]'', he comes in contact with a Rift Engine and gets promoted to a [=SuperCharger=] as '''Hurricane Jet-Vac'''.
164----
165* AcePilot: Well, he flies himself instead of needing a plane, but close enough. Fully qualifies as a ''Supercharger'', where he even gets his own AceCustom plane.
166* BirdPeople: His race, the Sky Barons, are this.
167* BlowYouAway: His vaccuum cannon also fires bullets of compressed air.
168* ButtMonkey: Courtesy of Eruptor, he spends the whole [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEwyp4XGBP4 "Just Like Swap-Force" trailer]] in pain.
169* ChargedAttack: One of Jet-Vac's upgrades enables him to fire a super shot every time he defeats an enemy by vaccuuming it up.
170* CombatMedic: He was a Support type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'', both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. His healing ability, after having charged up for one turn, heals one team member for 35% of their max health. It also raises the defense of every team member for three turns when charging begins. If he is the leader in the battle, his unique skill raises the effect resistance of every team member by 10% for the whole battle.
171* DoABarrelRoll: If you take Jet-Vac down the Vac-Packeteer upgrade path, one of the attacks you can purchase is the "Flying Corkscrew", which allows him to ''literally'' barrel roll while hovering in the air.
172* JetPack: Allows Jet-Vac to move quickly, but takes time to recharge. It can be recharged more quickly by using his vaccuum cannon.
173* MisterSeahorse: Although he's a male, Jet-Vac has laid an egg in every promotional trailer he appears in.
174* OneHitPolykill: His "Piercing Winds" upgrade allows his shots to hit multiple enemies.
175* PowerGlows: [=LightCore=] Jet-Vac's vaccuum cannon glows, as does a central jewel on his armor.
176* StarterMon: He is included in the starter pack for ''Giants'' except for the 3DS version.

194
195Pop Thorn hails from a race of creatures known as Pufferthorns. Often considered one of the cutest creatures in all of Skylands, they are generally quite timid and puff out sharp spines when scared. It is this ability that long ago led to the unfortunate legacy of being used as combs by giant trolls everywhere, being the sharp spines are perfect for brushing out tangles from their long, matted hair. But not long ago, one Pufferthorn took a stand. Tired of his race being used for nothing more than good grooming, Pop Thorn used his naturally thorny abilities to stand up and fight back against the giant trolls. Soon after, Master Eon made Pop Thorn a Skylander. And to this day, no trolls dare to comb their hair.
196----
197* BalloonBelly: And balloon body too. He can expand and puff up like a pufferfish.
198* BlowYouAway: His BreathWeapon.
199* CuteLittleFangs: A RidiculouslyCuteCritter, and with little fangs while puffed up, it gives him a rather adorable underbite.
200* KillerRabbit: After Pop Thorn drove them off, the trolls learned to stay away from Pop Thorn and his kind.
201* MacrossMissileMassacre: Pop Thorn, while puffed up, launches his spines as homing missiles.
202* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He's a Pufferthorn, said to be one of the cutest creatures in Skylands.

230A dragon whose dragon line was tasked with guarding the dungeon where the Golden Fear Serpent slumbered. When it woke up, Blades accepted the offer it made of leaving the kingdom alone if Blades took its place for eternity. Accepting this made the serpent vanish.
231----
232* AwesomeEgo: Initially believes he can do missions on his own and doesn't need anyone's help. During most of ''I Am Legendary'', he taunts his enemies as he bests them and proudly boasts about his victory to his team over likely taking down the only lead to the Machine Magus.
233* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Not just below the shoulder, ''his entire armor is bladed''.
234* BlowYouAway: Can summon a whirlwind that damages enemies and even follow him around if upgraded further. The whirlwind can also pick up his blade shards and spin them around, causing increased damage.
235* BreakTheHaughty: In ''I Am Legendary'', he's hit with this after being overwhelmed by the Machine Magus, stripped of his ability to summon his Legendary armor, and outnumbered by Drow villains.
236* CharacterDevelopment: Blades spent most of ''I Am Legendary'' endangering the mission with his recklessness and talking down to Bouncer, Night Shift, and Trigger Happy (who are experienced Skylanders), calling them "old timers" and "slow". Being injured, unable to call for assistance, and surrounded by enemies causes him to realize how much of a jerk he was to his team, and he considered surrendering his Legendary status to earn it back someday by proving that he can be part of a team. Luckily, Bouncer encouraged Blades to keep it after seeing how much the dragon has changed and officially became part of the Skylander team in the process.
237* DefendCommand: He was a Defense type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'', both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
238* ItsAllAboutMe: In ''I Am Legendary'', he was incredibly arrogant and reckless after becoming the youngest Skylander-in training to ever achieve Legendary status. Blades believed he could take on threats by himself without help to prove himself to be the best Legendary Skylander ever.
239* KnightInShiningArmor: He is clad in knight-like armor, and was willing to sacrifice his dreams of becoming a knight for all eternity if it meant keeping his kingdom safe.
240* StarterMon: In the original release of ''Ring of Heroes'', he was one of the three Skylanders that were given to the player at the beginning of the game.

250Fling Kong was a protector of the legendary monkey idol Kubla-Wa. He used his training in the art of Monk-Ru to defend the idol from a troop of Gorilla-Goos.
251----
252* AttackAttackAttack: He was an Attack type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'' after the revamp, after initially being an Expert Type.
253* {{Combos}}: A small version. On both available upgrade paths, the second upgrade will allow Fling Kong to perform a combo if either the primary attack button (under path) or teriary attack button (above path) is pressed after performing a carpet dash.
254* CymbalBangingMonkey: His tertiary attack has him using two discs to bang together and damage enemies with the sound waves. He may not be an actual monkey-toy, but it's close.
255* DeadlyDisc: His primary means of attack. With upgrades, shuriken blades can be added for extra oomph.
256* DeathFromAbove: His Soul Gem ability, where if his secondary attack is charged long enough, Fling Kong will take to the skies and make it rain down power discs that hurts enemies [[DeathByAThousandCuts many times for average damage from each disc]].
257* EquipmentUpgrade: The first upgrade available upgrades his power discs to have spikes and do more damage.
258* JerkassBall: Grabs this alongside Fist Bump and Trail Blazer in the comic "I am Legendary" where they bully Déjà Vu over that they are going to beat her in the championship for a legendary status.
259* MagicCarpet: He flies around on one.
260* MonkeyKingLite: Fling Kong has some qualities that either resemble or reminds one of Sun Wukong. He is of the Air element and flies around on a magic carpet, similarly to how Sun Wukong could fly on clouds, and while Fling Kong may not have the right outfit or accessories to look the part, the alternate colors used for his Awakened form in ''Ring of Heroes'' help make the resemblance stronger.
261* ShockAndAwe: If the Carpet Captain path is chosen, the last upgrade, "Shock Treatment", upgrades Fling Kong's carpet dash to leave behind a trail of electricity.

But some magical quirk led him to grow much larger than the other bees so that he could no longer fit with his people, leading him to step out into the world where he joined the fight against the Arkeyans.

294From the moment he was hatched -- in a storm, with his egg struck by lighting -- Free Ranger has loved exploring extreme weather. But the Darkness is no mere storm, and Eon stopped him from jumping into the maelstrom to request his help in fighting it.

328Once a cloud wrangler in the peaceful Thunderclap Kingdom, Gusto learned to master the wind under the guidance of the Cloud Dragon. When a fleet of dragon hunters came to capture the creature, Gusto stepped in to defend it.

For protecting the Cloud Dragon, Gusto was given a new Traptanium Boomerang and became part of the Trap Team.

345* FogFeet. Has a mass of clouds in the place of legs, much like Lightning Rod.
346* OddlyShapedSword: Be it the electricity motif of the normal version or the tuning-fork shape of the fully-upgraded version, his sword's shape is rather unorthodox, to say the least.
347* ShockAndAwe: He can summon storm clouds and his Soul Gem ability lets him call down lightning bolts from the sky.

358Stormblade was an energetic young chick, who wanted to discover the bottom of Skylands ever since she was young. She never fulfilled this mission even when she couldn't find it from her manmade vehicle, the Sky Slicer. Master Eon saw her thirst for exploration, and asked her to join the Skylanders.
359----
360* AdaptationalJerkass: On top of being considerably more bloodthirsty, her ''Ring of Heroes'' counterpart is far more confrontational, rude, and openly insults her allies, including nearly picking a fight with Spitfire, who's supposedly her best friend. While she's on rocky terms with Nightfall in the ''IDW'' version, it's much more on Nightfall's end than hers, and Spitfire is largely just frustrated with them not getting along.
361* AdaptationalVillainy: While still heroic, her ''Ring of Heroes'' self is notably much more of an AntiHero than her other counterparts, being a lot more bloodthirsty and eager to stab her enemies to death.
362* ArtisticLicenseBiology: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Within the development of her, at least]], which is what led to her final design. She was originally a light-blue peacock with purple feathers and was of the Life element. During the testing of her, a little girl told the developers that female peacocks aren't colorful and instead are brown. After that, Stormblade was planned to be a raven of the Dark element before finally becoming a lark of the Air element.
363* AttackAttackAttack: She was an Attack type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'', both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
364* BirdPeople: She's a humanoid lark. Notably, she doesn't actually have wings naturally, instead her wings are part of a flight suit.
365* DependingOnTheWriter: Stormblade's personality tends to varry quite a bit between mediums. Her mainline counterpart mostly plays her up as a dare devil, her ''IDW'' counterpart plays her up as more empathetic, worries for her allies, and is much less ruthless than Nightfall is, and her ''Ring of Heroes'' incarnation is more abrasive, rude, confrontational, and repeatedly talking about how much she wants to [[BreadEggsMilkSquick stab her enemies in the skull.]]
366* FeatherFlechettes: Uses throwing knives that look like a cross between kunai knives and feathers. Her wings are lined with them.
367* FlashStep: Many of her moves cause her to move so fast she seems to teleport and leaves SpeedEchoes.
368* PsychoKnifeNut: ''Normally'' not, but her ''Ring of Heroes'' incarnation is constantly talking about how much she wants to stab enemies with her knives and is generally far more unhinged.
369--> '''Stormblade''': Ooooh, I can't wait to drive my feather blades into their skulls and stick them straight up their-
370* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Nightfall's Blue, but the Blue to Ghost Roaster's Red in the comic arc "Secret Agent Secrets".
371* SpeedEchoes: When using her moves, she often leaves afterimages behind her.
372* SuperSpeed: Stormblade can FlashStep and leave SpeedEchoes behind her, and is one of the fastest Skylanders period.

384Air Strike trained the endangered Blue Zephyr Falcons so that they could defend themselves better against dangers. After retrieving some of their eggs that were stolen by some trolls, one of them hatched a falcon that seemed to never want to leave Air Strike's side. After naming his newfound companion Birdie, they banded together and now train Imaginators together.
