10
11	When Kaos destroyed the Core of Light, the two hidden elements Light and Dark vanished alongside their Skylanders, stranding them in their realms. They returned and revealed themselves to Skylands once again by the events of ''Trap Team'', when Cloudcracker Prison got blown up.
12
13	Despite being powered by the most dangerous element of them all, being fueled by the very Darkness the Skylanders have fought for ages, Dark Skylanders are able to resist the ominous force and use their powers for the good side. They specialize in operating in the shadows, and utilizing dark magic to summon voids and black holes.

18	* BlankWhiteEyes: Every single Skylander of this element, including [[HeelFaceTurn Hood Sickle]], though his eyes are red in art and pink in-game, don't have any pupils.
19	* ColorMotifs: Black and [[PurpleIsPowerful Purple]]. While black obviously fits the most for this element, in several connections to the Dark element it is [[PurpleIsTheNewBlack mixed together with purple]], such as in Midnight Museum where the color scheme is both of these colors. Among the Skylanders themselves, only Nightshade and Hood Sickle really fit into this, as Blackout and Knight Mare are more black mixed with green and Starcast is with blue.
20	* DarkIsNotEvil: All Dark element Skylanders firmly believe that the Dark element and the Darkness are unrelated.

30	Blackout was once a member of the Dark Stygian, a dragon clan which created nightmares for villains. When the rest of the clan started abusing their powers for kicks, he rebelled and started fighting their creations from the inside. Which is how he wound up in Master Eon's dreams and became a Skylander.

54	* JoustingLance: She uses her flamberge for this purpose.

70	%%* DarkIsNotEvil
71	* GasMaskLongcoat: Her ensemble has this look, though she's wearing a greatcoat if you want to get pedantic.
72	* GravitySucks: The Sea Shadow features a black hole projector, ominously called the "Abyss Cannon".
73	* PrehensileHair: She actually uses hers to walk around, and it certainly seems to be the source of her [[CombatTentacles Whip Lash]] attacks.
74	* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Stormblade's Red in the comic arc "Secret Agent Secrets".
75	* ShouldersOfDoom: Understated, but she wears a greatcoat in the style of a 19th-century officer's uniform, complete with epaulets.

84
85	An alien that appeared when Eon wished on a star for a creature that can be a Ninja Sensei to appear. Or because Pop Fizz wished on the same star to get out of anger management with Eon. No matter whose wish came true, it was clear that Starcast was the Ninja Sensei Eon was looking for.

87	* AttackAttackAttack: He was an Attack type Skylander in ''Ring of Heroes'', both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
88	* BizarreSexualDimorphism: His origin story, appearance, mystical power, and even his name make it not that much of a stretch for him to be related to Star Strike (listed under Skylanders Debuting In Swap Force). If true, then the females of their species are small, humanoid and lack visible feet, while the males are colossal four-armed hunchbacks.
89	* {{Hammerspace}}: He visibly summons more throwing stars into his hands once he's thrown his current stock.
90	* MultiArmedAndDangerous: He has four arms.
91	* {{Ninja}}: One who doesn't make use of more traditional means of misdirection as he can naturally turn invisible.
92	* NinjaLog: A very strange variation, wherein he does vanish and make his foes target something else, but in this case, the "log" is a living doppelganger of himself that fights back.
93	* StockNinjaWeaponry: Uses his four arms to throw shurikens.
