The Earth element is one of the eight original elements in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. The element encompasses everything related to the ground, from rocks, soil, and earthquakes. Some of them are living mineral, while others are part of the element simply because of their digging skill or because they live underground.
- Super-Toughness: Befitting that some of them are made of rocks (and crystals), Earth Skylanders tend to have some of the highest defense stats of the series. Some of them also have one upgrade that gives them extra armor.
Core Skylanders
Debuting in Spyro's Adventure
Bash
Ever since he was a young dragon, Bash has wished to fly. In an attempt to build up enough momentum to do so, he learned how to curl into a ball and roll at incredible speed. This training has toughened his skin into natural armor, but hasn't gotten him airborne as he'd hoped.
He returns in the Giants toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander. He has a mini version in Trap Team called Bop.
- Balloonacy: Birthday Bash, an alter ego in Lost Islands uses a large cluster of helium balloons to finally get airborne.
- Berserk Button: Bash really doesn't like having the fact he can't fly mentioned.
- Beware My Stinger Tail: It's got a spiked ball at its end, and as a Charged Attack, it packs THE strongest wallop per hit of any (non-Giant) Skylander.
- The Big Guy: In Spyro's Adventure, he has the biggest strength stat of all the Earth Skylanders. Averted in Giants where Prism Break surpasses him.
- Carry a Big Stick: His tail has a mace head on it, making it act like one. One of the upgrades on his "Granite Dragon" path is even named "Mace of Destruction".
- Determinator: He has been jumping off islands, cliffs and other high places in an attempt to fly like other dragons. It hasn't worked, but Bash has never considered giving up, being convinced that one day he's going to soar high up in the sky.
- Dinosaurs Are Dragons: Officially a dragon, but has a lot of saurian characteristics. Lampshaded with his Soul Gem upgrade, which gives him a triceratops helmet.
- Dishing Out Dirt: One of his powers has him making giant walls made of stone. He can also smack these around, making them shoot out rock projectiles.
- Ground Pound: His Series 2 Wow Pow "Rolling Thunder" is this. If the tertiary attack button is pressed while Bash is doing his roll attack, he will summon a giant rock wall trap from the ground that shoots him into the air so that he then crashes down on the ground, damaging enemies in the area around him.
- Handicapped Badass: Wingless dragon who still kicks ass despite it.
- Love at First Sight: He was the first one to see Flashwing when she came to Skylands, and was mesmerized by her beauty. Unfortunately, the female dragon did not know whether he was friend or foe and blasted him off the island they were standing on.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Averted, Bash's eyes may be red, but he's one of the good guys. As for his mini counterpart, Bop, you really wouldn't take warning if you saw his red eyes.
- Rolling Attack: One of his main attacks is to roll into enemies.
- Spectacular Spinning: With a Rolling Attack and a Spin Attack.
- Spin Attack: He can swing his tail to attack in a short distance around him. As he gains more upgrades, the spike ball on the end of his tail gets spikier and do more damage. The last upgrade on the "Granite Dragon" path, "Gaia Hammer", gives Bash a Charged Attack for it. If the button is held down long enough, Bash will do maximum damage.
- Spin to Deflect Stuff: His first upgrade allows him to deflect shots with his Tail Swipe.
Terrafin
A land shark from the dirt seas, Terrafin was the local lifeguard until the heat from a massive explosion fused the sand into glass. Finding himself without a job, he turned to boxing, becoming a champion until he by chance met a Portal Master and decided to fight as a Skylander.
He returns in the Giants toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander and in Swap Force as a Series 3 Skylander called Knockout Terrafin. He has a mini version (formerly sidekick) in Trap Team called Terrabite.
In SuperChargers, he comes in contact with a Rift Engine and gets promoted to a SuperCharger as Shark Shooter Terrafin.
- A Day in the Limelight: He's the main focus character in the tie-in novel "Terrafin Battles the Boom Brothers".
- Belly Flop Crushing: His Earthswim move sees him attack with a body slam when he surfaces.
- Boxing Battler: He used to be a champion boxer, and it shows.
- Chainsaw Good: As an upgrade, he gets a chainsaw fin.
- Cultured Badass: The song he sings when swimming through the dirt is one he apparently wrote himself several years earlier.
- Fast Tunnelling: He "swims" through earth.
- Good Old Fisticuffs: He gets upgraded with brass and spiked knuckle gloves.
- Resolved Noodle Incident: Terrafin mentions that Kaos owes him five dollars in the "In the Beginning" trailer. In the prequel novel "Terrafin Battles the Boom Brothers", it is revealed that Terrafin bet Kaos five dollars that the villain would be laughing on the other side of his face by the end of the day. Since the Skylanders were victorious in their battle against Kaos that day, Kaos owes five dollars thanks to the bet.
- Shark Man: Comes from a whole race of them, the Dirt Sharks.
Shark Shooter Terrafin
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: This version of Terrafin was an Attack type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
- BFG: His new gameplay involves him carrying around a stone gun that shoots smaller sharks, hence his new name. He can also use it to slam the ground like a hammer.
Dino-Rang
Dino-Rang came to the Skylands in a freak portal accident, taken from his home and his people far away. While helping the Skylanders fight for justice, he searches for the mythical Twin Diamond Boomerangs, believing they'll lead him to his destiny.
- Awesome Aussie: His voice brings this to mind.
- Battle Boomerang: His main weapon. Oddly, while they do return to him, they also shatter when they hit anything, unless a path-specific upgrade is bought.
- Berserk Button: According to his biography, he hates being referred to as a dragon.
- The Bus Came Back: After being one of the eight Skylanders from Spyro's Adventure to not get a repose for Giants or the two following games, he finally came back as an Eon's Elite in Superchargers.
- Cultured Badass: According to the Book of Elements, he's a very talented ballroom dancer.
- Defend Command: He was a Defend type Skylander in Ring of Heroes after the revamp, after initially being an Expert Type. His passive ability “Rock Armor” can remove continuous damage on himself and raises his defense if his HP is more than 70% of his max health.
- Does Not Know His Own Strength: Once accidentally launched his dance partner screaming into the air while attempting a simple lift maneuver. She has yet to come back down.
- Pinball Projectile: His boomerangs become this with his "Dancing Boomerangs" upgrade.
- Projectile Pocketing: His Soul Gem ability allows this for his boomerangs.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: Comes from a hunter tribe that uses boomerangs as their weapons.
- Trap Master: His Stonefist Trap ability.
Prism Break
Prism Break was once a fearsome, antisocial rock golem, until he was buried in a cave-in. Freed a hundred years later, Prism Break had not only had a change of heart but the earth's pressure had transformed parts of his rocky body into powerful crystals, which he decided to put to use in the defense of the Skylands.
He returns in the Giants toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander and in Swap Force as a Series 3 Skylander called Hyper Beam Prism Break. He has a LightCore version of him in Giants.
- Emerald Power: Literally; an upgrade that enhances his attack power also turns his crystals green.
- Energy Weapon: Unlike Drobot's, however, they are at least instantaneous beams of light energy, though they do have a more limited range.
- Gemstone Assault: He can summon gemstones to attack.
- Groin Attack: When he was freed from his imprisonment, one of the miners hit him with a pick-axe in "an area Prism Break doesn't like to talk about". Although it's not explicitly said, it's safe to assume he got hit... puts on shades ...in the stones.
- Hand Blast: If you can call those hands.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: Best seen on his portrait
◊. Although it's a little Downplayed since these "teeth" are only visible within official artwork, and his mouth is normally completely empty in both his game model and his figures. - Power Crystal: Those gemstones do a lot of damage.
- Power Glows: LightCore Prism Break's hand crystals glow.
- Sealed Badass in a Can: Thanks to the cave-in, he became this until he was freed.
- Took a Level in Kindness: Before he became who he is today, Prism Break was an irritable rock golem. Then the cave-in happened, and he had a change of heart (and arms).
Debuting in Giants
Flashwing
Nobody's sure where this gem dragon came from. She was first found when Bash wished on a shooting star (to fly, of course) and witnessed it crash into a valley, and when he went to investigate he saw her emerge from a giant geode. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Bash was friendly and she, well, sent him flying.
She has a LightCore version of her in Swap Force.
- Action Girl: As all female Skylanders are, she is more than capable of kicking ass.
- Aliens Among Us: She came to Skylands in a meteorite from places unknown, implying she's actually an alien.
- Attack Drone: Somewhere between the two is Flashwing's "Super Shards" path of upgrades: Fire her crystal shards into a wall and they will stick there, shooting their own crystal shards in sync with Flashwing's own. Flashwing can have up to three such shards at once, potentially quadrupling her firepower in the meantime.
- The Bait: In the Lost Islands mobile game, Flashwing wants to go on a mission to the Pirate Grotto. Why? Because she's made out of gems and the pirates will mistake her for treasure.
- Beware My Stinger Tail: She can fire energy beams from the gem on her tail. Her Soul Gem ability, "Crystal Lighthouse", is implied to utilize the gem on her tail as well.
- Came from the Sky: Arrived in Skylands inside a shooting star that broke open to reveal her when Bash investigated it.
- Combat Medic: Both her and her Light counterpart were Support type Skylanders in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, with her “Fluctuating Rotation” ability allowing her to heal all allies for 15% of their max health. She can also gain a strength buff if her HP is below 30%.
- Emerald Power: Jade Flashwing.
- Energy Weapon: Her primary Charged Attack is a laser blast. Her Soul Gem ability is a large crystal that rotates laser beams around in a circle.
- Feather Flechettes: One of her attacks is to launch a salvo of crystalline feathers from her wings, in all directions (save forward, which is what her primary attack is for).
- Gemstone Assault: Her primary attack is to fire crystal shards. And although you don't encounter them often, Flashwing is also the only Skylander who can destroy crystal blocks without needing to use explosives.
- Gem Tissue: A significant portion of her body is made of crystal.
- Heal Thyself: The "Healing Crystals" upgrade, along Flashwing's Super Shards path, allows Flashwing to recover her HP by standing near the crystal shards she's fired into walls.
- It's All About Me: Flashwing is narcisstic, constantly praising herself while showing off her beauty. So much that she appointed herself as a judge in a beauty contest she arranged for male and female Skylanders, and also taking first, second and third place!
- Power Crystal
- Power Glows: LightCore Flashwing's wings light up.
- Spin Attack: Her Shimmering Spin attack. It can also be upgraded into a Deflector Spin.
Debuting in Swap Force
Slobber Tooth
This prehistoric creature was awakened when two volcanic islands crashed into each other. Kaos immediately tried recruiting him, but when Slobber Tooth declined, Kaos retaliated with a full-scale assault that threatened Slobber Tooth's still-sleeping brethren. Slobber Tooth was able to drive Kaos off and protect his kin and earned an invitation into the Skylanders as a result.
- Beware My Stinger Tail: His third attack allows him to use his tail to smash the ground, and one upgrade path lets him focus on this, letting him do a Spin Attack with it that knocks away opponents and even repeatedly hit the ground with his tail to sending waves of rock at enemies.
- Big Eater: Can get enemies larger than himself into his mouth. And spit them back out to damage them and other enemies. (After an upgrade, if he holds them in his mouth for a while, he'll swallow them and regain some health.)
- Extreme Omnivore: A constant source of headaches for the production team of the "Slobber Tooth" animated Skylanders Short Cut is the fact that he keeps eating the microphones, taking the time to remark on how delicious they are. Once they run out of mics, he turns his attention to the camera. Also, in game, he can fit any small/medium sized foe in his mouth and digest them, regardless of what they're made of, if they're on fire or even if they happen to be ghosts.
- Starter Mon: Dark Slobber Tooth is one of the Dark Skylanders included in the Dark Edition starter pack for Swap Force, something his regular version isn't.
- Swallowed Whole: The fate of foes who he holds in his mouth for a short time, if he's purchased the appropriate upgrade.
- Too Dumb to Live: In the "Fire Kraken" short cut, his tail catches fire, but he thinks he smells barbecue.
- Use Your Head: Swings his spiked head around like a club. He can also get an even spikier helmet to increase his damage this way.
Scorp
A sting ball champion, until the opposing team cheated by using a water gem to wash out his team; but the spell went haywire and threatened to flood the land. Scorp pushed through the torrent to grab the gem and threw it away, proving that his skills could be used for so much more than sport.
- Beware My Stinger Tail: One jab can poison whomever it hits, and can be upgraded to emit a directional shockwave.
- Emerald Power: Lobs poison coated explosive gems, which are green-ish in color. He can combine two of them for a much bigger blast, with the resultant gem being brilliantly green.
- Lovable Jock: A good-natured and heroic Sting Ball champion who saved his team from a flash flood when their opponents attempted to cheat with a water gem.
- A Lizard Named "Liz": He is a scorpion, and his name is literally just the "ion" of that word removed.
- Shockwave Stomp: One possible upgrade for his stinger, where he launches a poison shockwave when he stings the ground that can still poison opponents.
- Sticky Bomb: His primary weapons are emeralds that launch onto opponents before exploding a short while later.
- Technicolor Toxin: His is bright green.
Debuting in Trap Team
Fist Bump
This rock panda was the protector of the Bubbling Bamboo Forest, until a group of Greebles arrived to demolish all of it to build a new base. Fist Bump immediately took action by slamming both of his giant fists into the ground so hard that an earthquake was created that destroyed all of the Greebles’ machines. Terrafin heard of this and brought Fist Bump to Master Eon.
- Ground Punch: Both his primary and secondary abilities do this.
- Jerkass Ball: Grabs this alongside Fling Kong and Trail Blazer in the comic "I am Legendary" where they bully Déjà Vu over the fact that they are going to beat her in the championship for a legendary status.
Rocky Roll
Rocky and Roll met each other in mining school and shared the same dream of making it to the top of Peek’s Peak where one’s destiny was meant to be revealed. However, It took many years before the two met each other again on the path to the peak, where they realized that they were meant to travel together on many adventures, and on one of those adventures, they met Master Eon, who saw the potential in the two's bond.
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: They were an Attack type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
- The Dividual: Rocky Roll is basically two Skylanders in one.
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: They'd known each other ever since they were in mining school, but their bond was solidified at Peek's Peak, where they realized they were destined to go on adventures together.
- Rolling Attack: Roll is evidently an expert at this.
Giant
Crusher
Crusher loves crushing rocks. Loves it. He's studied minerals all his life, and is always searching for some new kind of stone to smash. So when he heard the Arkeyans were taking rocks to melt down into war machines, he took it rather personally.
- Defend Command: He was a Defense type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. His passive ability “Strong Body”, raises his defense by 10% if his endurance stands at 2 or less.
- Detachment Combat: His Rock Slide ability causes him to break apart into damaging rocks, which then pull back and reform.
- Dishing Out Dirt: He's not only made of rocks, but can also generate fault lines, turn opponents to stone, and even turn into a series of boulders.
- Felony Misdemeanor: His reason for becoming the first Earth Skylander is because he learned that the Arkeyans were melting rocks into weapons. Crushing them is HIS job!
- Genius Bruiser: His passion is smashing stuff, but he's an expert on geology.
- Golem: He's a gigantic rock golem.
- Humongous-Headed Hammer: Crusher uses a giant sledgehammer whose head is the size of his own, which he also named Crusher. Crusher (the hammer) is also heavy enough that slamming it on the ground causes fissures to form.
- Named Weapons: The hammer is also named Crusher.
- Taken for Granite: Has an Eye Beam that does this to foes in front of him.
Swap Force
Rubble Rouser
A rock-eating creature, Rubble Rouser and his people spent most days digging through Deep Mountain mouthful by mouthful, but he found he could dig faster with his hammer and drill. The leaders of his race wanted no part in changing the way they worked- until the evil Rock Lords trapped them in the mountain. Rubble Rouser showed his power by defeating the Rock Lords with his tools, inspiring his leaders to encourage him to seek out the Skylanders.
- Golem: He's a rock golem.
- Mighty Glacier: He's the slowest Swap-Force member, but he hits like a train.
- Spread Shot: Excavator path allows him to smash a spread of rock shards out of the ground.
- This Is a Drill: At least his feet are. And when you've upgraded it, his hammer becomes one too.
- The Minion Master: His Miner Foreman path.
Doom Stone
Doom Stone was originally just a statue, carved from the strongest rock in all of Skylands. However, he was brought to life by a lazy wizard who needed someone to do menial labour. Doom Stone was only too happy to help and in his spare time learnt the ancient ways of Stone Fighting, just in case the wizard ever needed protecting. Sure enough, the wizard was kidnapped and Doom Stone wasted no time showing off his fighting skills to save his master. Afterward, the wizard knew Doom Stone had a greater calling and contacted Master Eon, who made him a Skylander.
- Carry a Big Stick: His weapon is a stone column.
- Deadly Disc: His belt doubles as an enchanted buzzsaw as part of his "Spin" ability.
- Doomy Dooms of Doom: His first name is Doom.
- Emerald Power: Much of his power revolves around jade, both turning enemies into it, and the fact that his weapons and armor are practically crafted from it.
- Knight in Shining Armor: While more so themed after a gladiator with his Greco-Roman origins, he does fit the motif otherwise with his desire to protect others.
- Living Statue: He's a statue that was brought to life by a lazy wizard who wanted help with heavy lifting and other such tasks around his castle.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Doom Stone's shield is able to protect himself from both melee attacks and projectiles, and anyone hit by the shield is also turned into jade.
- Medusa: The emblem on his shield, whose eyes glow when he switches it on, and whose snake hair can actually come alive as a secondary defense weapon with his Soul Gem upgrade.
- Mighty Glacier: He's on the slower side but he hits quite hard.
- Taken for Granite: He can turn enemies into jade by blocking physical attacks and reflecting ranged ones.
Trap Masters
Wallop
Wallop was once a promising young apprentice blacksmith among his people, who had used the volcanic lava of Mount Scorch to forge the finest weapons in all of Skylands for generations. However, on the day he was to be taken under the wing of a master smith, a Fire Viper awoke within the mountain and attacked his village. With his twin forging hammers and skills honed pounding metal into shape, Wallop felled the savage beast and drew the attention of the Skylanders. Now, with a matched pair of Traptanium hammers, he beats down any evil that dares rise to threaten Skylands.
- Animal Motifs: His armor is very evocative of a Hercules beetle.
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: He was an Attack type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
- Audience Surrogate: In "Return of the Dragon King", Wallop is the only Skylander of the quartet heading to the Cadaverous Crypts who doesn't know who Malefor is, so when the villain finally appears, Wallop questions who he is, to which Spyro, Hex and Cynder, the ones who have met Malefor in one way or another, fill Wallop and the reader in on who they're dealing with.
- Badass Bystander: Originally a simple apprentice blacksmith, until his village was attacked.
- The Big Guy: He serves this role in the comic arc "Return of the Dragon King", as Spyro and Hex felt like Wallop was the only other Skylander needed to help them discover the mystery of their disappearing powers.
- The Blacksmith: His previous profession was a blacksmith, using lava to forge the finest weapons in Skylands.
- Dual Wielding: Has a pair of Traptanium hammers.
- The Lancer: He takes up the leader role in Trap Team's opening cutscene and the "Trapping Kaos" trailer. This implies he and Snap Shot alternate team roles.
- Throwing Your Sword Always Works: Comes in two flavors, a simple but effective single target hammer lob, and the room clearing When Hammers Collide. Both have limited homing capabilities.
Head Rush
Raised in a village enslaved by the evil Harvest Sphinx, Head Rush dreamed of overthrowing her people's cruel master, but despite their numbers, no one person was brave enough to challenge the Sphinx. Taking the situation by the horns, she charged through her village, bellowing a mighty yodel that roused her kin to action and led them on a devastating charge that drove the Sphinx from their island forever.
- Action Girl: She's a female Trap Master who literally fights with her head. Her weapon is also just her strength, and her Traptanium-horned helmet.
- Brawn Hilda: One of the strongest female Skylanders in terms of raw physical power, packing powerful headbutt and Shockwave Stomp attacks.
- Defend Command: She was a Defense type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. Her “Super Lungs” attack could raise her defense by 30%, and one of her passive attacks “Firm Bond” could give a team member a shield effect if Head Rush is in the leader position.
- Shockwave Stomp: Her secondary ability does this.
- Super-Scream: Or yodel, in her case. Same effect, though.
- Use Your Head: Her primary ability is a headbutt. If you press and hold Attack 1, she'll charge the enemy headfirst.
- Weaponized Headgear: Her helmet has horns made of Traptanium, which she puts to good use.
SuperCharger
Smash Hit
Smash Hit’s species were a group known for using their combat skills in demolition. Smash Hit loved this job so much that he could demolish an entire Arkeyan Conquertron in under an hour and still have time for a snack. Eon saw this talent as being useful as a Skylander, and enlisted Smash Hit into the SuperChargers.
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: He was an Attack type Skylander in Ring of Heroes before the game closed down.
- Car Fu: Unlike many other land vehicles, which depend on ranged weaponry, Thump Truck actually has a ramming attack.
- Chain Pain: The boulder on his flail can be detached to fight like this.
- "Oh that's nothing. Wait till I get started! You know I had a cousin one time who came in like a wrecking ball. Which was great except for the fact his mother ran a china shop. The next day everything was half off. Which is silly cuz what can you do with half a plate? Right?""Driving?! Driving?!! I'm an excellent driver! No question! Well, actually I do have a question - but not about driving. You ever wonder, Buzz, about pie. Not pie the number, I mean pie the pie - you know apple, berry, cherry, rutabaga? Terrible pie that rutabaga. But good for bowling."
- Epic Flail: He fights with a ball and chain almost as large as he is.
- Eyepatch of Power: He has one, and is strong enough to carry a wrecking ball-shaped boulder.
- Gender Flip: The closest original design to Smash Hit's gameplay was of a female ceratopsian. That idea was eventually combined with the idea of a koala-based Skylander to create Smash Hit as he is now, a mammalian marsupial with a giant ball and chain.
- Mighty Glacier: At least if he has the wrecking ball attached. Smash Hit moves slower both in his movement and attacks than if it isn't connected, but they are far stronger. Add to that, he is also one of the two who has the highest possible HP of all the SuperChargers.
- This also applies to his vehicle, the Thump Truck. It has one of the lowest acceleration stats in the game, but brings the pain like almost nothing else. A critical hit from its secondary attack deals 1920 damage, which will destroy pretty much anything that gets hit by it.
- Motor Mouth: When talking to Buzz, he just talks a mile a minute, jumping from topic to topic.
- Person of Mass Destruction: He was part of a crew in charge of wrecking the remains of the Arkeyan Army. Yet he was by far the best at it. He could singlehandedly demolish a wrecked Arkeyan robot in under an hour and still have time to eat.
- Pint-Sized Powerhouse: He's tiny, literally the same size as the head of his Epic Flail and almost the exact same size as Fryno. However, he hits like a ton of bricks, and Thump Truck is a nearly unstoppable juggernaut.
- Stance System: Smash Hit has two different ways of gameplay, which he gets from switching between having the wrecking ball attached to his chain or not. He can either have it connected and perform stronger, but slower attacks in the form of Spectacular Spinning or disconnect it and have weaker, but quicker attacks with just the chain. His movement speed is also affected whether the wrecking ball is attached or not.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: All he's got to cover his remarkably well-toned torso is a bright orange work harness.
Senseis
Tri-Tip
Tri-Tip used to search the Skylands for the mythical Warping Walnut Tree. When he finally found it, he took a Golden Walnut from it, which was said to reveal one’s purpose in life. Because it was so hard to crack open, he spent years building up his strength and skills with a mace. But when he was ready to crack it with this new strength, he realized that the walnut had all along taught him to use his skills to protect Skylands.
- Borrowed Catchphrase: One of his quotes does this and then immediately lampshades it:Tri-Tip: Dino-might! And yes, I stole that one from Chopper.
- Brutish Character, Brutish Weapon: He became a Sensei of the Smasher class wielding a giant mace after years of training, and he has several lines where he says how much he loves to smash stuff.
- Carry a Big Stick: As a Smasher Sensei, he's obligated to carry one. And what a big stick indeed.
- Defend Command: He was a Defense type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. Best shown with his leader skill, which raises all team member’s defense. If he isn’t the leader, then it only applies to him. His “Forestallment” attack raises his defense by 10%, and his passive ability “Strong Head Bone” can raise his defense as well as his attack by 10% if he has the Provoke effect on him, so it goes well together with his attack that grants him the provoke status, “Swing Attack”.
- Dumb Muscle: Not quite as dumb as other examples, but it's clear intellect is not his forte.Tri-Tip: You can put your faith in numbers, mine is in the club!
- The One Guy: In a rarity for the series. Tri-Tip is the only male Earth Sensei.
- The All-Solving Hammer: Firmly believes the solution to every problem he's confronted with is "smash it."
Barbella
A former fitness trainer, who had her own gym where she taught about healthy diets and workouts. Until The Gulper destroyed it one day. When that happened, Barbella held up the collapsing building to give everyone else time to flee. This led her to train to become a sensei and is today one of the greatest masters in Skylands.
- Amazonian Beauty: She used to be a fitness trainer, so naturally she's really well-built.
- Defend Command: He was a Defense type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. Her “Weight Lifting” attack grants the Shield effect on the team member with the lowest health, raising it by 10%. If she is in the leader position then all the team members will get increased endurance by one point.
- Double Weapon: Wields a barbell with a stone block at each end.
- Punny Name: On "barbell" and "bella", the Italian word for "beautiful".
- Super-Strength: If her weapon wasn't a giveaway, the fact she was able to hold up a collapsing building should be a clue to how strong she is.
