Master Eon later gave four of the Doom Raiders (Golden Queen, Wolfgang, Chompy Mage and Dr. Krankcase) a choice: either remain imprisoned in the newly-rebuilt Cloudcracker Prison or become Skylander Senseis at Skylanders Academy, teaching a new generation of Imaginators their formidable battle skills as well as how to stay clear of a life of crime. The four accepted the deal but first had to prove themselves by re-arranging all the books in the Academy's library, a task which took almost two years and tested every ounce of will they had.
Kaos
The Big Bad, an evil Portal Master bent on conquering Skylands.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: As Super Evil Kaos. Heck, one phase of the fight takes place inside his mouth!
- Bald of Evil: Though some old pictures in Giants show he had an afro when he was younger.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Despite being an Expy of Invader Zim, 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, he actually wins at the start of SuperChargers, becoming the Emperor of Skylands and unleashing The Darkness.
- Big Bad: Of the franchise as a whole, though he's excluded from the 3DS games barring SuperChargers Racing.
- Brought Down to Normal: Thanks to The Darkness being sealed away at the end of SuperChargers, Kaos loses his powers and is forced to "join" Skylands Academy as "Official Ultimate Evil Consultant of Ultimate Evil".
- Blade Below the Shoulder: As Ultra Traptanium Kaos, he transforms his arms into Traptanium Blades halfway through the fight.
- Butt-Monkey: Constantly belittled by his servants and family, and always underestimated. Even the Skylanders, his rivals who he has nearly killed many times, show no respect to him whatsoever.
- Catchphrase: Uses quite a few through out the games.
- He's a big fan of adding the word "doom" to just about everything
- "FEAR MY [MacGuffin]!"
- His playable character in Imaginators actually has an official catchphrase.Kaos: “Behold, My Catchphrase of DOOM!”
- Defeat Means Friendship: Even Kaos is not exempt from this, unless the player doesn't have the Kaos Trap.
- Determinator: No matter how many times he's beaten, he always shows up in the next game with yet another Evil Plan.
- Discard and Draw: After losing his powers due to him turning against The Darkness in SuperChargers, he stumbles upon the power of Mind Magic in Imaginators.
- Doomy Dooms of Doom: All the time. His Water spell in the first game summons "Doom Sharks", he calls his evil Imaginators "Doomlanders"... and that's just the tip of the iceberg.
- Though he does subvert it once in Imaginators, when he summons "the Purple Doomlander Knight of Cataclysm".Kaos: Thought I was going to say "doom", didn't you?
- Though he does subvert it once in Imaginators, when he summons "the Purple Doomlander Knight of Cataclysm".
- Even Evil Has Standards: After being betrayed by the Doom Raiders, Kaos seeks help from the good guys to help take them down. More specifically, it's the Golden Queen's extremely petty reasons and plans that drive his conflict. Kaos doesn't like taking orders from anyone, not even from The Darkness, who is the source of all his powers and the ultimate force behind ALL evil. And although he wants to rule Skylands as it is his self-proclaimed destiny, he doesn't want to destroy it.
- Evil Is Hammy: He's probably the most hammy person in the entire series.
- Expy: It's been commented that Kaos is basically a slightly more competent Zim; even down to the same voice actor.
- Fate Worse than Death: Although he still expresses desire to destroy the player, in Trap Team, Traptanium-powered Kaos hints that he may be willing to let the player live...by trapping them forever in Traptanium to be displayed as a trophy.
- The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: In Trap Team, a Traptanium-powered Kaos actually threatens the player directly. It goes as far as him pulling random crap out of the real world trying to bring you into Skylands during his fight. SuperChargers ups the ante having him not only directly show the player all the damage he's done and precautions he's taken to prevent his defeat, but even using his portal to shut down the portal network entirely to directly cut the player off from Skylands (at least until Hugo manages to reconnect to Earth). All in the first half of the intro cutscene.
- Gone Horribly Right: In Imaginators he clones himself, but the clone is just as obsessed with victory as the real Kaos and rebels against him.
- Goofy Print Underwear: He's shown to be wearing a pair as Super Evil Kaos.
- Hijacked by Ganon: Twice. In Swap Force, he yoinks the rug out from under his own mother, while in Trap Team, he takes over as the main threat after all of the Doom Raiders are captured.
- Huge Holographic Head: Kaos uses one in Spyro's Adventure to look more intimidating than he really is, but Eon isn't that impressed. Later comes back in Trap Team during his Kaos Challenges.Kaos: My head is awesome, I tell you! Fear it! Fear my GIANT FLOATING HEAD!
- Humongous Mecha: As Robo-Kaos, naturally.
- Hypocritical Humor: When attacked by the player in Trap Team, one of his quips is "Hey, stop cheating! That's my job!"
- Laughably Evil: He might be an utter riot to listen to, but don't underestimate him.
- Large Ham: You thought Ripto from Spyro 2 was cheesy? Kaos puts the cheese on the ham itself. Though conisidering that he's voiced by Richard Steven Horvitz...
- Laser-Guided Karma: His fate at the end of the first game is being banished to Earth himself like he did to the Skylanders.
- Marathon Boss: As Ultra Traptanium Kaos in Trap Team. He has a stupendous amount of health, keeps players at bay with powerful shockwaves, and heals off nearly 40% of his health every time he changes phases.
- Not-So-Harmless Villain: For as much of a joke character as he is, he DID manage to kill Eon before the first game.
- One-Winged Angel: As Super Evil Kaos from being evilized by petrified darkness, where he turns into a gigantic purple monstrosity with incredible power. Happens again with Trap Team as Ultra Traptanium Kaos, but it's considerably more impressive.
- To get this straight: in Trap Team, Kaos uses Traptanium to turn into a crystalline hybrid with glowing white eyes, Traptanium blade-arms and giant black wings growing from his back that can fire off dark energy pulses, fire Traptanium swords, and even see through the fourth wall.
- In Imaginators, Kaos has Brain give him a super form akin to Dragon Ball with spiky, glowing blue hair. However, Brain eventually gets fed up with Kaos and decides to side with the Skylanders, powering them up while taking away Kaos' advantages, turning him into a Clipped-Wing Angel.
- Promoted to Playable: Is first playable as a trappable villain with his own special Trap in Trap Team, then in SuperChargers and SuperChargers Racing he's playable in Sky races using a special trophy. He finally gets his own figure in Imaginators (though here, you're actually playing as a clone of him that he created).
- Sealed Evil in a Can: At the end of the first game, he's sent to the human world where he's turned into a statue just like the Skylanders and ends up in a house's yard where he's attacked by a dog. He escapes in Giants, now in a toy store.
- Spontaneous Weapon Creation: As Ultra Traptanium Kaos, he can create Traptanium swords out of nowhere and fire them at you.
- Then there's Sensei!Kaos, who can generate all sorts of weapons with his Mind Magic powers.
- Taken for Granite: Suffers this fate at the hands of the Golden Queen, who turns him into a gold statue after one outburst too many from the runt.
- Took a Level in Badass: By the time of Imaginators, he apparently managed to master all the battle classes.
- The Un Favourite: According to the tie-in novel, The Machine of Doom, Kaos was this. He was a prince, but was rejected by his own father for being short, smelly and bald, in contrast with his brothers, who were tall, charming, and blessed with long, flowing locks. Harsh. Giants, however, implies that he was an only child; and pictures show that his parents weren't much better-looking.
Golden Queen
A wicked queen made entirely of gold and rich beyond her wildest imagination, the aptly named Golden Queen would gladly trade her entire fortune for just a little more. But why trade when you can steal? And that’s what she did. She stole, and stole, and stole! But no matter how much she took, it was never enough. Through evil sorcery, she even learned how to turn people and objects into solid gold. However, that STILL wasn’t enough. The idea that any amount of treasure in Skylands did not belong to her was infuriating, so she embarked on a quest to take every last cent of it. But she couldn’t do it alone. It was then that she formed the Doom Raiders – the most notorious group of villains ever assembled. As the leader, the Golden Queen promised riches, world domination, and even all-you-can-eat shrimp in order to recruit special criminals to serve her cause.
She was among the Doom Raiders who agreed to become Senseis at Skylanders Academy, but first had to re-arrange all the books in the Academy's library. Much to the Queen’s dismay, this task had nothing to do with gold. But it gave her an opportunity to rethink her insatiable desire for treasure and that maybe there is more to life than stealing. She now trains the Sorcerer Class and considers herself mostly reformed.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Jumps into her molten gold river to grow to giant size mid-fight. She retains this ability at a Sensei, without having to immerse herself in gold to do so, even.
- Bad Boss: Pretty evident, as Krankcase is rather desperate to show her his back-up plan once their goo supplies are depleted. She's relatively level headed when problems arise, such as Wolfgang suggesting that he take over.
- Big Bad: Leader of the Doom Raiders. She steals Kaos' role until her defeat and capture towards the end.
- Bond Villain Stupidity: Does not think that the Skylanders can do much to thwart her and turns the one evil portal master she has against herself.
- Bullet Hell: When in her One-Winged Angel form, she sprays her projectiles across the field and creates shockwaves that become more and more frequent.
- Disc-One Final Boss: She is the last of the Doom Raiders to be defeated and captured before Kaos reclaims his place as the Big Bad.
- Evil Is Petty: Her only motivation is gold. That's it. This ticks Kaos off enough to challenge the Queen to an Evil-Off, seeing as he at least has greater ambitions and a Freudian Excuse (however light it is).
- Evil Versus Evil: She's eventually challenged to an Evil-Off by Kaos. It's pretty one-sided though.
- Greed: She's doing every single thing she does leading the Doom Raiders for extorting gold out of her subjects.
- Gold-Colored Superiority: She's a living golden statue and she's the leader of the Doom Raiders.
- The Magic Touch: She can turn anything into gold by touching it which brings into question as to why she needs to extort gold from everyone.
- Leitmotif: "Bedouin Feast", an active Egyptian theme.
- Money Fetish: She just loooooves gold. It even heals her in her fight.
- Near-Villain Victory: She manages to temporarily take over Skylands with the aid of Krankcase's invention.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Sounds like Pat Carroll (Disney's Ursula), particularly when she does an Evil Laugh. This is because she's voiced by C.C.H. Pounder, best known for playing Amanda Waller in Justice League Unlimited.
Wolfgang
Wolfgang wasn’t always a werewolf. He was once a handsome, brilliant musician set to marry a beautiful princess. Before the wedding, he planned to unveil his ultimate symphony to the greatest music aficionados in Skylands, convinced they would love it and instantly hail him as the best composer of all time. But they didn’t. They hated it – and even worse, it actually physically hurt when heard. Turns out Wolfgang had unintentionally discovered the musical note for pain. Being shunned like this drove Wolfgang utterly and completely mad, physically transforming him into the werewolf he is today. With the princess no longer wanting to marry him, he turned to a life of crime, terrorizing the royal subjects and using his evil music as a weapon. The Golden Queen took note of this and realized that Wolfgang could make a powerful ally, if she could control his rage and keep him in line. And that’s a pretty big "if".
He was among the Doom Raiders who agreed to become Senseis at Skylanders Academy, but first had to re-arrange all the books in the Academy's library. It almost drove him mad again, but he got through it and realized he could earn more respect as a Sensei training the Bowslinger Class than he ever could as a musician.
- Affably Evil: All things considered, he's somewhat friendly to most of the other characters, despite having Blood Knight tendencies and a temper as short a toothpick. Even then, what he gets upset over is justified as well.
- A Father to His Men: He seems to care more about most of the other members and whether they are caught and possibly turned against the rest of the group; he even refers to them as his pack.
- Crowd Surfing: In his Sky-Chi attack, he does this with a crowd of skeleton hands rising out of the ground to damage enemies that he comes into contact with.
- Heel–Face Turn: Prior to Imaginators. His desire to be recognized as a musician was the tipping point for his redemption.
- Helping Would Be Kill Stealing: During the battle with Dr. Krankcase, Krankcase asks Wolfgang to help him finish off the Skylander. Wolfgang refuses, making off with Kaos and heading for Time Town.
- Leitmotif: A fitting rock theme.
- Improbable Weapon User: He fights using a huge, bladed lyre held like a guitar.
- Morph Weapon: In Imaginators, his lyre doubles as a bow.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: Giant brutes with bony spines erupting out of their shoulders.
- The Power of Rock: His primary skill, channeled through his bone lyre.
- Slide Attack: In Imaginators he can do a guitar slide that ends in an explosion.
- The Starscream: Makes a play for control of the Doom Raiders by directly challenging the Golden Queen's authority.
- To be fair, he seemed to catch on that Golden Queen didn't care as much as he did over the loss of comrades.
- We Can Rule Together: He attempts to persuade the Skylander to join his side before his boss fight.Wolfgang: Well well well, look how managed to attend my big concert, some 10,000 years into the future! You know, Skylander, we don't have to fight. Together, we could rule this place! There's no Kaos, no Doom Raiders, and you can get pizza here in 30 seconds or less! (Beat) Nah! LET'S JUST FIGHT INSTEAD!
- Was Once a Man: He used to be a handsome musician who was to marry a princess. Before the marriage, he accidentally performed a bad symphony to the best music enthusiasts, and they're disapproval turned him into a werewolf.
Chompy Mage
Believe it or not, the Chompy Mage actually hatched from inside a Chompy Pod. At least that is how his Chompy hand puppet tells the story. Having been raised by Chompies, it is no surprise that the old magician is a little strange. He simply grew up embracing the Chompy way— believing that Skylands would be a better place if everyone was a Chompy— an illegal enchantment which he has actually tried to perform on several occasions. Eventually, the Chompy Mage's forbidden magic to turn others into Chompies led him to be locked up inside Cloudcracker Prison, where he met the other Doom Raiders. Of course, they all thought he was completely crazy, but the Chompy Mage can see through the eyes of any Chompy in Skylands— and having a few billion little spies can come in handy when trying to enact revenge on the Skylanders. Plus, he could secure the Chompy vote for any sort of political elections that followed.
He was among the Doom Raiders who agreed to become Senseis at Skylanders Academy, but first had to re-arrange all the books in the Academy's library. This gave him the opportunity to take up the bazooka, which he was naturally so good at that he now trains Imaginators of the Bazooker Class as a Sensei master.
- Ambiguously Human: Even less human than the other "human" characters since he's not a Portal Master and also supposedly half-Chompy.
- Ascended Extra: Originally was a One-Level Wonder in Giants, but was brought back in Trap Team as a core member of the Doom Raiders.
- The Beastmaster: As a playable character, he can summon hordes of Chompies to assist him.
- BFG: Gains one in Imaginators, as a newly inducted Sensei of the Bazooker class.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: A rather old-looking man with an unhealthy obsession with the Mascot Mook of the series is also a powerful magic user who can transform into an Eldritch Abomination and is a Doom Raider.
- Clipped-Wing Angel: While his Super Magma Form is impressive, he takes a lot of damage while in it.
- Continuity Nod: Fought before Trap Team in Giants, and became popular enough to become a Doom Raider member, which rewrites his history into being trapped in Cloudcracker Prison from his defeat in Giants until the events of that game. Since he wasn't seen in the cutscene showing the Trap Team fighting the original Doom Raiders, it's implied that he was recruited during his time in the prison.
- Egopolis: Chompy Mountain is an entire mountain carved into a temple extolling the glory of Chompies.
- Fanboy: Of the series' Mascot Mook, the Chompies. His backstory mentions that his invasion of the Wilikin Village was actually just him refusing to admit he'd gotten lost on his way to the Chompy Convention.
- Flunky Boss: Summons waves of Chompies to assail you.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: he doesn't necessarily use them, ironically.
- One-Winged Angel: He has two such forms, a regular Giant Chompy form and his his "ultra magma form", complete with narrator announcement.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Likes enchiladas, which is Flynn's Trademark Favorite Food.
- Warm-Up Boss: The first real Doom Raider players fight in Trap Team (The Gulper goes down via a puzzle), and a introduction to how different Doom Raider fights are compared to the other villains.
Chef Pepper Jack
Chef Pepper Jack was once the most renowned celebrity chef in all of Skylands – until he discovered ancient recipes for evil delicacies. That’s when he turned his thriving restaurant business into a formidable criminal empire. The scam was simple: he would fly his zeppelin fortress over a village and order the townsfolk to surrender all of their money. If they didn’t, he would promptly serve up a main course of spicy pepper bombs that would blow everything to smithereens! The Golden Queen valued both his explosive and non-explosive culinary skills and recruited him into the Doom Raiders at once. Now, when he’s not serving time in Cloudcracker Prison, he’s serving up atomic omelets of doom!
- Acrofatic: He can jump pretty good for someone of his size.
- Character Tics: Stroking his stem beard.
- The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: In the last leg of the fight he makes the entire floor hot, lines it with lasers, and continuously destroy platforms you need to stay undamaged. The kicker? He is unaffected by all of it jumping about as you try to land a hit on him.
- Don't Explain the Joke: Explains what he meant by "tonight on the menu, we's serving you!"
- Energy Weapon: After taking enough damage, he lines the floor with these, and they become more and more difficult to dodge as it goes on.
- Improbable Weapon User: His weapons are a hand-cranked egg beater, chili peppers, and meat.
- Leitmotif: A peppy cooking theme featuring woodwinds and brass instruments. When he lines the floor with lasers it switches to a techno pop remix.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: Sounds like Jim Cummings using his Cajun accent from The Princess and the Frog.
- Playing with Fire: Has an obsession with spicy-ness in food, his entire boss fight is centered around said heat. He can also actually breathe fire once trapped.
- Wake-Up Call Boss: Expect him and the many traps he's employed in his lair to be a much more tricky fight than Chompy Mage.
- Weird Beard: Since his head is a chili pepper, the stem is his beard.
Dreamcatcher
Cloudcracker is not the first prison from which Dreamcatcher has escaped. She had actually escaped from Lucid Lockdown within the Realm of Dreams – before escaping from the dream realm itself! Not only can she read your mind while you’re sleeping but she can bring your worst nightmares to life. Using her mischievous powers of dream-stealing, she has driven entire villages to the point of madness – all for the sheer thrill of it. Her playfully evil nature is what got her noticed by the Golden Queen, who needed a good psychic for her evil schemes... and also for relationship advice. Loving both cunning plans and gossip, Dreamcatcher was happy to oblige and promptly joined the Doom Raiders. Although due to her aforementioned mischievous nature, the Golden Queen has found the relationship advice questionable.
- Dream Stealer: Her powers revolve around being able to read peoples' dreams, and also to bring their deepest nightmares to life.
- The Gadfly: Her bio describes her as being extremely mischievous, which is a bit of a problem for her allies as she was recruited into the Doom Raiders for her mind reading powers. Also, because the Golden Queen needed relationship advice. Consequently, any information/advice they get out of her is of suspect truthfulness or utility.
- Leitmotif: A half creepy, half funky tune with clapping in the background.
- Noodle Incident: She will, if in your portal while roaming the Skylander Academy, occasionally remark that she and Persephone were once friends, before the latter "..went all goody-goody."
- Out of Character: She behaves a lot nicer in Eye Five's Villain Quest because it takes place in an NPC's dream.
- Tertiary Sexual Characteristics: Along with her bow, her feminine nature is reinforced by visibly longer eyelashes and a beauty mark of some variety under her left eye. Said beauty mark is actually a glitter tattoo.
- The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You: She directly threatens the player when she's captured."So not cool, Portal Master. I don't know how you sleep at night. But I'll find out..."
Dr. Krankcase
No one is really quite sure exactly what Dr. Krankcase is a doctor of... but his technical engineering achievements are legendary. The secret to his success lies in his modified concoction of glowing green goo, which causes wooden objects to come to life and turn evil. His unique skillset makes him a valuable asset to the Doom Raiders, who have plenty of nefarious uses for evil wooden creatures called Evilikins. It is also commonly known that Dr. Krankcase served as an evil inspiration to Kaos once upon a time, who had figured out how to make his own wooden creatures, the Wilikins, come to life after reading about the doctor's exploits in the Minion Monthly Catalog. Kaos also respected Dr. K's interest in world domination and doom engineering, not to mention his well-documented love of pickles.
He was among the Doom Raiders who agreed to become Senseis at Skylanders Academy, but first had to re-arrange all the books in the Academy's library. This tested not only his will, but also his knowledge of the alphabet. Now he uses that newfound knowledge to train Imaginators on the A-B-C's of shooting, as the master of the Quickshot Class.
- Action Bomb: His barrel minions become this when filled with his goo.
- Affably Evil: He is probably one of the friendliest villains in the franchise. He compliments your skills during his boss fight and even says he hopes you can be friends when this is all over. Though as he puts it, he's still a pretty bad guy.
- Blood Knight: A lighter example than most, but he seems pretty enthusiastic about fighting the heroes.
- Evil Genius: Not only is he the guy who created the Golden Queen's Ultimate Weapon, but he created the process of animating wood that Kaos used to create the Wilikin. He's also of the Tech element.
- Expy: His Barrel Minions act extremely similar to the Barrel Spiders from Kingdom Hearts, right down to the way they tremble a bit before exploding.
- Guns Akimbo: He uses two goo blasters in Imaginators, being a Sensei of the Quickshot class.
- Leitmotif: A theme that sounds rather fast.
- Mook Maker: Up to eleven, as he's a mini-boss maker, creating stiff-moving but powerful creations mid-battle. along with those he has crawling barrel robots he fills with his explosive goo. He also created Krankenstein, Scrap Shooter, and Shield Shredder.
- Retirony: Played for laughs, as he claims his hat had only two weeks to retirement.
- Villainous Breakdown: Downplayed, but he's pretty scared of the Golden Queen as he reports their loss of their green goo supplies, and seems pretty desperate to come up with a new plan.
The Gulper
From the moment he oozed from the ceiling of the Gelatinous Caverns, The Gulper had possessed an enormous appetite and insatiable thirst for anything and everything he could stuff in his mouth. At a young age, he won first place in the annual Deep-Fried Triple-Cheeseburger eating contest – and has proudly worn the Crown of Gluttony ever since. But it was his particular affinity for soda, which causes him to grow to colossal proportions and go on rampages, that first caught the eye of the Golden Queen. She was looking for special types of people – or creatures – to join her Doom Raider gang that was bent on unleashing total mayhem. It was also her desire to recruit someone who was incredibly dim-witted, so that if they were ever captured, the Skylanders would not be able to extract any useful information. The Gulper fit these requirements to a tee!
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Can grow to immense proportions by eating and drinking lots of food, forcing the heroes to take him out indirectly.
- Big Eater: He's utterly obsessed with stuffing himself with anything edible he could find, while also having the ability to grow bigger the more he eats.
- Cool Crown: It's not even real; his bio states it's a prize he clings to that he won at an eating contest he took part in the past.
- Dumb Muscle: Part of the reason he was brought into the Doom Raider was because he is both extremely strong and he is too stupid to give out useful information if he's caught and turned.
- Extreme Omnivore: One of his playable moves is eating enemies.
- Leitmotif: A lumbering hip hop tune with lots of synthesizer beats.
- Making a Splash: Of the Water element, identified by his barnacle-riddled wrists and Prongs of Poseidon.
- Starter Villain: The first of the Doom Raider leaders to be fought.
- Too Spicy for Yog-Sothoth: To beat him, you have to give him some extremely awful soda.
Nightshade
The antagonist of the Midnight Museum Expansion Pack.A charismatic ninja thief, Nightshade is by far the most famous burglar that Skylands has ever known. Very smooth, charming, classy, and old-school cool. He was born rich and doesn’t need the treasure he steals. He only does it to show off how awesome he is. When the Core of Light was destroyed and the Dark Realm was cut off from the rest of Skylands, Nightshade was rumored to have finally retired from the game. But now that the Midnight Museum is set to host one of Skylands’ rarest treasures, the Dark Eye of Unvisibility, everyone knows it’s only a matter of time before Nightshade resurfaces for one last, big heist.
- Affably Evil: He takes everything in good stride, even his capture.
- Attention Whore: With a hint of pampered sweet person, given his personality. He already has lots of money, he's just wanting attention.
- Big Bad: Of the Midnight Museum Adventure Pack, where he wants to steal the Dark Eye of Tomorrow to be able to steal anything he wants.
- Casting a Shadow: More so than most other dark-oriented characters, as he uses shadows to attack and make clones.
- Expy: His demeanor, status, and attire call to mind Sly Cooper.
- Graceful Loser: When he gets trapped, he doesn’t try to escape and lets the vortex suck him in.
- Large Ham: Justified, as he's deliberately trying to get attention.
- Leitmotif: An extremely energetic Mambo theme, accented with off-tune/low horns, strings, and piano for a dark feel.
- Villainous Crush: Shows an interest in Cali after his capture.
Luminous
The antagonist of the Sunscraper Spire Expansion Pack.Being from the element of Light, Luminous has always feared the dark. Even his own shadow used to frighten him so he became determined to find a source of light so powerful and bright, no darkness, not even shadow, exists. This quest drove him quite mad and he set out to destroy all who opposed him. Finally, he managed to find what he was looking for - The Starlight. A source of light and energy so great, darkness could never escape. But it was protected by the Skylanders and Luminous was unable to get his hands on it. When the entire Light Realm became cut-off from the rest of Skylands, Luminous seized the opportunity and tried once again to steal this Starlight, but what he didn’t know was that a Skylander of the Light Element, Knight Light, was left behind as well. After an intense battle over several days, Knight Light was able to imprison Luminous in Sunscraper Spire, where he remains to this day. Just hope nobody lets him out.
- Affably Evil: Takes his capture EXTREMELY well, all things considered. He honorably takes off his helmet, tosses it, and jumps into the vortex.
- Big Bad: Of the Sunscraper Spire Adventure Pack, where he's after the Starlight.
- Defeat Means Friendship: It's more evident after his Heel–Face Turn than most other villains. He shows regret for impersonating Mags, for example.
- Graceful Loser: Rather than try to fight being trapped like the other Doom Raiders (and practically every other villain, for that matter), he runs directly into the vortex.
- Leitmotif: A swinging jazz number similar to The Incredibles in feel.
- Manipulative Bastard: He disguises himself as Mags to get you to disable the Sunscraper's security to the Starlight.
- Sealed Evil in a Can: Locked up in the Sunscraper Spires until the Adventure Pack's story.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: He grew up afraid of the dark, even fearing his shadow. Therefore he wanted a light so bright that no darkness, not even shadow can exist. This desire drove him mad, and he gets rid of anyone in the way of this goal.
