History Characters / SkylandersTrapTeamVillains

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: One of the most famous traits of Dr. Krankcase is his creation of Evilikins. In the three levels that relates to his capture (Mystic Mill, Secret Sewers of Supreme Stink and Wilikin Workshop), almost all of the trappable villains aside from him are Evilikins.

* LargeHam: Especially in the scene where Dr. Krankcase announces that they've run out of goo for the ultimate weapon.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:She presents three rules for the people of Skylands to follow, otherwise she will use the ultimate weapon on them. The third rule is that she has permission to add as many rules as she wants.]]

* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: In the last leg of the fight, he makes the entire floor hot, lines it with lasers, and continuously destroys platforms you need to stay undamaged. The kicker? ''[[NoSell He is unaffected by all of it]]'', jumping about as you try to land a hit on him. Though this can be [[JustifiedTrope justified]], given that he is part of the fire element himself.

* ForTheEvulz: According to Barbella's backstory, he destroyed her gym for seemingly no reason ([[FatBastard but most possibly due to a disaggreement]] with her ideal that a healthy diet and a lot of exercise is what leads to true happiness).

* BreakoutCharacter: Inexplicably, Chill Bill underwent MemeticMutation in 2022 and 2023, becoming one of the most well-known ''Skylanders'' characters in pop culture.

* MinionMaster: Can summon [[ActionBomb explosively festive]] pinata minions, and with upgrades, will automatically create them with every foe he defeats.

* ArcherArchetype: In ''Imaginators'', he becomes a Bowslinger Sensei and turns his lyre into a bow, and his notes become his arrows.

* MusicalAssassin: If it wasn't obvious by this point. His attacks are in some reference to rock concerts and music, such as doing a slide attack while posing, playing on his lyre to fire rapid-fire notes that hurt enemies upon contact and hitting enemies with his lyre, which admittedly is not music-related, but he still uses his instrument for it. As a Sensei, he retains the slide attack, but his two other attacks are replaced with an arrow attack because he's now a [[ArcherArchetype Bowslinger Sensei]], and summoning speakers from the ground.

* ConsultingMrPuppet: He occasionally talks to the Chompy puppet on his hand and emulates it giving a response.

* ConsultingMrPuppet: He occasionally talks to the Chompy puppet on his hand and mimics it giving a response.

* ClippedWingAngel: While his Super Magma Form is impressive, he takes a lot of damage while in it.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Expect him and the many traps he's employed in his lair to be a much more tricky fight than Chompy Mage.

Due to ''Trap Team'' introducing so many villains, they get their own page.

* DiscardAndDraw: In ''Imaginators'', he ditches his Chompy staff and replaces it with a Chompy bazooka. Despite this, he is still holding a staff in both his toy form and on his cover art.

* {{Leitmotif}}: A truly sinister bit with low continuous string and imposing drums. It quite literally sounds like the ominous, implacable footsteps of death itself.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He is the antagonist of the Light in The Dark arc of the IDW Comics (Issues 10 and 11), and he shows himself to be highly competent villain for a living piñata.
* DiscardAndDraw: As a Sensei, his lollipop will shatter after a certain number of whacks and get replaced with a new piece of candy in sequence. Each of these, in turn, has a different effect activated when it breaks, such as shields for rock candies and a freezing blast for candy canes.

* KillerRabbit: He's a living piñata who squeaks when he runs and uses candy as weaponry, he's also originally a villain.

* BossInMooksClothing: He is one of the few non-Doom Raider villains who is never encountered as a normal enemy in a level where he is not trappable (alongside Sheep Creep and Chomp Chest). The only time where he is fought normally are in the arena challenges of Brock's Rumble Clubhouse, which is also the final arena for arena challenges. And when he appears, he shows that there's a reason why he doesn't appear as a normal enemy (aside from the fact that he is up in the Skyhighlands throughout the entire story), he is really strong and can move around quickly thanks to his [[TeleportSpam teleportation]]. He's gonna wipe the floor with any Skylander unless they are a LightningBruiser just like him or if they are accompanied by a villain who is that.

* IncomingHam: His catchphrase (both in ''Trap Team'' and ''Imaginators'') combined with with his NoIndoorVoice gives him quite an entrance every time he makes an appearance.

* LateToThePunchline: Throughout the Skyhighlands level, he doesn't realize that it is the Skylanders who has come to his ship and he would rather guess who they are instead of having them tell him. And he never figures it out throughout the level either. It's only if he's in the portal while the player explores Skylander Academy when he is able to put two and two together.

* PuzzleBoss: Not his normal fight, but at the times he challenges you to Skystones Smash, given that it's a card game.
* RecurringBoss: He challenges you to Skystones Smash three seperate times throughout the Skyhighlands.
* StockNinjaWeaponry: Pretty expected from a ninja, and he have two different types of inventories in both of his appearances. He wields a katana and can throw small ninja stars in ''Trap Team'', and as a Ninja Sensei in ''Imaginators'' he now throws shurikens.

* HeelFaceTurn: In ''Imaginators''. Turns out, he had a good/evil switch, this whole time....
* HeroesPreferSwords: In ''Imaginators'', the game that cemented his HeelFaceTurn, he's part of the Knight class and wields a sword.

* XanatosSpeedChess: After the Skylanders shut down the sewers from where the Doom Raiders gets the goo to power the ultimate weapon, Krankcase immediately comes up with an alternative way for them to get the power they need. And even when there was a flaw in that plan, he and Wolfgang quickly make a solution that requires making a BatmanGambit for Kaos.

* BuffySpeak: When he is about to be trapped, he calls the whirlwind that drags him in "swirly thing".
* CoolCrown: 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.
* DumbMuscle: 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. Kind of a waste then, seeing as Gulper is captured before the Doom Raiders' evil plot can root itself. Wolfgang still seems to care about his capture, however.

* StarterVillain: The first of the Doom Raider to be fought.

* NoSell: His Sensei Shrine animation starts with him not paying attention to the Shrine that shoots one of its fists at him. He just flinches a little when it hits him, but it does scare away the bug he was entranced by, sending him into using the fist launched at him against the Shrine. Also reflected in his out-of-game stats, where his defense is at an maxed out 350.

* TinyHeadedBehemoth: His head is a lot smaller compared to the rest of his buddy. It's even smaller than just one of his hands.

* HeroesPreferSwords: When she returns as a Sensei Skylander in ''Imaginators'' having went through an HeelFaceTurn, she goes from being an EvilSorcerer to a Swashbuckler who wields [[DualWielding two swords]]

* AmbiguouslyHuman: Even less human than the other "human" characters since he's not a Portal Master and also supposedly half-Chompy.

* AFatherToHisMen: Even if Chompy Mage’s “men” are Chompies, he’s called the Champ of Chomp and in ''Ring of Heroes'', he’s willing to surrender if it means his Chompies will be spared.

* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: he doesn't necessarily use them, ironically.
* OneWingedAngel: He has two such forms, a regular Giant Chompy form and his his "ultra magma form", complete with narrator announcement.

* WarmUpBoss: 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.

* CharacterTics: Stroking his stem beard.
* TheComputerIsACheatingBastard: 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? ''[[NoSell He is unaffected by all of it]]'' jumping about as you try to land a hit on him. Though this can be [[JustifiedTrope justified]], giving that he is part of the fire element himself.

* ObviouslyEvil: With his grotesque face and large physique, it doesn't come off as a surprise that he is a member of the most dangerous villain group in Skylands. This was actually the reason why he didn’t return as a Sensei in ''Imaginators'', because Creator/{{Activision}} thought that his design wouldn’t lend itself into fitting as a Skylander. That and that he also would be too hard to package.

* TheGadfly: 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.

* AffablyEvil: 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.

* BossArenaIdiocy: Both he and his Evilikin creation can get stuck in the grinder Krankcase summons late in his battle, shredding chunks of their health, if not outright defeating them.

* MookMaker: [[ExaggeratedTrope Up to eleven]], as he's a ''mini-boss'' maker, creating [[MightyGlacier 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, three villains that are fought and captured throughout Dr. Krankcase's arc of the story.

* LightningBruiser: In ''Trap Team'', he can move quickly and his attacks hits like a truck. Most notably the simplest of his attacks, his guitar swing, which already does over 200 damage when playing as Wolfgang for the first time. But once Wolfgang's villain quest is completed and he has been evolved, the swing can deal more than ''350'' damage.

* MusicalAssassin: If it wasn't obvious by this point. His attacks are in some reference to rock concerts and music, such as doing a slide attack while posing, playing on his lyre to fire rapid-fire notes that hurt enemies upon contact and hitting enemies with his lyre, which admittedly is not music-related, but he still uses his instrument for it. As a Sensei, he retains the slide attack, but his two other attacks are replaced with an arrow attack because he now is a [[ArcherArchetype Bowslinger Sensei]], and summoning speakers from the ground.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Giant brutes with bony spines erupting out of their shoulders.
* PetTheDog: Him caring about The Gulper and Chompy Mage being captured. Even if he is a villain and part of a group with the greatest villains of Skylands, he still cares about the group's members.

** The first upgrade on the above path, "Soundmeister", makes the slide leave behind music notes that [[StatusInflictionAttack slows down enemies]].

* TheStarscream: Throughout ''Trap Team'', he shows a disdain towards the Golden Queen's ways of achieving the Doom Raiders' goal of building the Ultimate Weapon, mostly because she doesn't seem to care about the fact that some of their teammates gets captured by the Skylanders. So when the remaining Doom Raiders' (including him) plan to capture Kaos in order to time travel works, he takes this chance to travel to the future of Skylands by himself and conquer it there, leaving the Golden Queen to only control Skylands in the present. [[TheBadGuyWins And he succeeds!]]... until the Skylanders travel to the future themselves to stop him.

-->'''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, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and you can get pizza here in 30 seconds or less!]] ({{Beat}}) Nah! ''LET'S JUST FIGHT INSTEAD!''

** [[spoiler:When the Skylanders have found her temple in the Golden Desert (and headed back to Skylander Academy due to Cali being turned into gold by the Queen), she goes crazy over that they would attack her, thinking she was fair with her demands for Skylands and aims her ultimate weapon at the academy.]]

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: His [[VillainWithGoodPublicity beloved status]] is more reserved for him as an artist rather than as [[spoiler:the ruler of Skylands. After the BatmanGambit they made for Kaos worked out, he betrays the Golden Queen and her Ultimate Weapon plan and takes over Skylands for himself by bringing Kaos to Time Town and then traveling to the future (because a Portal Master is required for time travelling and Kaos is the only one left in Skylands) and conquers Skylands there. By the time the Skylanders themselves travel 10,000 years into the future to stop him and bring him back to the present, Wolfgang has already taken over and is even called "Emperor Wolfgang" by the future inhabitants of Skylands, which happened because there were no Skylanders or anyone else heroic around anymore. And he has constructed a speaker the size of a space station called the Big Bad Woofer which can blow up everything thanks to its sheer loudness. Understandably, all the Mabus the Skylanders meet in the future are more than happy that they are there to bring Wolfgang down. One of them, Q.U.I.G.L.E.Y (who also holds Wolfgang's Villain Quest), says woo-hoo to the fact that Wolfgang is not their emperor anymore.]]

* AffablyEvil: All things considered, he's somewhat friendly to most of the other characters, despite having BloodKnight tendencies and a temper as short a toothpick. Even then, what he gets upset over is justified as well. He is also probably the most GracefulLoser of all the Doom Raiders, sitting peacefully in the forcefield that spawns around him after he is defeated and not being concerned enough about the Traptanium vortex to jump towards it to grab his lyre after he lost his grip on it.

* HeelFaceReturn: After being absent from the story of ''Supercharchers'', several members of the Doom Raiders return reformed in ''Imaginators'' as Sensei Skylanders. The ones who don’t appear are Dreamcatcher, Chef Pepper Jack, and Gulper.

* AdvancingBossOfDoom: [[spoiler:The final phase of her boss battle in ''Trap Team'' is basically her third and final VillainousBreakdown, which has her chase the Skylander and Cali down the stairs to her throne room. At the bottom of the stairs, he gets stuck between two pillars. After the Skylander breaks one of them, they fall down on her, dealing the final blow and ending the fight.]]
* AncientEgypt: Her motif. She dresses like a pharaoh and acts like one to. Her sea vehicle in [=SuperChargers=], the Glitter Glider, is also designed like a boat from that time period.

* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: [[spoiler:Halfway through her fight in ''Trap Team'', she jumps into her molten gold river to grow to giant size, and stays like that for the rest of the fight. She retains this ability at a Sensei, without having to immerse herself in gold to do so, even.]]

* BigBad: As the leader of the Doom Raiders, she becomes this in ''Trap Team''. Since she is much more vile and has several other great villains follow her, she steals Kaos' role until her defeat and capture towards the end [[spoiler:[[HijackedByGanon when Kaos betrays the Skylanders and takes control of Golden Queen's ultimate weapon]]]].

* CoolBoat: As one of the playable sea villains in the racing mode of ''[=SuperChargers=]'', her vehicle is the Glitter Glider, which is designedlike a felucca.

* EvilIsHammy: She starts rivaling Kaos in this regards by chewing the scenery more and more as ''Trap Team'' goes on.

* {{Greed}}: She's doing every single thing she does leading the Doom Raiders for extorting gold out of her subjects. She says the with the ultimate weapon, they are going to steal all the gold that exists in the entire Skylands, [[spoiler:and sure enough, when the ultimate weapon is complete, one of the rules she bestows upon the citizens of Skylands is to deliver all the gold to her "as fitting tribute".]]
* HairTriggerTemper: Her temper gets shorter and shorter the more ''Trap Team'' goes on and the more the Skylanders starts derailing her plans to take over Skylands.

* LackOfEmpathy: Doesn’t seem to care that her fellow Doom Raiders get captured by the hands of the Skylanders and turned over to their side, viewing them as sacrifices in the progress of building and powering the Ultimate Weapon. [[spoiler:But when said weapon is complete, one of her rules for Skylands is for the Skylanders to release them.]]

** In ''Trap Team'', she can only becomes this after her villain quest has been completed. Throughout the final chapter, various machinical piggy banks can be found, and when Golden Queen interacts with them, she makes them spew out gold.
** In ''Lost Islands'', if she is captured she increases the amount of gold gotten from Sanctuaries.

* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:The two final phases of her battle has her growing into a giant.]]

** This leads to a slight [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] with Wolfgang, as he doesn't like how the other Doom Raider members has to put themselves in danger, leading to them getting captured by the Skylanders, all for the ultimate plan they have while Golden Queen can stay behind in safety. [[spoiler:So when enough members have been captured and reformed, [[TheStarscream Wolfgang betrays her]] and uses the plan to get a stinky cheese from the future to send himself there so he can conquer Skylands in that time period.]]

* PsychopathicWomanchild: She isn't anything like this at first, ''especially'' compared to [[BigBadWannabe Kaos]]. But as the Skylanders gets further and further along in stopping her ultimate plan, she starts slipping into becoming more and more immature and unstable, as she starts [[EvilIsHammy screaming in anger]] and [[HairTriggerTemper throwing tantrums]]. As described below, she goes through a VillainousBreakdown not once, not twice, but ''thrice'' in the second half of ''Trap Team''.

* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: [[spoiler:She presents three rules for the people to of Skylands to follow, otherwise she will use the ultimate weapon on them. The rule third is that she has permission to add as many rules as she wants.]]
