History Characters / SkylandersWater

* DistressedDude: In ''[[SkylandersTheMaskOfPower Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master]]'', [[spoiler: he briefly becomes this when a brainwashed Wham-Shell pins him down under a suffocating blanket of sticky starfish. He's stuck that way until the Fish Master Crown is shattered]].

* {{Brainwashed}}: In ''[[SkylandersTheMaskOfPower Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master]]', [[spoiler: he ends up being brainwashed by Captain Grimslobber. He gets better.]]

* RedOniBlueOni: He's the Red Oni to Gill Grunt's Blue Oni in ''[[SkylandersTheMaskOfPower Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master]]'', both color-wise (as he is red and Gill is blue) and personality-wise. Throughout the book, Gill often tries words first and attempts to avoid antagonizing people if he can help it, whereas Wham-Shell tends to use violence first and isn't so cautious.

* DistressedDude: In ''[[SkylandersTheMaskOfPower Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master]]'', [[spoiler: he briefly becomes this when a brainwashed Wham-Shell pins him down under a suffocating blanket of sticky starfish. He's stuck that way until the Fish Master Crown is shattered]].

* FriendToAllChildren: He's seemingly fond of children according to one of Flynn's fables from the ''Book of Elements: Fire and Water''. Blobbers and several little Mabu had taken Wham-Shell's mace to use as a blatter ball bat. Despite running around searching in a [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness stressed out, panic-induced rage]], when he found his mace, he didn't get angry at all, and even joined in the game. And he still does to this day, although he refrains from using his mace as a bat.
* InformedAttribute: Two tie-in books suggest that [[AgentPeacock he likes his appearance and tries to keep himself looking good]]. It's noted in the ''Book of Elements: Fire and Water'' that he brushes his teeth 14 times a day with a coral brush and mashed fishscale toothpaste. He's also "least likely to let his gleaming carapace lose it's shine" according to . Whether any of these behaviors exist in-game at all is unknown.

* RedOniBlueOni: A somewhat downplayed example, but he is the Red Oni to Gill Grunt's Blue Oni in ''[[SkylandersTheMaskOfPower Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master]]'', both color-wise (as he is red and Gill is blue) and personality-wise. Throughout the book, Gill often tries words first and attempts to avoid antagonizing people if he can help it, whereas Wham-Shell tends to use violence first and isn't so cautious.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the main focus character in the tie-in novel "Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master".

* BlueIsHeroic: The symbol for Water is navy, just like the ocean, and every Water Skylander has a blue color scheme with the only exceptions being Wham-Shell, King Pen and Grave Clobber.

Ruler [[DependingOnTheWriter (a prince usually, depending on the source)]] of a peaceful underwater civilization, Wham-Shell repelled an invasion of trolls drilling for oil, though the invasion did scatter his people far and wide. He's since joined the Skylanders to defend against these sorts of atrocities.

* AgentPeacock: In a heavily downplayed and very much implied example, the books suggest that he likes his appearance and tries to keep himself looking good. It's noted that he brushes his teeth 14 times a day with a coral brush and mashed fishscale toothpaste. He's also "least likely to let his gleaming carapace lose it's shine". Whether any of these behaviors exist in-game at all is unknown.

* ADayInTheLimelight: He's the main focus character in the tie-in novel "Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master".

* VocalEvolution: In Spyro's Adventure he had a voice akin to Trigger Happy's but with a slight French accent and a little less laughter. In Giants and onwards, he got a deeper, less crazy sounding voice.

* TheBigGuy: In Spyro's Adventure, he has the biggest strength stat of all the Water Skylanders. Later on, Gill Grunt, Rip Tide and Punk Shock surpass him.

* AnIcePerson: He fights with fists and ice.

* AnIcePerson: Like Slam Bam, she's more affiliated with Ice than to Water.

* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: She can use her shield to not only protect herself, but push ice blocks into enemies.

* ShockAndAwe: Despite being a water Skylander, almost all of her attacks are electricity based. The ones that are water-based can amplify her electricity based ones.

* MakingASplash: A few of his upgrades involve water.

* ShamuFu: His body slam/sliding attack.

%%* TheLeader: He's one of two for the Swap Force (the other being Blast Zone).

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: He convinced his old pirate crew to eschew the usual plundering ways of the pirate in favor of freelance heroism.

* AnIcePerson

%%* BigDamnHeroes: He saw Blast Zone being ambushed, so Freeze Blade stepped in to help him.
* CuteLittleFangs

%%* LovableJock
* SpreadShot: His chakram can be upgraded to shoot icicles when he throws it.

%%* {{Cyclops}}: His dive suit gives this impression.

%%* TheLeader: Of the Senseis.

* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: A king who drove oil-hungry trolls away from his kingdom single-handedly.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: His accent usually sounds fairly Scottish but can sound rather American at times. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RifgXV12fe0 Compare "Hail to the Whale!" vs "Big and mighty numbers!" and you get two very different accents.]]

* AgentPeacock: In a heavily downplayed and very much implied example, the books suggest that he likes his appearance and tries to keep himself looking good such as brushing his teeth 14 times a day and letting his "gleaming carapace" lose it's shine being something that he's least likely to do. Whether any of these behaviors exist in-game at all is unknown.

-> '''Primary Attack:''' Malacostacan Mace

King of a peaceful underwater civilization, Wham-Shell repelled an invasion of trolls drilling for oil, though the invasion did scatter his people far and wide. He's since joined the Skylanders to defend against these sorts of atrocities.

* EleventhHourRanger: In a meta sense, but only if you had followed the series since day one. Wham-Shell alongside Camo and Warnado 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 Wham-Shell returned in ''Swap Force'' as a [=LightCore=] figure, where it was released in wave 3.

* TheBusCameBack: After being the Water Skylander of ''Spyro's Adventure'' to not return in ''Giants'', he returns in ''Swap Force'' as a [=LightCore=].
* CarryABigStick: He wields a mace in combat.

* OohMeAccentsSlipping: His accent flip-flops between sounding American and vaguely Scottish. Compare "Hail to the Whale!" vs "Big and mighty numbers!" and you get two very different accents.

* MakingASplash: Of course. Though note that not every Water Skylander has at least one sort of water attack. There are of course Slam Bam, Chill, Freeze Blade and King Pen who instead attack with ice (or snow in King Pen's case), but characters like Wham-Shell and Lob-Star don't attack with water in any way.

* BlueIsHeroic: The symbol for Water is in navy, just like the ocean, and every Water Skylanders has a blue color scheme with the only exceptions being Wham-Shell, King Pen and Grave Clobber.

* ThePiratesWhoDontDoAnything: Convinced his old crew to eschew their usual plundering ways in favor of doing heroic deeds.

* LuckilyMeShieldWillProtectMe: An upgrade allows him to hold up his shield to protect himself.

%%* {{Pirate}}

* DropTheHammer: The Shark, which behaves like one for all intents and purposes.

An ice cat decked out like a speed skater, with an icy chakram. When he was young, his family moved from a frozen wasteland to a place filled with lava lakes. This turned out to be quite a diffucult adjustment but eventually the ice cat got used to it and even discovered he could ice-skate on any surface... even lava. One day whilst setting a new frozen speed record Freeze Blade came across Blast Zone, who had been ambushed. After Freeze Blade defended him, Blast Zone was so impressed by his skill in battle that he introduced him to Master Eon, who invited him to join the Skylanders.

* AwesomeAussie: Has a distinct Australian accent. And is indeed awesome.

A famed chef and owner of a renowned five star restaurant, and master in ancient and secret martial arts style. He defeated a Leviathan that ate his restarant and the Fish King who happened to be dining there.

Dive-Clops is the twin brother of Eye-Brawl. His bat-wings were blasted off by pirates when he was young, plunging into the Swirling Sea. He was discovered by an underwater civilization who built him his dive suit. But when he ventured around a mysterious whirlpool in the ocean, he got pulled in and stayed there for thousands of years before reemerging in the present day.

%%* {{Cyclops}}: His divesuit gives this impression.

A former undercover agent for a top secret organization known as the Aqua Marines, who had sinister plans to destroy Skylands and betrayed Tidepool. After seeking out every one of her superiors and taking them down, she was asked by Master Eon to join the Skylanders. Tidepool was hesitant to trust them at first, and put them all through a truth test, which everone passed...except for Flynn.

An undersea princess who longed for adventure instead of the quiet life of royalty. One day, returning from one of her excursions, she found her home besieged by Snow Trolls, who were freezing everything. With her electric crossbow, she defeats the invaders and thaws out her kingdom.

* ElectrifiedBathtub: Her main two attacks are an electrified crossbow and a water balloon that leaves a puddle of water on the ground, combine them and you get this.

An seahorse and dragon hybrid born in an undersea kingdom around an the Pearl of Wisdom. Echo had trouble living near it since everyone who did has to speak in whispers while she had a gift - and it was loud. When some sea horses claimed the pearl and carried it with an unbreakable bubble, Echo used her gift, which was a sonar blast, to burst the bubble and blow away the sea horses.

Thumpback was once a member of the dreaded pirate crew of the Phantom Tide. But he was never really interested in piracy -- he instead liked being on a ship for the fishing. His passion eventually got him pulled overboard when he tried to catch a Leviathan Cloud Crab (lucky for him, as he wasn't on the Phantom Tide when it and its crew were later banished to the Chest of Exile), but he went on to become one of the first Skylanders.

* BellyFlopCrushing: His secondary attack allows him to do this and slide along the ground with his "Slippery Belly" upgrade allowing him to go further and his Soul Gem allowing him to spray water and starfish out of his blowhole.
* CallItKarma: A good variant. He only joined the Phantom Tide [[PiratesWhoDontDoAnything so he could use their pirate ship to go fishing.]] He winds up getting dragging off the ship and pulled miles away to become the first Water Skylander, while the rest of the crew [[SealedEvilInACan became trapped inside the Chest of Exile.]]

* IncitingIncident: Getting dragged of The Phantom Tide during an otherwise normal fishing experience is what sets his destiny in motion.

* AbnormalAmmo: When upgraded, his gun fires piranha-filled bubbles.

* MakingASplash: Wash Buckler's flintlock can be launch bubbles that trap enemies, and his soul gem lets him form a giant pirate ship made out of water and throw it into enemies.

* BottomlessMagazines: Initially averted with his water backpack, which has limited but regenerating water supply. Played straight once he gets the "Reserve Water Tank" upgrade in his Water Weaver path. This also applies when he stands in any amount of water large enough for him to get both feet in.

* MegaMaelstrom: His appropriately named "Wild Whirlpool" upgrade allows him to attack with one of these

Slam Bam lived a simple life on a glacier, making ice sculptures and ice surfing. That is, until Kaos destroyed the glacier, leaving him to drift on an iceberg for days until he landed on Eon's Island.

Chill was a decorated knight of the ice kingdom and the Snow Queen's captain of the guard. But then the armies of cyclops invaded and captured the queen, which Chill has never forgiven herself for. Chill has exiled herself from the kingdom until she can regain her honor, and is always keeping an eye out for news of her queen.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: She's one of the most human-looking Skylanders of the bunch, but her IcyBlueEyes as FourFingeredHands makes it unclear if she actually is human.

* IcyBlueEyes: Has deep blue sclerae that reflect her affiliation with ice.

* RedemptionQuest: She sees her inability to protect her queen as her greatest failure, and went into self-exile until she regains her honor.

An expert fighter in multiple forms of undersea combat; his skill was so great that it attracted the attention of Master Eon and Kaos. Eon wanted him to join the Skylanders, and Kaos sent a legion of Squidface Brutes to make sure he didn't. No one will forget the [[CurbStompBattle smack down]] Riptide unleashed that day, expect for the Brutes who don't remember much of anything.

* TheFamilyThatSlaysTogether: He's the twin brother of the Undead Giant, Eye-Brawl.

* TimeAbyss: He's twin to Eye Brawl, who was active 10,000 years in the past before being imprisoned in toy form on Earth. This makes him one of the oldest Skylanders in the series.

* TheLeader: Of the Senseis.
