"Life - what a mighty, humbling and beautiful thing that is"
- Skylanders: Ring of Heroes

The Life element is one of the eight original elements in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. These Skylanders are typically associated with nature, either controlling the wilderness, having a direct connection to the wilderness, or even being part of the wilderness. Plants and vines are often their go-to for attacking.

Camo

"Fruit punch!"
Voiced by: André Sogliuzzo (Giants onwards)

Camo is half-plant due to being hatched at the roots of the Tree of Life. As a result, he can make fruits and vegetables grow to the point of bursting almost instantly. Eon first noticed him when a melon blew up in his face, convincing the young dragon to join the Skylanders.

He returns in the Swap Force toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander called Thorn Horn Camo.


  • 11th-Hour Ranger: In a meta sense, but only if you had followed the series since day one. Camo alongside Wham-Shell 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 Camo returned in Swap Force, where his Series 2 form was released in wave 3.
  • Almighty Janitor: He doubles as Eon's personal gardener.
  • Breath Weapon: He spits life energy that take the shape of balls of lights, described as miniature suns.
  • Blazing Inferno Hellfire Sauce: His Firecracker Peppers are the hottest in Skylands. They forced Eruptor to lie down in a dark room for a week, and Eruptor isn't able to look at spicy food as a result.
  • Dashing Hispanic: The portrayal of his voice, as of Giants.
  • Deployable Cover: His melon ring can double as a shield, since it surrounds him and causes him to briefly hide underground. The final upgrade on his "Melon Master" path encourages this by allowing the melon ring to be held indefinitely.
  • Edible Ammunition: He can unlock the ability to grow a ring of melons around him, which proceed to launch out and blow up upon contact with an enemy. His secondary ability from the start is to send a vine with explosive peppers.
  • Green Thumb: He has the ability to make plants grow explosively fast.
  • Heal Thyself: Get three of his Breath Weapon projectiles to circle around him at once and his HP will regenerate for a short time.
  • Hybrid Monster: Half dragon, half plant.
  • Orbiting Particle Shield: After acquiring his Soul Gem upgrade, holding the attack button down allows up to three of his Breath Weapon projectiles to orbit around him for protection.
  • Plant Person: A plant-dragon hybrid, shown by his green coloration and leaf tail.
  • The Prankster: A rather notorious one, in-universe. Likes to use his plant powers for mayhem. In fact, a prank he pulled on Master Eon got him recruited.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: Camo's secondary attack is to lay down a vine of exploding peppers, while he can also release a ring of exploding melons with his tertiary attack. Each upgrade path focuses on a particular plant: his pepper path lets him send out vines of exploding peppers quicker, while his melon path lets him send more melons.

"Locked and loaded!"
Notable variants: Elite Zook
Voiced by: Fred Tatasciore (Giants onwards)
Primary Attack: Bazooka Attack
Secondary Attack: Foliage Barrier
Tertiary Attack: Mortar Attack
Soul Gem Ability: MIRV Mortar
Wow Pow Ability: Target Lock

Zook is one of a race known as Bambazookers, who spent their entire lives standing in one place — until Zook realized that he could move away from his spot. He became a famous hero, and hopes that he'll gain even more fame as a member of the Skylanders.

He returns in the Giants toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander.


  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: He was an Attack type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
  • Bamboo Technology: Literally, as he has a bamboo carved bazooka.
  • BFG: His bazooka, which can fire shots that explode into shrapnel or launch pineapples like mortar shells.
  • Glory Seeker: His primary motivation for joining the Skylanders.
  • Plant Person: A walking bamboo shoot.
  • Recursive Ammo: His Soul Gem ability upgrades his mortar bombs to explode into three smaller bombs upon landing.
  • Stealth Pun: A bamboo shoot who shoots things.
  • Swiss-Army Weapon: Of the more mundane variant. Zook's bazooka is also used sometimes as a telescope, a didgeridoo, and as a lunchbox. He sometimes also uses it as a place to sit.

"Silent, but deadly!"
Notable variants: Legendary Stealth Elf, Dark Stealth Elf, Elite Stealth Elf, Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf, Instant Super Shot Stealth Elf
Voiced by: Audrey Wasilewski (Giants onwards)
Primary Attack: Blade Slash
Secondary Attack: Stealthier Decoy
Tertiary Attack: Arboreal Acrobatics
Soul Gem Ability: Sylvan Regeneration
Wow Pow Ability: Knife Blender (Series 2), Surprise, Tiger! (Series 3)

Awaking in the forest with no memory of who she was, she was adopted by a ninja-like creature and raised in the art of stealth. She now searches to find where she came from.

She returns in the Giants toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander and in Swap Force as a Series 3 Skylander called Ninja Stealth Elf. She has a mini version (formerly a sidekick) in Trap Team called Whisper Elf.

In SuperChargers, she comes in contact with a Rift Engine and gets promoted to a SuperCharger as Super Shot Stealth Elf.


  • Action Girl: One of the most well-known Action Girls of the Skylanders.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: She was an Attack type Skylander in Ring of Heroes after the revamp, after initially being an Expert Type.
  • Breakout Character: Just look at the size of her bio compared to any other character on this page.
  • Cleavage Window: Her top exposes her cleavage. Best seen in these images.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: As Dark Stealth Elf. She and every other Dark Skylander from Swap Force (with the exception of Spyro who already had a Dark counterpart since the first game) were corrupted by the same Petrified Darkness Kaos uses to evilize the creatures of the Cloudbreak Islands during a mission to stop him from utilizing it. They were able to tame the darkness that got inside them thanks to Spyro, who had already been struck by darkness and learned to control it.
  • Death by a Thousand Cuts: It can be argued that this is her playstyle in a nutshell. Her attacks aren't the strongest of the Skylanders roster, but she is fast when she attacks, allowing her to use her already unlocked combo more frequently. This is even more the case if the Pook Blade Saint path is chosen, where the first upgrade is unlocking her second and third combos, which also does small damage to enemies multiple times, especially Blade Fury.
  • Depending on the Writer: Some of what she says and does in the games and commercials tend to give her behavior traits. The books and comics, meanwhile, tends to make her out more as being Comically Serious with No Social Skills — Except for the book of Elements, which shows her more as Brilliant, but Lazy (uses her duplicates to get out of doing anything she doesn't want to do herself).
  • Dual Wielding: A pair of daggers.
  • Equipment Upgrade: She has two separate upgrades for making her daggers more powerful. The first one is the second purchasable upgrade "Dragonfang Dagger", while the second one "Elven Sunblade" is only available if the Pook Blade Saint path is chosen. Her Series 3 counterpart does get new daggers once her new Wow Pow is bought, but they don't make her attacks any stronger and is mostly just there for show.
  • Expressive Ears: In her defeated animation, her ears point down as she sits down on the ground.
  • Flechette Storm: In the 3DS games, where she no longer has Arboreal Acrobatics as an ability [thanks to them being platformer games where everyone can double jump], and her Stealthier Decoy ability being changed into a dash attack version called Stealthy Decoy, Stealth Elf now has Thorn Throw attacks, which is a downplayed version of this trope. Gets completely straight with her final 3DS upgrade called Thorn Storm, which still only doubles as Death of a Thousand Cuts in Spyro's Adventure, but becomes much more effective in later games, where it's just great for clearing huge crowds of enemies from a distance.
  • Flying Weapon: The last upgrade on her Pook Blade Saint path is called "Shadowsbane Blade Dance", which causes four blades to fly around her and help her cause more damage to enemies. They also turn her tertiary attack from a non-attack roll move into something that can actually deal damage.
  • Fragile Speedster: In the 3DS version, at least. She can't take a hit but she's your best bet for any speed challenge and the only one of the starters who stands a chance in the second half of Dark Mirror.
  • Super-Speed: The "Speed" stat icon is literally an image of her running. And in terms of card stats, all of her figures have speed as their highest.
  • Gratuitous Ninja: Especially as Ninja Stealth Elf, which gives her a traditional ninja outfit.
  • Highly-Visible Ninja
  • Healing Factor: Her Soul Gem ability "Sylvan Regeneration" heals her over time.
  • Mundane Utility: Likes using her decoy to do things she doesn't want to do herself, from listening to boring meetings and conversations to doing typical household chores.
  • Ninja Log: Her second attack is to vanish and leave a decoy in her place. After upgrading, it leaves behind a dummy, and if the Forest Ninja path is chosen, it can leave behind three dummies and have them appear with spinning sawblades.
  • Ninja Run: While she doesn't do this in-game, her Series 2 figure has her pose be her running like this.
  • No Social Skills: Known for being impatient, temperamental, and a bit too direct. Her mini-counterpart, Whisper Elf, is likewise able to make situations completely awkward by speaking her mind too much (when she even speaks at all).
  • The Leader: She's the main Skylander and leader-like figure for the Life element.
  • Parental Abandonment: Her story starts with her waking up inside a hollow tree one day and having no memory of her family or why she ended up there.
  • Something We Forgot: At the end of the Giants Easter Surprise commercial, thanks to her hiding skills during the Easter egg hunt being a bit too good....
    Stealth Elf (late in the middle of the night): Yeah...I told you I was good at this. (Beat) Guys...? GUYS!
  • Spin Attack: Her Series 2 Wow Pow is spinning around with her daggers.
  • Starter Mon: She has been included in three different starter packs. Her Series 1 counterpart was included in the 3DS starter pack for Spyro's Adventure, and both her regular Series 3 counterpart and Dark version were in the starter packs for Swap Force (regular and Dark Edition respectively).
    • In the original release of Ring of Heroes, she was one of the three Skylanders that were given to the player at the beginning of the game.

Whisper Elf

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/whisper_elf_promo.jpg
  • Fun Size: To Stealth Elf. She looks like a Chibi version of Stealth Elf, and her high-pitched voice makes her quite adorable.
  • The Medic: She makes a reappearance in SuperChargers as part of Super Shot Stealth Elf's Soul Gem. With it, Whisper Elf will show up and give Stealth Elf a health bonus every time the latter defeats an enemy and is not at full health. This makes Whisper Elf the only Skylander who makes a reappearance in another game outside of being fully playable in said game and not being an NPC like some Skylanders became one game later in Imaginators.
  • Ninja Log: Can leave scarecrow-like decoys in her place just like her mentor, though hers appears to be made of yarn, as opposite to Stealth Elf's straw decoys.
  • The Noseless: Yet she has nostrils.
  • No Social Skills: Another trait she carries on from her bigger counterpart. She is known for speaking her mind too much. When she talks, at all.
  • Spotlight-Stealing Squad: Only mini from Trap Team to return in SuperChargersas a healing unit for Super Shot Stealth Elf's Life Gem skill, Health Elf....

Super Shot Stealth Elf

Click here to see Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf
Click here to see the Stealth Stinger
Primary Attack: Dagger Cannon
Secondary Attack: Say Hello
Tertiary Attack: Circle Slash
Soul Gem Ability: Health Elf


  • Abnormal Ammo: Her Gatling gun uses daggers as ammunition. This is lampshaded in her primary attack's description:
    Press <primary attack button> and hold to lock onto enemies and shoot daggers at them. Yes, it's a gun that shoots daggers.
  • Ace Pilot: She flies a helicopter.
  • Adaptational Modesty: Even if her normal outfit isn't the most Stripperific thing in the world, it does have a Cleavage Window and bares her midriff. As Super Shot Stealth Elf, she wears overalls that covers her entire body.
  • Alliterative Name: Super Shot Stealth Elf.
  • Attack! Attack! Attack!: Both the normal version of Stealth Elf and this version was included in Ring of Heroes. Super Shot Stealth Elf was an attack Skylander both pre-and post-revamp.
  • Cleavage Window: Not in the console games, but the SuperChargers Racing supplemental game, where her jumpsuit is zipped down to expose her cleavage. Also shows up in some images.
  • Form-Fitting Wardrobe: Her jumpsuit looks to match her body pretty snuggly.
  • Fragile Speedster: The Stealth Stinger isn't very strong and powerful with its shots, but can rapid-fire on enemies and has a high acceleration rate.
    • The same can be said about Super Shot Stealth Elf, as she has even lower health than her original counterpart, but is no less faster.
  • Gatling Good: To replace her knives, she instead uses a Gatling gun that fires daggers at opponents.
  • Irony: Her signature vehicle is a helicopter, which are known for being very loud and not really fitting a ninja. Even the name of it has "Stealth" in it.
  • Long-Range Fighter: With the exception of her teritary attack "Circle slash", all of Stealth Elf's attacks as this version are now long-ranged as opposed to the close-ranged attacks she originally had.
  • The Medic: Her Soul Gem has her summon Whisper Elf, now as Health Elf, for the purpose of healing after damage is taken.
  • More Dakka: Both she and the Stealth Stinger can rapid-fire attacks at enemies.
  • Shout-Out: Her secondary attack is called "Say hello" in the upgrades menu and one upgrade for it is called "To my little friend".
  • Spectacular Spinning: Her Arboreal Acrobatics ability has been replaced with the ability to spin around her Gatling gun. Unlike her original ability, this one can damage enemies without having to pick a specific upgrade path.
  • Starter Mon: She is included in the starter pack for both SuperChargers and SuperChargers Racing.
  • Stealth Expert: Except now she leaves her Gatling gun behind while doing so. The Stealth Stinger is also the only vehicle capable of doing this.
  • Thememobile: The Stealth Stinger is one to both her and plants.
  • The Turret Master: When hidden, she now leaves her Gatling gun behind to act as both this and a distraction. It can even be equipped to home in on and fire at enemies automatically.

"Drop the hammer!"

Originally a magical tree, Stump Smash awoke from a long nap to find that trolls had cut down the entire forest — including himself. He's still upset over the incident, and has vowed to protect Skylands from such incidents happening again.

He returns in the Giants toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander.


  • A Day in the Limelight: He's the main focus character in the tie-in novel "Stump Smash Crosses the Bone Dragon".
  • The Big Guy: In Spyro's Adventure, he has the biggest strength stat of all the Life Skylanders.
  • Healing Factor: His Soul Gem ability, "Waterlogged", gives him this when floating in water (or when in a Water Power Zone in Swap Force and beyond).
  • Plant Person: He's an ent.
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Inflicted this on the trolls who cut him and his fellow ent friends down with the giant hammers he ended up getting as a result of said trolls.
  • Spectacular Spinning: One of his "Stump Crusher Combos" has him spinning around with both Stumpfists extended.
  • When Trees Attack: Used to be a magical tree until his branches were cut off. Enraged, he uprooted himself and used his newly-acquired mallet hands to pummel the trolls responsible. He's vowed to defend Skylands from evil ever since.

Notable variants: LightCore Shroomboom
Voiced by: Matthew Moy
Primary Attack: Slingshot
Secondary Attack: Mushroom Ring
Tertiary Attack: Launch Paratroopers
Soul Gem Ability: Self-Slingshot
Wow Pow Ability: High Spore (Series 2)

Shroomboom was unfortunate enough to be grown in Kaos' garden, him and his friends bred to be pizza toppings. Not content with this fate, he made himself a slingshot and organized an escape.

He returns in the Trap Team toy lineup as a Series 2 Skylander called Sure Shot Shroomboom. He has a LightCore version of him in Giants.


  • Abnormal Ammo: He fires exploding mushrooms from his slingshot.
  • Brats with Slingshots: His primary weapon is a slingshot made from a twig and spider silk, using it to launch bouncing mushrooms that explode.
  • The Bus Came Back: He sat out from getting a repose in Swap Force, but returned in Trap Team as the only repose of the Life element (if you count away minis).
  • Cephalothorax: He is literally a walking mushroom, with no body or neck, only arms and legs growing out of him.
  • Cyclops: He only has one giant eye.
  • Death from Above: His Paramushroom spores are fired into the air and drop down on enemies. Exaggerated in his Paramushroom Promotion path, where he can fire out three of these per shot with no max limit on screen.
  • Difficult, but Awesome: His Series 2 Wow Pow “High Spore” can be problematic to pull off, not because Shroomboom has to leave himself open to load himself into his slingshot, but because the mushrooms needed for it can’t appear unless he is on an open field that has space for them. If he is in an open field, the power can be pretty darn powerful and useful due to him being harder to hit when he’s bouncing around the mushrooms.
  • Human Cannonball: His Soul Gem ability is loading himself on a giant slingshot and shooting himself at enemies.
  • Mushroom Man: But of course.
  • Pinball Projectile: His Wow Pow "High Spore" utilizes this, himself being the projectile. Shroomboom makes mushroom pinball bumpers and bounces off them.
  • Power Glows: LightCore Shroomboom's eye glows, as well as the mushroom in his hand.
  • Status Effects: His Paramushroom spores can be upgraded to give foes a "mushroomized" status, which acts like poison.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: As he grew up in Kaos’ garden of pizza toppings, he is deadly afraid of pizza night and anything that is used in making one.

"Nature calls!"
Notable variants: Legendary Zoo Lou
Voiced by: Gideon Emery

The latest in a long line of shamans, Zoo Lou spent many years studying under the Seven Strange Mages of Skylands. Returning to find that the trolls had ravaged his home, he used his attunement with nature to drive them out, leading Double Trouble to recommend him to Eon.


  • The Beastmaster: Not in the traditional sense because they're spirits, but he still controls some fearsome beasts.
  • Combat Medic: He was a Support type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. And pretty much all of his abilities involved supporting his teammates in some way. He could heal one ally for 30% of their max health, his two attack abilities can increase either the accuracy or attack on all teammates for two and three turns respectively, his passive ability removes one weakening status effect on every team member if Zoo Lou has five or more beneficial status effects and his leader ability allows a Skylander to recover 5% of their max health after they recover from break status.
  • Full-Boar Action: Can summon a spirit boar that can attack and be ridden on.
  • Summon Magic: He fights using animal spirits.

A living beehive, and home to a peaceful race of bees that create a magical honey. When Kaos heard about the bees and their honey, he sent his minions to steal it, only to get beaten by Bumble Blast. After this encounter, he became a defender of nature, and later joined the Skylanders.

He has a LightCore version of him in Swap Force.


  • Bee-Bee Gun: His Beezooka fires homing bees at enemies.
  • Homing Projectile: The bees he fires will track opponents that are covered in honey, turning them into this.
  • Power Glows: LightCore Bumble Blast's Beezooka lights up.
  • Spread Shot: His first charged attack in the Bee Keeper path makes him fire out a spread.
  • Sticky Situation: He can cover foes in honey, which slows them down and also makes them take more damage from bees.
  • When Trees Attack: He's a variation on this, being an enchanted beehive attached to a tree, but otherwise fits the trope.

Voiced by: Billy West

Created by troll experiments, Food Fight led the local Garden Patrol to victory over their would-be harvesters. After further helping them fend off an invasion of gnomes intent on wrapping the asparagus people in bacon, Food Fight caught the eye of Master Eon.


  • Abnormal Ammo: He bombards his foes with tomatoes and zucchini guts.
  • Anthropomorphic Food: Specifically, an artichoke.
  • Combat Medic: He was a Support type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. His passive ability increased the heal up effect on him by half at the start of each turn, as well as increasing the effect resistance rate on himself.
  • Edible Ammunition: His primary ability launches tomatoes.
  • Green Thumb: Both figuratively, with his Blooms of Doom, and literally, with his Green Thumb upgrade.
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: The circumstances of his creation; the Trolls intended to improve their crops, but instead created a Skylander who then led an army to defeat them.
  • Papa Wolf: In the IDW comics, when Kaos infiltrates Skylanders Academy while the minis are on their first day, Food Fight fights against him with all he’s got.
  • Produce Pelting: Weaponized as his whole shtick.
  • Recursive Ammo: With his Green Thumb power, tomatoes that hit the ground will blossom into even larger tomatoes, which can be collected to add a bit more kick.
  • Starter Mon: He is included in the starter pack for Trap Team, while his Dark counterpart is included in the Dark Edition starter pack for the same game.
  • Stuff Blowing Up: Artichoke blooms, used rather like timed land mines.

    High Five 

High Five

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/high_five.jpg
"Buzz off!"
Voiced by: Tom Kenny

High Five was not allowed to compete in any dragonfly racing tournaments due to his age, instead having to watch his brother compete for the Trophy of Sparx. One year, trolls stole the trophy, so High Five leapt into action, using his flying skills to take them down. He not only got to win the trophy, but he also got an invitation to the Skylanders.


  • Cast from Hit Points: His Fly Slam attack can be upgraded to be charged, but charging it consumes HP. Though unlike Ghost Roaster, High Five's health bar can never reach zero no matter how much charging the attack takes.
  • Deadly Gas: His first upgrade is the ability to have his poison pellets leave lingering toxic clouds on impact.
  • Pun-Based Creature: He's a dragon with the wings of an insect — that is, a literal dragonfly.
  • Technicolor Toxin: His poison pellets are purple, similar to Rattle Shake's venom projectiles.

"Be afraid of the bark!"
Notable variants: Gnarly Tree Rex
Primary Attack: Shockwave Slam
Secondary Attack: Sequoia Stampede
Tertiary Attack: Photosynthesis Cannon
Soul Gem Ability: Woodpecker Pal

Once just a normal tree, Tree Rex was mutated into a living being by pollution from the nearby Arkeyan war machine factory. He now uses his power to crush anything that threatens nature.

He has a mini version (formerly a sidekick) in Trap Team called Barkley.


  • Arm Cannon: His Photosynthesis Cannon, which allows him to launch energy bullets at enemies.
  • Charged Attack: These are Tree Rex's entire gimmick. With the right upgrades, almost every attack he uses can be charged up to do more damage. He even has an actual attack wherein he charges at his foes, spiky arm-first.
  • Defend Command: He was a Defense type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down. His first attack as well as his leader skill raises his defense after use, while the other one can heal him and his passive ability does the same to him and his team members.
  • Energy Weapon: He fires out sunbeams at his opponents with his Photosynthesis cannon. The charged version averts this, though.
  • Gaia's Vengeance: Was once a normal tree until the Arkeyans poisoned him with their pollution. He then went on to wreck them as revenge.
  • Gentle Giant: Can't get any gentler than a Life element Giant whose lines when playing as him are generally more playful than the others.
  • Ground Pound: Charge his Shockwave Slam for a powerful one.
  • The Leader: He's the primary Giant seen and appears to be the leader of them.
  • Right Hand of Doom: His right hand is bulked out and packs a huge punch. It also has a cannon.
  • Starter Mon: He is included in all starter packs for Giants, and is the only one included if the booster pack is bought.
    • His mini-counterpart Barkley is included in the 3DS starter pack for Trap Team.
  • When Trees Attack: A huge tree that goes around smashing Arkeyans.
  • Wave-Motion Gun: His Lumbering Laserer upgrade path allows him to charge his Arm Cannon and fire out one of these.

"Clear the air!"
Voiced by: Tom Kenny

A ninja skunk whose master believed in the art of surprise, and repeatedly used Jump Scares to teach his student how to react quickly. When one such surprise awakened his skunky instincts, the resulting stench cloud chased the old master away, so Stink Bomb started developing his own martial techniques.


  • Combat Medic: He was a Support type Skylander in Ring of Heroes after the revamp, after initially being an Expert Type. Though he doesn't have any abilities that can heal himself or any team member, but he can grant Stealth on himself if an enemy evades his attack.
  • Deadly Gas: His skunk stench cloud can damage enemies.
  • Gasshole: He's a skunk, and his stench in advertisements is usually followed by a foghorn.
  • Highly-Visible Ninja: If the gi, arm and leg padding didn't tip you off, the shuriken probably will.
  • Smelly Skunk: Stink Bomb weaponizes this trope, using his stink clouds to conceal his presence and release nasty gas to poison enemies.
  • Smoke Out: Is able to make himself invisible to enemies via a cloud of stink gas.
  • Stock Ninja Weaponry: Shurikens, Smoke Out ability, and one upgrade path allows him to place Caltrops on the floor.

Grilla Drilla became the first of his kind in a long time to venture to the surface, defeating the trolls and rescuing his lord. For his bravery, he was selected as the new royal champion, but instead, he sought out and joined the Skylanders.


  • Combat Medic: He was a Support type Skylander in Ring of Heroes, both pre- and post-revamp, before the game closed down.
  • The Minion Master: His Monkey Master path, where his ability to summon monkeys to attack is improved, as he can summon four of them at a time to fight enemies.
  • This Is a Drill: Not only does his bottom armor have the ability to turn into a drill, but his gauntlets have similar abilities.
  • The Turret Master: His legs are able to create turrets that fire coconuts or bananas.

  • Animal Motifs: The Buzz Wing, in its basic form, is most definitely styled on a dragonfly, though with other upgrade sets, it also can be made to resemble a bee, a butterfly, or a flying beetle.
  • Break Out the Museum Piece: The Buzz Wing is explicitly described as a venerable war machine that Thrillipede had pulled from a museum to help fight against Kaos once again.
  • Hell-Bent for Leather: Wears a supremely stylish leather bomber jacket, to go with his Old Flying Ace persona.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Has four arms that he uses to either throw grenades or punch opponents.
  • Pin-Pulling Teeth: As seen in the above image, his toy depicts him doing this.
  • Old Soldier: An Ace Pilot, daredevil and decorated veteran of the Great Greeble War with over 300 victories to his name, and is also one of Buzz's oldest friends. He's more or less a millipede version of Chuck Yeager with a penchant for grenades.
  • Throw Down the Bomblet: His primary attack is throwing cocoon-shaped grenades that can be upgraded to release swarms of dragonflies that slow enemies and his secondary attack can be upgraded to throw sticky grenades that can be stuck to enemies or put on the ground.
