Skylanders

The Skylanders are the legendary heroes and the protectors of Skylands, a magical world that has floating islands in the sky. Using their magical powers and machinery, the Skylanders defended Skylands for generations from various threats. For generations, the Skylanders worked with the Portal Masters in keeping peace and balance in their world, battling the forces of darkness, and protecting the Core of Light. The Skylanders have an unbreakable bond with their Portal Masters. Though they are not servants, the Skylanders chose to serve their Portal Master and do so eagerly. Each Skylander is associated with one of the ten elements of Skylands: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, Dark, Light or Tech.

Spyro the Dragon

Spyro (voiced by Josh Keaton) is a magic-elemental purple Dragon from the Spyro the Dragon franchise who is the leader of the Core Skylanders. His catchphrase is "All Fired Up!". Hailing from a line of rare magical purple dragons, Spyro has been a devoted battler for good and embarked on many adventures. His heroism and exploits has been chronicled by the old Portal Masters and the Ancients until Master Eon finally reached out and invited Spyro to become of Skylands' most valued protectors. He was the one who inspired Lightning Rod to join the Skylanders.

Giants have the ability to lift, throw, and destroy trees, towers, rocks, and other things that normal Skylanders can't destroy. In the final battle against the Arkeyans, the Giants sacrificed themselves and were shot to Earth where they have been buried underground ever since. The Giants were considered a myth until the events of Skylanders: Giants, when the Skylanders unearth them upon Kaos' return. Among the Giant Skylanders are:

The Trap Masters are charged with the duty of tracking down and apprehending the most notorious villains in Skylands. They serve as the guards of Cloudcracker Prison in order to prevent them from escaping. With their Traptanium weapons, the Trap Masters set out to recapture the notorious villains in Skylands after they were sprung from Cloudcracker Prison by Kaos in order to strengthen his army by the events of Skylanders: Trap Team. Among the Trap Masters are:

SuperChargers

The SuperChargers are Skylanders that are trained to pilot the most powerful vehicles in Skylands as seen in Skylanders: SuperChargers.

Sidekicks/Minis

The Sidekicks are miniature versions of existing Skylanders. According to descriptions, they are from a parallel world where everything is smaller. Back in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Giants, and Swap Force, they could only follow Skylanders around once placed on the Portal of Power. But as of Skylanders: Trap Team, they are now considered as Minis and can now be as playable as any Skylander figures. However, they share the same powers and abilities with their normal counterparts.

Capturable Villains

In Skylanders: Trap Team, these villains are the most wanted villains in Skylands and had been previously apprehended by the Trap Masters. Most of the villains here are members of the Doom Raiders, the most powerful villains in Skylands who caused havoc all over Skylands from their hideout in the Savage Badlands, until met their match when the Trap Masters found their hideout, defeated them, and remanded them to Cloudcracker Prison. Kaos sprung them from Cloudcracker using his Evil Frequency Modulator of Evil Doom in order to strengthen his army while the Golden Queen seeks to use the strongest villains to build her Doom Raiders group to cause havoc in Skylands. Using magical Traps, Portal Masters are able to recapture these villains and use them to fight for good. If the person doesn't have any of the traps or if the current trap is full, the villains are transferred to the Skylanders Academy's Villain Vault to await the swap out. At the start of the game, each of the villains can only be used for 30 seconds which will get longer as the game progresses. Trap Masters have longer time with a trappable villain and recharge the timer faster[6] Only the trappable villains can open the Villain Stashes. Kaos is also a capturable villain, but he turns evil again in the next game, Skylanders: Superchargers. The capturable villains are:

Antagonists
