#core skylanders

Gill Grunt is a water core from Spyro’s Adventure. His primary attack is to shoot a harpoon from his harpoon gun, while his secondary is to shoot a stream of water. His tertiary is activating his water jet pack so he can fly a short distance above the ground. His upgrade paths enhance his harpoons (top) and his water spray (bottom). I would recommend the water spray path, as it unlocks the ability to have the water gun and jetpack never run out of water, which is very useful. His water gun does good damage with fantastic knockback. I definitely enjoyed him, but I think he's a little basic. Gill Grunt is a true longranger with a dash ability. It's noteworthy, and he's very beginner friendly, but he's a little boring for an experienced player. Overall: 7/10. I enjoyed him, but there are better longrangers in later games.

If you want to play a similar skylander, Gill Grunt plays similarly to other fast longrangers, like Flameslinger and Trigger Happy (both of Spyro's Adventure)

If you like to play co-op, Gill Grunt would play well with a shortranger, like Stealth Elf or Terrafin (both of Spyro's Adventure)

Shadow caster, a dark spell punk who turned to the side of good after going on a journey to grow powerful. His catchphrase is "Cast the Darkness!" But I forgot it on his picture.

Then there's Lancelight, who's name isn't squished together yet. It's a pun name. He was ridiculed as a kid because his wings didn't grow in properly and he couldn't fly, but he still became a hero anyway. I also accidentally forgot his catchphrase, which is "Pierce the Heavens!"

After Lance is a recreation of a scrapped Skylander. Remember Zap? How he was gonna be a blob monster named Tar-clops? This resign leans into the "Tar" part of his name, hence why he's now a living blob of pollution. He was born from the careless dumping of toxic waste and actually goes on to clean the environments he visits by eating pollutants.

Shimmer is a Rainbow Tanooki or Racoon dog, and she vowed revenge against Kaos after he banished her entire species to another dimension. Kaos hated how cute they were and he was also allergic.

I actually wasn't a big fan of Skylanders Academy... but the idea of Spyro and Dark Spyro splitting into two separate entities combined with the 3DS games giving Dark Spyro his own unique moveset made me want to turn him into his own character. He named himself Ebon, and he was born when Eon quickly expelled darkness from Spyro's body.

Finally there's Bug zapper, cause I thought an electric firefly would be cute. He was once a,normal firefly, but he landed on a lightning rod a wizard was using and he was struck by enchanted lightning.
