Story

Vathek is an evil dragon who some fear that he may one day steal the Dragon's Throne to rule as Dragon King. One day, while Flavius was flying with Ramses, Vathek took the chance to sit on the Throne, in which he who sits on the throne rules all of Dragon's Peak. With the power of the Dragon Throne, Vathek became king of the Peak and betrayed Ramses, turning his brother into stone.

When the Skylander confronts Vathek, the evil dragon sends his henchmen to destroy them, but after even summoning more enemies with the power of the Dragon's Throne, the Skylander manages to defeat them all. Vathek then decides to confront the Skylander himself and engage them in battle, leaping off of the Dragon Throne. Before it seems a battle is about to begin, Flavius appears and takes position in the throne, using its power to turn Vathek to stone as punishment for betraying Ramses. Afterwards, Ramses sadly ponders on what to do with Vathek, at first suggesting banishment, but dismisses the idea when Flavius mentions that the frozen Vathek makes a "good statue".

3DS Version

Although having no role in Dragon's Peak, Vathek is seen flying through the skies of level as the Skylander makes their way through the lands. At the top of the Peak, Vathek appears and engages the Skylander in battle, with the Skylander emerging victorious.

Boss Fight (3DS Version Only)

As the boss fight between Vathek and the Skylander commences, the Skylander will have to fire at the bombs and sheep that slide into the arena by the waterfalls on the side to send them flying at Vathek to damage him. However, Vathek will occasionally blast fireballs at the Skylanders and will often shield himself with his wings to protect himself from the projectiles, so you'll have to launch the projectiles at the right time when the evil dragon lowers his wings to attack. Once he is inflicted with enough damage, Vathek will be defeated.
