Background

Personality

Eruptor is a hot head with a strong dislike for anything evil, so whenever something bad threatens his world, he quickly erupts... quite literally. He never shies away from speaking his mind. Eruptor also has a case of indigestion, posssessing a habit of burping up a pool of molten lava whenever he feels nauseous or startled.

Biography

Eruptor is a force of nature, hailing from a species that lived deep in the underground of a floating volcanic island until a massive eruption launched their entire civilization to the surface. He's a complete hot head -- steaming, fuming, and quite literally erupting over almost anything. To help control his temper, he likes to relax in lava pools, particularly because there are no crowds.

Story

Skylanders: The Machine of Doom

Template:SpoilerStart Eruptor was one of the Skylanders who attended Gill Grunt's special singing concert of as a way to celebrate their latest victory over the forces of darkness (even though the lava monster had insisted that he would rather do something more fun – like boiling his own head). After Hugo and Flynn arrived to tell them of the Mabu Market being attacked by flying sheep, Master Eon sent Spyro, Gill Grunt, and Eruptor to investigate. There, they were attacked by flying sheep and thrown vegatables, which were later revealed to be the work of invisible trolls led by a Spell Punk who were searching for an artifact called the Chattering Key, Kaos was after.

Upon discovering that the Chattering Key was an artifact used to unlock a tomb that contained an ancient Arkeyan weapon, Eruptor joined Spyro, Boomer, and Gill Grunt with Flynn on a quest to retrieve the key that laid in the Forest of Fear. In the Forest of Fear, Eruptor fell victim to the Fungus Rings of Despair, and his worst fears came to life as hallucinations - being trapped in cold snow and his eternal flame having gone out. He was later freed by Spyro, and the lava monster continued his trek with the other Skylanders. When the Skylanders retrieved the Chattering Key, Kaos appeared, having captured Flynn, and forced them to give him the Key in exchange for Flynn's life. Kaos then used an incantation to summon a tomb to the Pyramid of Just Rewards that contains the Arkeyan weapon, the Machine of Doom.

With the help of the Chattering Key, the Skylanders entered the pyramid through the other side and reached the Machine of Doom before Kaos did. Boomer, fascinated by the Machine, tried to take control of it, but failed as it began breaking apart and the pyramid was starting to crumbling. It was soon revealed that it was all Kaos' plan from the start, that he knew that the Skylanders would attempt to seize the Machine of Doom, which was really a trap made by the Arkeyans to capture those who attempted to control the Machine to destroy the Core of Light, and have the heroes buried alive. However, Kaos' plan failed as Boomer managed to control the Machine of Doom and used it to escape the crumbling pyramid with the other Skylanders, and the Machine breaks apart. Upon their victory, Gill Grunt started to sing again, much to Eruptor's annoyance. Template:SpoilerEnd

Spin-off Stories

Ice Scream

Eruptor, Spyro and Stealth Elf were assigned by Master Eon to find out what was wrong at Blistering Beach after hearing troublesome rumors. Upon arriving there, they discovered that the beach was covered in a blanket of snow. The Skylanders were then greeted by a Mabu named Sandyfuzz, who explained to them of a nearby sleeping ice basilisk who was the source of the winter temperature on the beach and had froze anyone who tried waking it up into blocks of ice. Knowing that the only way to destroy a basilisk was to make it look at its own reflection, Eruptor tried to attack it head-on, but the ice basilisk awakened and its gaze froze the lava monster solid.

While Stealth Elf was distracting the basilisk using multiple doubles of herself, Spyro used Eruptor's block of ice to make the monster look at its own reflection, therefore destroying it. The basilisk's destruction freed the beach from the grip of winter and melted the ice prisons containing the Mabu and Eruptor. The Skylanders were given ice-lollies by Sandyfuzz on behalf of the Mabu of Blistering Beach but Eruptor melted the ice-pops, insisting that he and his friends had enough of snow for one day.

Abilities

Eruptor has the power to hurl and spew fireballs of molten rock, and unleash a lava plume around him like a volcanic eruption.
