Sonic Boom
Template:Characterbox (Skylanders) Template:Q Sonic Boom is a black griffin who is one of the 32 main playable Skylanders in the spin-off Spyro game, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
Abilities
Sonic Boom has the ability to shoot sonic waves from her mouth at her enemies. She can also toss out her eggs and her hatchlings will emerge out of their egg shells to attack surrounding enemies and follow Sonic Boom around for a short while.
When the griffin hatchlings are released from their eggs, they attack surrounding enemies on foot for a short while until a later power upgrade allows them to hatch out as young griffons big enough to gain the ability to fly. After a while, they magically return to their egg shells due to the wizard's curse and must be released from their eggs again before repeating the attacking process.
For her specialization paths, she can either chose to upgrade her Egg Toss hatchlings into being more easily usable or improve her Roar attack's potential range and damage.

Biography
Long ago, Sonic Boom took refuge high atop a mountain peak in the far reaches of Skylands. Away from the mystical dangers of the outside world, she had hoped to keep her griffin hatchlings safe. But a devious wizard tracked her down and placed a wicked curse on the eggs. Once hatched, the young griffins can live for only mere moments before they magically return to their shells. Fortunately, Sonic Boom has trained them to attack unsuspecting evil-doers during these short moments. Not the finest example of parenting, but quite effective in battle. Wanting to prevent such evil from happening to others, Sonic Boom joined the Skylanders and has trained her young to defend Skylands each time they are hatched.

Trivia
- Sonic Boom doesn't wear her silver helmet and armor in few of her Upgrade pictures.
- Her silver bracers look similar to the bracers Cynder wears as her main accessory in Dawn of the Dragon and when she was under Malefor's control in A New Beginning.
- Before Cynder was announced as a playable character in Skylanders, some fans thought of Sonic Boom as a griffon version of Cynder due to them wearing similar silver bracers around their limbs and the fact that they also wield an element that is associated with the sky (Air and Wind).
- Sonic Boom is the sixth playable female character in the Spyro series. (The first being Sheila, the second being Cynder, the third being Stealth Elf, the fourth being Whirlwind, and the fifth being Hex).
- She is the third female character in the Spyro series to have children (The first being the Turtle Mother and the second being Nina).
- Most fans consider Sonic Boom's backstory as sad and tragic, due to her having to forever watch her babies hatch, only for them to magically return into their egg shells over and over again in an endless cycle after they've lived out of their eggs for only a short while.
- Sonic Boom will occasionally vocally make a kaw sound. If her babies are around, they will respond back!
- If Sonic Boom is at full health, her babies will eat nearby food, and get both larger and more powerful.
- Her catchphrase is a play on "Full Steam Ahead!"
- A sonic boom is known as a shock wave created from a sound barrier.
- Sonic Boom wears the air elemental symbol on her helmet
- In Capcom's franchise Street Fighter a character named Guilee has a special move called Sonic Boom.
