– Camo, Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Camo is a green plant dragon hybrid who is one of the playable Skylanders in the Skylanders franchise, first appearing in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. His Series 2 counterpart is called Thorn Horn Camo.

Character Development

Camo originally started out as another character named Sun Dragon. Sun Dragon was one of the earliest playable characters designed for the initial pitch of a toy-themed Spyro's Kingdom. At this point, he had a more menacing design with a larger head before the project evolved into Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure and Sun Dragon's design was tweaked. Despite being present in early game trailers for Skylanders, Sun Dragon was eventually replaced by Camo seemingly late in development.

While Sun Dragon himself is now a scrapped character design that never made it to the final line of playable characters for Spyro's Adventure, Camo became his successor, sharing the same abilities as his predecessor.

Background

Personality

Camo is a real prankster, with one of his favorite tricks creating fruit and vegatables that explode in your shocked face!

Biography

Hatched at the roots of the Tree of Life, Camo is half dragon and half plant - with effervescent life energy flows through his scaly leaves, allowing him to cultivate fruits and vegetables at a tremendous rate and causing them to explode when they ripen, which makes eating them particularly challenging. Camo’s unique gift caught the eye of Master Eon, initially because he was hungry and tried to eat a melon that exploded in his face. But upon realizing his true power, Eon convinced Camo to help the Skylanders protect their world.

Story

History

This plant-dragon hybrid was born by the roots of the Tree of Life, and so possesses the amazing ability to speedily cultivate fruit and vegetables that explode when they are ripe (creating both an everyday eating hazard and a hilarious dinner-party prank). Master Eon found himself at the butt end of this juicy-fruit joke when he visited Camo's idyllic island. While out for a stroll, Eon spotted a perfect melon waiting to be picked. But as he bent over the scrumptious speciment, it exploded, splattering the Portal Master's robe and alarmed old face. As he wiped away the sticky seeds, Eon noticed a pair of prying eyes nearby, clearly enjoying the scene. Eventually, Camo stepped forward and introduced himself. Eon soon invited him to be a Skylander - and, on his days off, the Portal Master's personal gardener.

Abilities

As a result of being half plant and half dragon, Camo can grow fruits and vegatables that explode when they become ripe. His standard attacks involves firing bursts of solar energy from his mouth and conjuring vines of peppers from his tail that explode like firecrackers at enemies around them. He can also grow a ring of melons around him and send them flying and exploding at surrounding enemies.

Generally, he is best suited for mid-to-long range. His Sun Burst is rapid fire and can knock away enemies. His vines do a great amount of damage, and can damage groups of enemies. He excels in mid and long range, but is somewhat weak in close range. The vines don't harm the enemy if it's too close, and the sun burst does only 13 damage (with the Searing Sun Blast upgrade). The Melon Fountain helps improve his close range skills and are useful for harming nearby enemies. You can choose the Melon Master upgrade path to improve his close range skills or Vine Virtuso for improve his Long Range skills.

Trivia

• When he's not protecting Skylands, Camo tends Eon's vegatable garden.
• The peppers Camo can grow from his tail are among the hottest in all of Skylands. Only the Fire Skylander, Eruptor, has ever been able to eat a whole one. He appeared to have no lasting effects, but he did spend almost a week having to lie down in a darkened room afterwards, and he hasn't been able to look at spicy food since.
• His name could be short for "camouflage."
  • 'Camo' is also another name for "plant."
• He is the only Life Skylander who is a quadruped.
• He very slightly resembles a horned lizard and a Leaf-Tailed Gecko.
• He is the only dragon without a move that makes him faster.
• He is one of the three dragon Skylanders who are hybrids (the other two being Whirlwind, a half unicorn-half dragon hybrid and Sunburn, a half phoenix-half dragon hybrid).
• When Camo uses Orbiting Sun Shield, you can shoot out three suns and they will circle Camo and give him 5 health up to 8 times for a total of 40 health unless one of the orbs hits an enemy.
• He, Ghost Roaster, Tree Rex, and Lightning Rod don't have upgrade paths for their primary attacks.
• His melons pop if hit by enemy attacks, but the enemy will still take damage from popping it (but only if it's a melee attack).
• Camo trills the Rs in his words whenever he speaks.
  • His manner of speech is exactly like how some of the Magic Crafter dragons speak in the original Spyro the Dragon game.
• The idea of exploding fruits may have come from the South American Sandbox Tree, which has fruit that explodes when ripe.
• He is voiced by André Sogliuzzo, who voiced Sparx in the original Spyro series as well as in Skylanders, and the Magic Skylander, Voodood.
• In Spyro's Adventure, Camo is the only Life Skylander who does not have an evil counterpart in boss battles.
