Skylanders (franchise)

Skylanders is a video game franchise that contains the concept of toys and video games coming together. Playable characters are unlocked in the game when their toy action figures are placed on a device called the Portal of Power. The Skylanders franchise serves as a reboot and spinoff to the Spyro franchise.

Development

Main article: Spyro's Kingdom

While exploring ideas for the Spyro license after The Legend of Spyro reboot, Activision and Toys For Bob eventually started Spyro's Kingdom. During development, the game evolved into Skylanders, which kickstarted the Skylanders franchise.

Skylanders

The Skylanders are the main playable characters in the Skylanders series. They are legendary heroes; champions in the world of Skylands. Their ancient mission is to protect Skylands and its magical Core of Light that kept the ultimate force behind all evil, The Darkness, at bay. Using their magical powers and machinery, the Skylanders defended their world for generations.

Spyro the Dragon is a legendary champion and has earned the rank of being such a Skylander, and to be among the many champions that is kind of the forefront, the leaderish sort of the Skylanders.

Abilities

Each Skylander wields a single element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, and Tech, with Light and Dark coming later in Trap Team. There are a total of over 80 main Skylanders in the franchise.
