“The Roar of Thunder!”

– Wild Storm's official catchphrase

Wild Storm is an Air elemental Sensei of the Knight Battle Class. He is included in the Cursed Tiki Temple Level Pack.

Background

Physical traits

Wild Storm is a masked swordsman of an unknown species. He has ivory horns pointing sideways, on the sides of his head. His mask possesses the Air Element's emblem on his mask's "forehead", between its metal eyes. His glowing white eyes are the only visible part of his face inside the mask. The armor covering his torso, arms and legs are black, with some golden decorations on his chest's armor. He wears pentagonal steel tassets, gauntlets and clawed boots, and his limbs are additionally protected by the strapped blue guards with golden edges, each made of three pentagonal plates. There is also some sort of a short cape made of blue feathers on his upper back and shoulders. Wild Storm's sword is very decorative; it possesses golden feather decorations and the Air symbol engraved on the blade's base. The turquoise blade splits into two tips, with the gap between them.

In Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, in his Awakened form, Wild Storm's steel features on his mask change their color to gold with a small addition of a cross on the mask's top. His horns pointing up gain steel rings. He wears blue-gold gauntlets with steel parts in the shape of claws covering his fingers, and spiked boots of the same color. Neither have strapped guards. Also, his tassets are shield-shaped, turn blue, and, which also applies to his gauntlets and boots, gain spikes. He loses his feather cape, and his sword's blade gets the shape similar to the fish's body.

Biography

By the time he was 10 years old, Wild Storm had already mastered the Air Blade. With no family of his own, he spent much of his youth traveling throughout Skylands, offering his combat services to the highest bidder as a soldier of fortune. On one such occasion, he was hired by Kaos to break into a pirate outpost in Skyhighlands to steal their legendary gold detector. But little did Wild Storm know, he was only being used by Kaos to scout their defenses – and he was captured by the pirates! While imprisoned in the highest tower, the powerful winds blew through his cell, fueling his anger. But Wild Storm would not be contained! Harnessing the storm’s energy, he grew 3 times his size and exploded out of his prison – vowing to put a stop to Kaos once and for all. Soon after, he met Master Eon, who agreed to help him, provided Wild Storm would share his skills in swordsmanship with other Skylanders, as a Sensei of the Knight Class!

Gameplay

Wild Storm can use his blade both for melee attacks and throwing bolts of lightning. He is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat, using headbutts and a beast form to overpower foes close by. He can also create an uproar and breathe clouds into the battlefield, that can be electrified by his blade's lightning.

Trivia

• During a Grind Challenge, Wild Storm runs on all fours like a quadrupedal animal instead of on his two feet.
• While Wild Storm's face is never truly seen, the shape of his mask and his thick mane of blue fur give his head the appearance of the horned lion's.
  • Wild Storm's mask is also animated; its "mouth" narrows and widens as he breathes. One could say he breathes through his mask's hole.
  • During his Uproar or his beast form, his white glowing eyes inside the mask disappear. Instead, the metal ones on its "forehead" glow temporarily, until he stops roaring or returns to his normal form.
• One of his quotes, "The power is strong with this one" is a reference to the popular Star Wars franchise quote, "The Force is strong with this one", used by several characters in the series.
  • Coincidentally, a number of Wild Storm's quotes happen to follow the object-subject-verb pattern, a pattern that Master Yoda, one of the most prominent figures of the Star Wars franchise, uses very often when speaking.
• Wild Storm shares some similarities with Wildfire. Both have the word "Wild" in their name, both have many lion-like features, both can channel their element through roaring, and both are traditionally bipedal but move around on all-fours in certain circumstances. They also both have a Soul Gem with a new form.
  • Wild Storm also shares some similarities with Pop Fizz, most notably, they are blue-furred creatures that can transform into a more beastly and aggressive version of themselves.
    • Coincidentally, in Ring of Heroes, both Wild Storm and Pop Fizz have two different ability sets, one during their normal selves, and another when transformed into their beast modes.
• Wild Storm bears multiple similarities to Tetrax Shard from the Ben 10 series.
  • They both mentor younger heroes.
  • Both have pasts as soldiers of fortune or mercenaries, but stopped doing so after the main villains of their series (Kaos and Vilgax, respectively), hired them but then betrayed them.
• He is the only Air Sensei without an alt deco.
• Wild Storm is voiced by Keston John, who would later be known for voicing Hordak in the 2018 reboot of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power and Darius Deamonne from The Owl House.
  • According to John, Wildstorm was called "Atmosfear" during development.
• He is one of the most expensive Senseis on the secondhand market, the others being Ro-Bow and Chompy Mage.
