It is a floating enemy that is not directly hostile. Instead, it teleports away and summons a group of clones that all look and act the same, except for the real Crackler, which has more pronounced movements. If a clone is destroyed, it explodes, dealing damage to any nearby Skylanders. If the real Crackler is attacked, the clones instantly disappear and the Crackler must cool down before summoning more clones.
