“All Hands on Deck!”

– Thrillipede's official catchphrase

Thrillipede is a green millipede who is one of the Life SuperChargers in Skylanders: SuperChargers. His signature vehicle is the Buzz Wing.

Background

Personality

Thrillipede is incredibly skilled in combat, but is very reserved when not battling evil. Despite not being a bird, he is very observant when riding his Buzz Wing, and has great knowledge on flight mechanics. In his SuperCharger Quest, he is also shown to be very modest, and holds a longstanding friendship with Buzz. Thrillipede flies fearless through the skies, zipping through the air without a care. He's committed to his duty, but freely admits he loves to wow the crowds.

Biography

Thrillipede served in the Millipede Military in the outer regions of Skylands. As the top pilot in his unit, Thrillipede was responsible for single-handedly blasting over 300 Greeble warships out of the sky! When the Great Greeble War came to an end, he returned to his hometown of Flutter Bay as a celebrated hero. He was the talk of the town and everyone wanted to shake the many hands of the famous young pilot. News of his heroics eventually made their way to Captain Flynn at the Skylanders Academy, who set out to determine if the stories were true. In a series of friendly challenges, the two pilots raced, soared through obstacles, and performed incredible stunts in front of a cheering Flutter Bay crowd. In each event, Thrillipede stood victorious, and was asked to join the Skylanders shortly after. Of course, Flynn later admitted that he “let him win” so that Thrillipede wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of his hometown.

Relationships

Buzz

Though not clearly stated, the two appear to have worked together before Thrillipede joined the Skylanders, participating in many missions side by side. Buzz appears eager to talk about their old stories together, and Thrillipede, though not willing to speak of his own greatness, happily discusses them.

Trivia

• His Soul Gem shares a name with Beautifly, a creature from Pokémon.
• Strangely, although Thrillipede can wrap himself in a cocoon with his Cocooned ability, millipedes do not cocoon themselves.
  • Also, Thrillipede possesses wings in later upgrades, but millipedes in real life don't actually have wings.
• He, Slam Bam and Starcast are the only Skylanders who have four arms.
• Thrillipede's voice actor is Patrick Seitz, who also voices Hot Head, Rip Tide, and Chomp Chest, and is the voice actor for Ratchet & Clank characters Slim Cognito and Wendall Lumos in the PlayStation 4 version of the game, as well as the English voice actor for Dark Cacao Cookie in Cookie Run Kingdom.
• He is the only Life SuperCharger without a dark edition counterpart.
  • He is also the only Life SuperCharger to not be included in a starter pack.
• Thrillipede is the only SuperCharger (not counting the SuperCharger versions of previous Skylanders or guest characters) who did not appear in Skylanders: Ring of Heroes.
• Strangely, Thrillipede was unreleased in the US for an unknown reason, but his vehicle and his easter counterpart were not.
• Concept art included various alternative designs of Thrillipede as a legless, four-winged moth; a stocky, armored beetle; and a slender dragonfly.
• Developer David A. Rodriguez says of Thrillipede, "He's like a pitching machine... for grenades."
