Bat Spin is a vampire who is one of the Core Frito-Lay Skylanders for Skylanders: Trap Team.
Character Development
Bat Spin is one of the Skylanders that Nat Loh designed up front and have the concept art team create a character befitting her powers. He knew he wanted a female vampire-type of character and he was really intrigued with the idea of a hero who could use their projectiles after they were fired. Bat Spin's bats would make her other abilities more effective, making this one of Nat's favorite works. Bat Spin's upgrade path would turn out to be so insane (she gained three bat buddies each with a unique ability that made her into an unstoppable force) that Nat used it as a new bar to aspire towards for Skylander upgrades. However this gave him a problem: Skylander upgrade paths should be equally appealing and no one path is the better path so how would Nat make a second path just as compelling as the first? The answer was more bats, and the second upgrade path Nat made topped the first.[2]
Bat Spin was named by Kimberly Josey from Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of a naming contest held by Frito-Lay.[3]

Bat Spin quickly took action and used powerful abilities that she had learned growing up with the bats and essentially becoming one of them. She heroically defeated the trolls and saved the colony.
