Glumshanks is one of the main antagonists of the spin-off series, Skylanders Academy. He is Kaos' servant.
Background
Personality
Unlike his game counterpart, Glumshanks is mostly carefree about his predictament with Kaos, with the exception of anxiety disorder. When his master is not looking, he always tries to keep up a conversation with other people around him, and greatly enjoys sharing stories, doing his hobbies and having relaxing activities. Even while in servitude, Glumshanks appears uninterested about the conflict between Kaos and the Skylanders, only helping in evil plans for as long as necessary. He calls the stage his "first love", and even after leaving theater work he still enjoys acting.
Biography
Glumshanks, Kaos' loyal troll-servant, attends to his evil master’s every crazy whim: cooking his meals, cleaning his lair, and helping him with target practice... by being the target. And you thought your boss was tough! Even though Glumshanks is the brains of this duo’s dastardly operation, he never takes the credit and goes out of his way to keep Kaos from meeting his doom. It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to do it.
Abilities
Despite having no magical or physical abilities, Glumshanks makes acquantances easily and a lot of stories to tell, allowing him to keep a friendly conversation even with the Skylanders. He also knows some cooking and appears to have connections to a lot of people unrelated to the villains or the Skylanders.
Story
Sometime before meeting and being hired by Kaossandra, Glumshanks worked in a theater. Despite enjoying his job, community projects involving Shakespeare works and being put in the same roles repeatedly eventually caused him too much frustration.
Season 1
By the time the show starts, Glumshanks has been Kaos' minion for some time. In the pilot, he accompanied his master as the sorcerer tried to steal the Book of Skylanders, helping him survey the battlefield and later shielding him from Bad Breath's attacks. Much to his dismay, he was given an icicle containing Master Eon's beard to lick after Kaos froze the team of heroes using ice magic on the Book, but it would later be proven useful as it allowed them inside the Relics Room.
While helping Kaos with trying to steal as many riches from the room as possible, they were stopped by Spyro, who defrosted the book and freed the other Skylanders. They quickly caught to the villains even after they dispatched the purple dragon, and were promptly thrown out of Skylanders Academy into a field of angered Sheep.
In My Way or the Sky Way, Glumshanks is "taken away" by Kaossandra as she threatens to throw Kaos out if he doesn't get a job, but it is later revealed to be a ruse, as they tried to get him out of the house for a day to catch up with small talk and have tea. Though Kaos came back early and almost saw through the facade, the two quickly pretended that Glumshanks was being used as a chair, and the sorcerer went back to his usual treatment of the troll soon after.
Relationships
Kaos
Kaos mistreats Glumshanks at every opportunity, but with few exceptions Glumshanks only shows his displeasure in expressions and never questions orders unless he has a better idea himself. He tends to Kaos' every need even if he refuses help, and is at his side whenever possible to keep him out of major trouble.
In The Skylands Are Falling!, Glumshanks reveals that he holds a lot of grudges and harsh words against his master, and uses the incoming apocalypse to voice them freely, though later disaster was averted and he had to sit through the punishment for speaking up. In Assault on Skylander Academy, Kaos' increased powers proved to be too much for Glumshanks to keep on check with simple distractions and subtle orders, but as the sorcerer was barred out of the house, it is unknown if their dynamic will stay the same.
Kaossandra
Despite his humiliating job, Glumshanks holds Kaossandra in high regard, and the two respect each other even if he lacks any power of his own. She appears to admire his stories and will gladly find excuses to get him out of the guest castle so they can have a conversation over tea and food.

Trivia
- At points, Kaos calls him by the nickname of "Glum-dog", possibly as a reference to hip hop culture.
- Possibly because of the abuse from Kaos, Glumshanks takes anxiety medication.
- Glumshanks' fake beard in Pop Rocks is the same pattern and colors as the beards on Troll Welders.
- In the pilot, Glumshanks uses an opening while he isn't needed to tell stories to Chill, fully knowing she wouldn't be able to respond as she was frozen over.
- Oddly, she would turn out to have no speaking lines whatsoever in Season 1.
