Tae Kwon Crow, formerly known as the Great Hawkmongous, is a ninja crow who first appeared as one of the Dark trappable villains in Skylanders: Trap Team.
In Skylanders: Imaginators, Tae Kwon Crow has changed elements to Fire, and has become a Sensei training Imaginators of the Ninja Battle Class.
Story
Skylanders: Trap Team
Tae Kwon Crow was a ninja who served as leader of an evil gang of Sky Pirates in the Skyhighlands. After escaping from Cloudcracker Prison, the crow returned to the Skyhighlands, where he soon encountered the Skylanders throughout his hideout, not knowing who they are. He challenged them to a few games of Skystones Smash, before ultimately battling the Skylanders atop the pirate stronghold for the possession of the crystal prism. Tae Kwon Crow was eventually defeated and trapped.
Skylanders: Imaginators
Tae Kwon Crow was once the leader of a villainous band of air pirates in Skyhighlands. But pirating was never his true passion. All that really mattered to him was stopping anyone that “dared” to do anything that he deemed out of character. If a cake maker “dared” to make a pie instead, he would put a stop to it. If an ordinary sheep “dared” to baaahh longer than normal, he would end that nonsense right then and there. Tae Kwon Crow could not even stand it when anyone even “dared” of thinking of daring to do anything. But after he was captured by the Trap Masters, Master Eon dared him to change his ways and use his abilities for good instead. At first, Tae Kwon Crow was angry that Eon would dare make such a bold suggestion, but he soon realized that he could actually serve as a role model to young Ninjas and help them avoid the dark path that he went down. Forsaking his katana for the more traditional roundhouse fire-kick, Tae Kwon Crow now defends Skylands from whoever dares threaten it.
Gameplay
In Skylanders: Trap Team, Tae Kwon Crow used his ninja abilities to teleport to avoid enemy attack and use his katana for offense. He also wielded ninja stars to throw and strike at approaching foes.
Sensei Abilities
After renouncing his evil ways, Tae Kwon Crow abandoned his katana to use more traditional roundhouse fire abilities. He can also summon a Buzzer Beak as a helper.

- "The Great Hawkmongous accepts his fate. And his new name of Tae Kwon Crow. Pretty cool actually."
- "Who dares select meeeeeeee!!"
- "I'll take it now!"

Trivia
- He is the second trappable villain who changes his name (the first being Threatpack).
- He is the only bird villain with featureless eyes.
- He is also the second playable bird character with featureless eyes, the first being Free Ranger.
- He and Cross Crow are the only villains who are not accompanied by any other villain in a chapter.
- Coincidentally, they are both crows.
- Also, despite this, neither of their chapters have zones where Skylanders of their elements are stronger.
- He is the seventh playable ninja in the Skylanders series.
- He and Nightshade are the only two ninjas to be trappable villains.
- His name is a play on "tae kwon do", a type of martial arts.
- Upon his first encounter with the Skylanders, Tae Kwon Crow didn't figure out who they were, even after his defeat.
- When being captured, Tae Kwon Crow breaks the fourth wall when wondering why his name was changed to Tae Kwon Crow.
- Refusing to play Skystones with him also has him gloat over keeping you stuck, as whenever he appears an invisible wall blocks the path further until he's beaten.
- This makes him the second trappable villain to break the fourth wall. The first was Blaster-Tron and the third was Kaos.
- This also suggests that the real names of the villains you capture also aren't the names they were given, not unlike some Skylanders.
- In the Wii version, he doesn't change colors after evolving.
- He is the only bird Villain to wear pants.
- Tae Kwon Crow is one of six Villains who do not try to persuade the Portal Master into capturing them, let alone being aware of their ultimate fate. (the others being The Gulper, Threatpack, Chill Bill, Lob Goblin, and Brawlrus).
- Hood Sickle, Grave Clobber and Tae Kwon Crow are the first characters to change elements permanently. In his backstory, it is implied to be a change as simple as learning new skills and discarding others.
- Tae Kwon Crow's Imaginators backstory implies he might have a compulsive disorder, constantly desiring for things to be done the way he thinks is right, even if other people are the ones acting out of line, to the point of obsession.
