Just like her name suggests, Bad Juju had always been bad. From her humble beginnings as a witch doctor, where she put curses on her patients instead of curing them, to being the [[Golden Queen]]'s right-hand sorcerer, she had spent her entire life as a villain. Being captured by the [[Skylanders]] didn't do much to change her attitude either. At least, that was the case until the day she conjured up more then she bargained for - a son named Juju Junior. That was when she finally deiced it was time to come to change her lifestyle. She didn't want to raise Juju Junior inside a prison thinking that his magical mother was a criminal. So she asked [[Master Eon]] to give her a chance to be a hero instead. As luck would have it, Eon was a looking for a Swashbuckler Sensei who could help train [[Imaginators]] the value of being good. Not bad for Bad Juju.

Bad Juju is a evil voodoo spirit who first appeared as one of the Airvillains in Skylanders: Trap Team. She later appeared in Skylanders: SuperChargers, as one of the non-playable villain racers in the Racing Mode, driving an unnamed oddly-shaped vehicle with a duplicate of her skull on the front.
Bad Juju loves to sleep, and those that disturb her must weather the consequences.[1] As seen in her Imaginators backstory, despite being mean to a fault, wanting to be a better role model for her son changed her villanous ways.
Story
Skylanders: Trap Team
Bad Juju was first encountered in the Lair of the Golden Queen. When the Skylanders were battling their way through the Queen's homestead, they inadvertantly awoke Bad Juju from her slumber, enraging her. Her attempts to subdue them with her magic failed and after her defeat, she was promptly trapped.
Skylanders: Imaginators

Gameplay
Bad Juju can summon storms and whirlwinds to suck in enemies and call upon lightning strikes, and she can also teleport as seen in her introduction. As seen in unused Skylanders: Battlecast card art, Bad Juju can also use mind control, with her victim sporting eyes with similar design to hers.[2]
In Imaginators, Bad Juju no longer fights alone, now with her son Juju Junior at her side. With two lightning-channeling knives and his powers over the wind, she takes full advantage of her detached head, keeping her focus on enemies as she spins her entire body in many unpredictable ways.

When explaining her quest, Glumshanks uses male pronouns to refer to Bad Juju even though she is female. She is also refered to as a "he" by a Battlecast artist. [3]
She and Eye Scream and the only female villains that are mistaken with male pronouns.
Coincidentally, they are both voiced by Kimberly Brooks.
In game, she is slouched over but she straightens when she uses her attacks.
One of her attacks, Whirlwind, shares its name with a Skylander.
Bad Juju speaks in a Jamaican accent.
Bad Juju is voiced by Kimberly Brooks who also voices Eye Scream and Echo, well known for her voice acting roles as Buena Girl from Mucha Lucha! and Jasper from Steven Universe.
She has upside-down versions of the Air symbol engraved into, or part of her eyes.
On the official Skylanders website, she is mistakenly listed twice.
Bad Juju, Hood Sickle and Grave Clobber are the only Undead creatures to not be from that element.
Oddly, she is the only one of them to not change elements in Imaginators.
Additionally, only Grave Clobber had no color changes between games.
