“They call me... The Light Eater.”

– Strykore,Touch of Evil

Strykore, known in legend as The Light Eater is a major villain in the Skylanders Academy television series. After his evil acts in the Great War, he was sealed within the Book of Dark Magic; despite his imprisonment, he orchestrated most of the events of Season 2 to gain freedom.

Background

Personality

Strykore's cunning surpasses even that of the Golden Queen, using his corruptive magic and lies to reach his goals. He is shown to be pure evil, as he does not care about the disastrous effects of his light siphoning, nor the balance between good and evil, and he has made clear his mission to destroy the Core of Light at any cost, no matter whom he has to harm or even kill to get there.

Abilities

Strykore was made infamous for his main ability: he can siphon the moral light energy of beings to increase his own power, sometimes corrupting them into evil beings in the process. Even without using it, he still has great dark magic, and can bestow power, or alter the already existing power, unto others even from his prison inside the Endless Void of the Book of Dark Magic. His growing power also empowers many villains in Skylands and disrupts technology like a virus, causing mayhem even before being freed.

Though he appears incapable of using astral magic, he can still manifest himself in the Dream Realm, with enough power to free anyone from Dreamcatcher's grasp temporarily.

Story

History

During the Great War, Strykore attempted to destroy the Core of Light by corrupting its Purple Dragon guardians, though they were stopped by Master Eon's desperate spells to send them to another dimension. Eventually, Strykore was stopped by his ally Kaossandra, who betrayed him to seal him inside the Book of Dark Magic with Eon's help.

Season 1

Strykore empowered Kaos through the Book of Dark Magic, in an attempt to make him undo the curse with Chompy Mage's help. When the book was taken by the Skylanders and returned to Kaossandra after an arduous struggle, however, he acted surprised before his manifestation was sealed back into the tome.

Season 2

Though his inital attempt at leaving the book was thwarted, Strykore had another method set in place: Kaos' empowerment started to drain Kaossandra's magic by the day, and the more the dark wizard gained strength to manifest, the less Kaossandra could keep him inside the book before he manifested from the Endless Void to interact with anyone within his power's reach.

Eventually, his powers did more than strengthen the evil of Skylands, and in Sheep(ball) Dreams, he finally reached out to Dreamcatcher by emptying the Dream Realm, making a deal with her to reveal the location of Kaossandra's Castle so he could be freed. Golden Queen, unknown to him, was eager to use the information to take revenge on Kaossandra, but she was no stranger to his power and secretly planned to destroy him as well. However, his return wasn't secret for long, and after Dreamcatcher was taken in by the Skylanders during her amnesia, she told them about Strykore when he attempted to remind her of their deal.

Relationships

Kaossandra

After her betrayal, he made no attempt to hide his hatred and taunted her at every attempt of sealing him when her strength started to wane.

Kaos

Though he welcomed him as a son and offered him power and a spot to rule at his side, not is all as it may seem. Though the sorcerer was saved by his terrible memory, Strykore at first attempted to consume his power shamelessly to be free, which puts into question many other of his claims as they might simply be other lies to keep Kaos on his side.

Glumshanks

Despite the very brief meeting between the two, Strykore seems to dislike him much like Kaos does, claiming (and questioning why) that he suddenly had the urge to "jam wheels inside [his] ears and use him like a rickshaw" (something which Kaos claimed to have done a month prior).

Trivia

• Though he has a significant amount of design changes from Master Eon's appearance, he uses a similar model, and also has robes colored similarly to Evilon.
• Strykore was created for the show as a threat to Skylands with family relationships towards various characters.
• Strykore's spells are phrases in reverse, unlike the gibberish spells used by Kaossandra and Eon, and Skull's spells with only the words backwards. As of Season 2, he has only attempted one spoken spell, which when solved, puts his relationship with Kaos into question:
  • Let it consume you so once more I may live.
