Sun Dragon[1] is a scrapped character and the original design of Camo. It only appeared briefly in the Skylanders: The Beginning trailer, taking part in the battle against Kaos' army.

Character Development

Sun Dragon was one of the earliest Skylanders designed, present during the initial pitch of a Toy-themed Spyro game as a playable dragon, and as a Life Skylander during the Spyro's Kingdom phase.[2] At this point, Sun Dragon had a more menacing design with a larger head.

Despite being present in early trailers, the Sun Dragon design was eventually replaced with Camo's current design seemingly late in development.[1] The two share several attacks such as using sun balls and stringing lines of firecrackers.[3]

Trivia

  • Interestingly, he, Fire Kraken and Flare Wolf are the only Skylanders who used fireworks to fight, however because Sun Dragon was scrapped, Fire Kraken and Flare Wolf are the only ones.
    • Coincidentally, both Fire Kraken and Sun Dragon are chinese dragons.
  • Despite being a scrapped version of Camo, Camo also makes an appearance in The Beginning trailer charging into battle just under Spyro's wing.
  • The Sun Dragon can only ever be seen twice in "The Beginning" trailer.
    • The first time is when Slam Bam is fighting some Cyclops Choppers. Sun Dragon can be seen in the background to the left of Slam Bam.
    • The second and final time is when the Skylanders are being blasted away. He can again be seen in the background, this time to the left of Wrecking Ball as the grub worm says "Not good."
  • The dragon heads on the door archways around the Creepy Citadel are modelled after Sun Dragon. The dragon torches around the Quicksilver Vault are also modelled after him.
