- – Sunburn's official catchphrase
Sunburn is a Fire phoenix/dragon hybrid Skylander in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. She is bundled with the Dragon's Peak Adventure Pack.
Character Development
Sunburn was originally more reptilian in appearance with no hint of avian features on her except for her feather-like tail. She was called Hot Flash and her other prototype name was Fire Dragon.[1]
Nat Loh developed this character, using inspirations from Star Control 2 for Sunburn's teleportation abilities. Unlike the random teleportation of the Arilou Lalee'lay Skiff, Sunburn needed to reflect the player's intentions so that she always teleported to where the player wanted. In her Guided Teleportation upgrade, Nat built upon this concept to layer in complexity which comes together beautifully in her Flame Lord path. The Flight of the Phoenix upgrade and its art is a reference to the Phoenix's Firebird Mode from Battle of the Plants / G-Force / Gatchaman anime series that Nat saw as a child.[1]

Sunburn's early toy form designs for Spyro's Kingdom.[2] -
Sunburn's earlier reptilian design -
Background
Personality
Like all dragons, Sunburn is quite the prankster, but hates evil with a passion.[3] She uses her powers of teleportation to play practical jokes on her Skylander buddies, appearing when they least expect it. She doesn't like to stay in one place for more than a minute at a time.[4]
Biography
Born in the center of an active volcano, Sunburn is part dragon, part phoenix, and 100% fire power. She is very proud of her unique heritage, and is the only dragon and phoenix hybrid known to exist in Skylands. This rare combination makes her a desirable target for dark wizards and bounty hunters that seek to gain power by unlocking the secrets behind Sunburn’s ability to teleport. Joining the Skylanders gave Sunburn a way to help defend the world from evil, but also provided her with protection, as she remains one of the most sought after creatures in Skylands.
Story
History
For years, soothsayers and psychics had predicted the birth of a dragon-phoenix cross. So, when the newly hatched Sunburn was catapulted into the world from her cozy volcanic nest, she became the drag-nix (or phoe-gon?) everyone wanted to meet. Sunburn became a target for every thief, bandit and evil sorcerer who wanted a piece of her powers. Thankfully, being able to both throw flames and teleport was a handy defense. Still for Sunburn, Skylands was not a safe place. Luckily, Master Eon also noticed her amazing abilities and made her a Skylander. This not only provided Sunburn with protection, but gave her a license to incinerate evil. It also provided plenty of opportunities to play teleporting pranks on her new teammates.[5]
Stump Smash Crosses the Bone Dragon
Sunburn was one of the assembled Skylanders who attempted to fight against the rampaging Bone Dragon in the Giggling Forest, but was turned to stone. She was soon returned to normal when the Dragon agreed to un-freeze the petrified present characters.
Gameplay
Sunburn has the ability to breathe streams of fire. She also has a unique ability to teleport from one place to another, leaving a trail of flames behind. Sunburn is able to perform a fiery dash, where her speed increases while burning enemies in her path, which ends in an fiery explosion. It is said that her body temperature is so hot that her very molecules can't remain in one place and will teleport to a new location. Truth to be told, this ability has nothing to do with temperature, but is in fact a side effect of Sunburn being the only known half-dragon half-phoenix to exist.[6]

Trivia
- Images of Hot Flash, Sunburn's earlier reptilian design, can be found in early coloring book images and on the Skylanders Spyro's Adventure Carrying Case product.
- In a packaging for a prototype of Bash, the reptilian Sunburn was originally called Hot Flash.
- This original artwork is mistakenly displayed in Battle Mode of Spyro's Adventure (possibly a glitch exclusive to specific versions).
- Sunburn, along with Flashwing, Scratch and Blades are the only four winged Skylanders who cannot fly in game; however, Sunburn and Flashwing are both seen flying in their promotion trailers, and both Sunburn and Scratch hover while performing some attacks (in Sunburn's case, she slightly hovers when using her Phoenix Dash attack).
- However, she is able to fly or at least hover in the 3DS version of Spyro's Adventure and Giants.
- Sunburn's feathers are so hot, you can fry a troll egg on them![3]
- She is one of the Skylanders in Spyro's Adventure who didn't make it to being a Series 2 in Skylanders: Giants (the others being Boomer, Camo, Voodood, Ghost Roaster, Warnado, Dino-Rang, and Wham-Shell) although Wham-Shell and Warnado get LightCore versions of themselves in Swap Force, Camo gets a Series 2 in the game and the rest of those Skylanders (Except for Sunburn) have an Eon's Elite in SuperChargers).
- While she doesn't make a Series 2 counterpart, her evil counterpart, the Evil Phoenix Dragon, appears in the chapter of the former mentioned game, Glacier Gully as an ambush in the Elemental Gate.
- As of Imaginators, Sunburn is the only dragon from Spyro's Adventure who never got a Series 2 or LightCore counterpart.
- She is able to teleport, and uses this ability to play pranks on the other Skylanders.
- She shares some similarities to Skywarp from the Transformers Franchise: Both are teleporting pranksters capable of flight.
- In the Skylanders Giants Official Guide, at one point, she is mistakenly called Sunbeam.
- The explosions her teleporting ability leaves behind have a much smaller area of effect after Giants compared to the first game.
- She is also the only Skylander to have an area named after them, as in Dragon's Peak there is an area called Sunburn's Rest.
- However, a non-Skylander has a place named after it as well - Quigley (Quigley's Grotto).
- Sunburn is voiced by Troy Baker, who also voices Steeljaw in Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), Joel from The Last of Us, Loki in multiple Marvel Animated series, and Batman in Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes.
- She and Blades are currently the only two dragon Skylanders who came in Adventure Packs.
- Sunburn is the only Skylander from Spyro's Adventure who has not had a repose in any sequel game so far.
- On the Wii and Wii U version of Spyro's Adventure, Sunburn doesn't make a jumping animation when summoned on the portal, whereas on other consoles versions and in Giants, she jumps.
- If an enemy in Skylanders Giants hits Sunburn during her Phoenix Dash, Sunburn's body will appear along with its fiery outline.
- In the Xbox 360 version of Spyro's Adventure, Sunburn can teleport underneath certain Air Elemental gates, such as those in Stormy Stronghold, Goo Factory, and Arkeyan Armory.
