English Voice Actor: Same as Corresponding Skylander

In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Kaos' Minions are evil duplicate versions of known Skylanders that Kaos created to battle the Skylanders who attempt to retrieve Eternal Sources. There are thirteen total known minions. In the skirmishes for an Eternal Source, the minions are stronger when they're fought alone but when all three of the respective elements come out, the single minions are easier to beat.

Kaos' Minions are found at the end of the chapters Leviathan Lagoon, Lava Lakes Railway, Creepy Citadel, and Falling Forest. All minions appear one last time (and for the Hydra the first time) in the final battle in the Lair of Kaos.

In Skylanders: Giants, some of the evil doubles make minor appearances in specific Elemental Gates as boss battles. Because the game now has difficulty settings and several Skylanders had gameplay changes, they can prove a greater challenge than before.

List of Minions

Trivia

  • In Spyro's Adventure, Kaos refers to the evil versions of Stump Smash, Eruptor, and Slam Bam as his brawlers when he summons them during the final boss fight, Brawler would later become a battle class in Skylanders: Imaginators.
  • In the Official Strategy Guide for Spyro's Adventure, all of the minions use the word "Dark" in their names instead of "Evil".
  • Fire and Water are the only elements to have multiple minion appearances in Skylanders: Giants.
    • Fire is the only one to have all three of its minions make a return.
  • Though multiples of the minions are found in the games, some Book of Elements entries refer to a few, such as the Evil Witch Minion, as individuals, though sharing the tastes and methods of their good counterparts.
  • Every Skylander in Skylanders: Giants and Skylanders: Swap Force (with the strange exception of Stump Smash) has unused voice lines for their evil duplicates, suggesting that many more Skylanders were intended to appear as enemies.
    • Zook is the only Skylander (excluding Stump Smash) to lack a final catchphrase, instead using a text-to-speech placeholder.
  • The elemental ambushes in Giants were originally called "Elemental Face-Offs." In the game's earliest alpha, every one of these ambushes inevitably triggered a bug that caused the camera to zoom out, rendering the player and the battle impossible to see. However, the camera would briefly reset when each minion was defeated, and it returned to normal after the ambush was done.[1]
