Whirlwind is a unicorn/dragon hybrid Skylander from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. She is of the Air element. Her winter counterpart is called Polar Whirlwind.
Background
Personality
Whirlwind is as brave as she is graceful. Her moods can be as changeable as the weather, but since becoming a Skylander, she has tried to keep her temper in check.[1] She is strong-winged, wild and ferocious. Deep down, Whirlwind is pure of heart, having held no grudge against the dragons and unicorns for shunning her.
Biography
Whirlwind is an air dragon with unicorn ancestry – two species that could not be more opposite in nature, which made her never quite fit in with either group. Other dragons were envious of her beauty, while unicorns shunned her for her ability to fly. But Whirlwind found peace within the dark and stormy clouds, where she learned to harness the tempest power within her. Despite her turbulent youth, she was the first to defend both dragons and unicorns when the trolls began hunting them, unleashing her ferocity in a brilliant and powerful rainbow that could be seen throughout many regions of Skylands. From that day forward, evil-doers would quake when dark clouds brewed, and run from the rainbow that followed the storm.
Story
History
Born of both unicorn and dragon descent, Whirlwind often felt like an oddball outsider. Unicorns were unimpressed with her wings and dragons disliked the horn on her head. Shunned and seeking solace, Whirlwind retreated to the cover of storm clouds, where she learned to harness her tempest power. When a troublesome troupe of trolls came searching for unicorn tails and dragon scales, Whirlwind burst from her cover and unleahed a blinding rainbow to send them fleeing. From that day on, unicorns and dragons saw her in a new light. Seeing her purity of heart, Master Eon made her a Skylander. Today, nothing makes a troll tremble like a small, stormy cloud moving speedily towards him.[2]
Gameplay
As a result of spending time within dark storm clouds, Whirlwind gained the ability to shoot rainbow energy from her horn at her opponents; which can also heal her allies if she gained her Soul Gem ability. She can also launch storm clouds at her enemies with a clap of her wings. Being part dragon, Whirlwind has the ability to fly.
