Wrecking Ball is a grub worm Skylander in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He is in the Magic element. He also has a flowery counterpart, Buddy Wrecking Ball who is available only to the Lost Islands for a limited time.
Background
Personality
Wrecking Ball can be reckless, destructive, and possess a giant appetite. He is lively, never content unless he smashes things up unintentionally. In some media, he shows dog-like qualities.
Biography
Wrecking Ball was once a tiny grub worm about to become the main ingredient in an old wizard’s cauldron of magic stew. But when he was dropped in, the wizard was shocked to see the little grub devour all of the soup and emerge from the cauldron 20 times larger and with a long, sticky tongue. The poor old wizard was even more surprised seconds later, when Wrecking Ball proceeded to swallow him whole. Eventually he ran, quite literally, into the powerful Portal Master Eon, who was intrigued by how he came to be and impressed with his unique abilities.
Story
History
Once upon a time, Wrecking Ball was nothing more than a common or garden grub. His adventure began when he became a speciality ingredient in a wizard's magical stew. After being chucked into the cooking concoction, a curious occurence took place. The hungry little grub worm took a sip, and then a gulp, and ended up devouring the whole lot. When the wizard came in to check on his cauldron, instead of his tasty stew he found one enormous grub who had grown to over twenty times his original size. And as Wrecking Ball was still a little peckish, he popped the wizard in his mouth too - only to spit him straight back out again (even a grub's standard's, the wizard tasted like a warthog!). The story soon spread, raising smiles across the Skylands world. Soon the plucky grub bounced into Master Eon, who evidently felt that the Skylanders could do with a serious stomach among their ranks.[1]
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
After being banished from Skylands along with the other Skylanders, being a frozen statue was a living nightmare for Wrecking Ball. This lively, giant blue grub is never content unless he's smashing things around him (though never on purpose). His thoughts were a mix between food and how to unleash his rapidly building energy.[2]
Gameplay
Having consumed an entire cauldron of magic stew, its effects not only made Wrecking Ball grow 20 times his normal size and enhanced him with magical energy, but also gave him a long, sticky tongue which he uses to lash at his enemies. He can also curl into a ball and steamroll into his enemies using the magical energy he uses as a forcefield. Wrecking Ball can also let loose out a burp of gas from his mouth to blow enemies away, and can also devour his enemies to regain health if he has gained his Soul Gem ability.

Trivia
- His missing teeth is the price all good grubs pay for eagerness in battle.[1]
- Wrecking Ball reminded Master Eon of his favorite childhood pet.[3]
- The old Portal Master was also the one who named Wrecking Ball after the grub worm wrecked a few of Eon's statues.
- Wrecking Ball has a few similarities with the Nintendo character, Kirby (both are cute, squishy and can devour their enemies).
- Wrecking Ball also shares his tongue trait and Rolling trait with another Nintendo character, Yoshi.
- His ability to roll also resembles Cannonbolt, an alien form from the Ben 10 series.
- Series 2 Wrecking Ball has the Disco Ball upgrade, giving him a pair of large tusks.
- Curiously, in Giants, Wrecking Ball is able to eat Jawbreakers despite the fact that they are bigger than he is. When he eats Brute, the cutscene with him still plays, but Wrecking Ball will still get 10+ health.
- User:Jast Bish hopes he's a Series 3.
