Terrafin is a dirt shark Skylander in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure who, in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, is available only in the Pirate Seas Adventure Pack but in Skylanders: Giants, his Series 2 figures comes in a single pack. He is of the Earth element.
His Series 3 counterpart is called Knockout Terrafin, who is available in the Fiery Forge triple pack with Bumble Blast. He's also available in a single pack and a triple pack.
Background
Personality
Terrafin is a fighter and has a personality to match. He's rough and physically minded, and blunt in his dealings with others. His comments in the various Skylander videos suggest that he's got a personality based on B.A. Barracus from the A-Team TV series. He often states he's both a fighter and a lover.
Biography
Terrafin hails from The Dirt Seas, where it was common to swim, bathe, and even snorkel beneath the ground. But a powerful explosion in the sky created a blast wave that turned the ocean of sand into a vast sheet of glass, putting an end to Terrafin’s duty as the local lifeguard. Not one to stay idle, the brawny dirt shark found himself training in the art of boxing, and not long after he was local champ. Fighters came from all around to challenge him, but it was a chance meeting with a great Portal Master that led him to give up his title for a greater purpose.
Story
History
Terrafin is the brawling shark boxer who likes close quarter combat. Terrafin built up his brawny biceps on the beaches of the Dirt Sea, where he worked as a lifeguard. In between fin-ups and jaw-curls he would patrol the dry, sandy waves and save struggling dune-swimmers from a lifetime of finding sand in unusual places. One day, an explosion in the sky threatened every swimmer, surfer and jet-skier in (and above) the Dirt Sea. Terrafin leapt from his life-saving seat and cleared the area in seconds. Moments later, the blast burned across the sand and scorched it into a solid sheet of glass.
Now unemployed, Terrafin trained himself as a tournament boxer. He even developed his own signature move: the risky 'over under', where he would punch, dive underground, and surface for the finishing blow. After body-slamming every suitable successor into stunned submission, Terrafin hung up his boxing belt. Now, at Master Eon's suggestion, Terrafin only dukes it out with enemies of Skylands - and often daydreams of knocking out Kaos in bare-knuckled bout.[1]
During his days as a Skylander, a burrowing Terrafin collided into the dormant Drill Sergeant who was buried underground. He brought the Arkeyan Ultron to Master Eon and the old Portal Master used his magic to fire up Drill Sergeant's systems to bring him to life. By Arkeyan custom, Drill Sergeant was then obligated to become Terrafin's servant, but the dirt shark didn't like the idea, so Terrafin's first order as master was for Drill Sergeant to not serve him at all.
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Terrafin was one of the Skylanders who assembled to Master Eon when Kaos and The Darkness approached the Ruins. The dirt shark then participated in the battle against Kaos' minions to protect the Core of Light along with the other Skylanders, stopping a lone Cyclops Chopper from fleeing before beating it with a few swift punches. Upon the Cyclops' defeat, Terrafin ate one of the XP orbs that were left behind by the enemy and burrowed through the ground, taking out a few enemies in his way with his dorsal fin and proceeded to chased down a small group of Cyclops Choppers before leaping out of the ground and bodyslamming them to nothingness.
As it seemed that the Skylanders were winning the struggle, Kaos released his Hydra into the fray, and it destroyed the Core of Light. During the confusion, Terrafin, along with the other Skylanders, were banished from Skylands and sent to Earth, where he became frozen as a toy due to the world's lack of magic. He waited for the new Portal Master to find and help him save Skylands.

Trivia
- Terrafin's name is a play on terrapin, a type of freshwater turtle.
- Terrafin was originally called Finn in the early beta gameplay of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
- While swimming underground using his Earth Swim attack, Terrafin hums a song he wrote years earlier, which some people think sounds similar to Lady Gaga's song, Bad Romance.[2]
- In his promotional art, Terrafin is shown to be blue and white, but yet in his toy form and in the game he is gray and white.
- His species is based on the term "land shark".
- Terrafin's design bears similarities to the Street Sharks.
- According to Terrafin in the Beginning Trailer, Kaos owes him five dollars.
- When Terrafin collects a Treasure Chest in Giants, he says "Where's my five dollars?"
- Land Sharks have the ability to literally 'swim' in the ground.
- In the Toy Fair 2011 debut trailer of Spyro's Adventure, Terrafin's toy form is different from the final version.
- Terrafin is one of the nine Skylanders who can summon helpers (the others being Sonic Boom, Double Trouble, Warnado, Pop Fizz, Hot Head, Eye Brawl, Zoo Lou and Countdown).
- Terrafin is the only Earth Skylander who does not earn a 40+ armor upgrade at some point.
- This is mainly because he is the only Earth Skylander who doesn't have an extra armor upgrade.
- The strategy guide for Skylanders: Giants incorrectly states his catchphrase as "It's Beatin' Time!".
- There is a glitch than when burrowing underground with Terrafin, if you happen to burrow underneath food, he will eat it (once you get his Soul Gem Ability) but his health will not replenish.
- The same will happen if he touches Good Magic (in Wilikin Village and Bringing Order to Kaos!).
- He can collect Good Magic without getting his Soul Gem ability.
- The same will happen if he touches Good Magic (in Wilikin Village and Bringing Order to Kaos!).
- Series 2 Terrafin has the Spiked Knuckles upgrade, giving him barbed knuckledusters.
- He resembles Knuckles from some Sonic the Hedgehog games, as they both have spiked knuckles at some point and both can go underground.
- He also resembles Balrog from the Street Fighter Series and TJ Combo from the Killer Instinct series as all three are boxers.
- His Series 3 claws are similar to Wolverine from X-Men.
- Despite being a Dirt Shark, Terrafin doesn't possess a tail, which is a trait commonly seen on most dirt shark inhabitants in Skylanders: Swap Force.
