Pop Thorn's official catchphrase

Pop Thorn is a pufferthorn who is one of the two new Air Skylanders in Skylanders: Swap Force. He is part of a new Adventure Pack called the Tower of Time.

Background

Personality

Pop Thorn is sweetness and light until something ruffles his spines. Nothing needles him more than being taken for granted.[1]

Biography

Pop Thorn hails from a race of creatures known as Pufferthorns. Often considered one of the cutest creatures in all of Skylands, they are generally quite timid and puff out sharp spines when scared. It is this ability that long ago led to the unfortunate legacy of being used as combs by giant trolls everywhere, being the sharp spines are perfect for brushing out tangles from their long, matted hair. But not long ago, one Pufferthorn took a stand. Tired of his race being used for nothing more than good grooming, Pop Thorn used his naturally thorny abilities to stand up and fight back against the giant trolls. Soon after, Master Eon made Pop Thorn a Skylander. And to this day, no trolls dare to comb their hair.

Trivia

  • Pop Thorn resembles a pufferfish.
  • He and Pop Fizz are the only Skylanders that have "Pop" in their names.
    • Coincidently, they both also have two changeable forms and were voiced by two American stand-up comedians.
  • His name is a play on the food "popcorn."
    • He's also the third Skylander to be named after a food; the first two being Hot Dog and Thumpling.
  • He appears to make squeaking noises whenever he walks.
  • Pop Thorn is mostly portrayed in his Puffed form.
  • His Soul Gem "To Puff or Not to Puff" gives him a glow effect.
    • It is also a play on Shakespeare's famous quote, "To be or not to be".
  • Pop Thorn is a bit similar to Wrecking Ball, both are blue, small, roundish, and have a cute appearance.
  • Pop Thorn was originally called Gasteroid.[2]
  • Whenever Pop Thorn changes from Pop to Puff form and vice versa, the resulting transformation can deal damage, but this is not mentioned in the upgrades.
  • Pop Thorn and Free Ranger are the only Air Skylanders who can't fly in-game.
    • Technically, however, Pop Thorn can fly when he puffs, and Free Ranger flies in his tornado form.
  • As seen in the Skylanders Short Cuts, Pop Thorn puffs up when he bluffs.
  • On the 3DS, the art of Puffed Pop Thorn will switch to a picture of his Popped form, not seen anywhere else, when switched.
