“His gulp is worse than his bite.”

– Villain Vault

The Gulper, also known as Gulper, is a gelantinous blob who is a Water villain in Skylanders: Trap Team. He is part of a group of strong villains called the Doom Raiders.

Personality

The Gulper is constantly hungry, eager to devour anything edible that can fit in his mouth. He is also incredibly dim-witted.

Story

History

From the moment he oozed from the ceiling of the Gelatinous Caverns, The Gulper had possessed an enormous appetite and insatiable thirst for anything and everything he could stuff in his mouth. At a young age, he won first place in the annual Deep-Fried Triple-Cheeseburger eating contest – and has proudly worn the Crown of Gluttony ever since. But it was his particular affinity for soda, which causes him to grow to colossal proportions and go on rampages, that first caught the eye of the Golden Queen. She was looking for special types of people – or creatures – to join her Doom Raider gang that was bent on unleashing total mayhem. It was also her desire to recruit someone who was incredibly dim-witted, so that if they were ever captured, the Skylanders would not be able to extract any useful information. The Gulper fit these requirements to a tee!

Skylanders: Trap Team

After escaping from Cloudcracker Prison, The Gulper landed in Soda Springs where he began consuming the soda that were made by the Mabu for the soda festival. The more soda The Gulper drank, the bigger he became, allowing him to rampage through the village. Eventually the Skylanders and the Trap Masters arrived and stopped The Gulper by tricking him into drinking a vat full of bottom-feeding, eel-flavored soda. This caused him to shrink down to his normal size, allowing the Skylanders to capture The Gulper with ease.
