- – 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 the Tower of Time Adventure Pack, but is also available in a single pack.
Background
Personality
Pop Thorn is sweetness and light until something ruffles his spines. Nothing needles him more than being taken for granted. He doesn't let anyone walk all over him, and ensures that his foes get the point.[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.
Story
History
Of all the species in Skylands, Pufferthorns are among the cutest. Unfortunately for them, they're also the best suited to brushing the tangles out of troll hair. For centuries, Pufferthorns accepted their lot as troll hair-care products, until Pop Thorn decided enough was enough. He stood up to the brutes, using his spiky fighting skills to teach them a lesson. Trolls no longer use Pufferthorns as combs, and brave Pop Thorn is now the most adorable member of the Skylanders.[2]
