- – Tree Rex's official catchphrase
Tree Rex is a Life Skylander and one of the eight Giants in Skylanders: Giants. He is available exclusively in the Skylanders: Giants Starter Pack and Portal Owners Pack.
Background
Personality
Tree Rex is a natural protector who is as wise as he is majestic, unwavering in his mission to protect Skylands from evil magic.[1] He has also dedicated his life to mainting the natural balance of all things.[2]
Biography
Long ago before the Giants protected Skylands, Tree Rex was a majestic tree living peacefully in the ancient woods. But this tranquil peace came to an end when the Arkeyans built a nearby factory to produce war machines. After years of his soil being poisoned by the magic and tech waste from the factory, he mutated into who he is now - a powerful Giant who will crush anything that threatens the natural order of things.
Story
History
Long ago before the first Giant had set foot on Skylands, there stood a tall, towering tree. It loomed above the other trees in the forest and shielded the creatures below with its mighty branches. When the Arkeyans built a factory at the edge of the forest, little did they know it would ultimately spell their doom. Magic leaked from the factory, poisoning the soil over hundreds of years. Slowly, bit by bit, that tallest tree began to mutate. Its branches became arms, its trunk became a body and its roots formed into a particularly massive pair of legs. Tree Rex was born, and he wasn't happy. He immediately stomped the facotry flat, then set off to find out who had stuck it there in the first place so he could stomp them flat too. Tree Rex believes there is a natural order to all things, and anyone who threatens that order had better prepare for a squishing.[3]
The Kaos Trap
When Hugo called for any available Skylander teams to help Stealth Elf, Pop Fizz and Wash Buckler against an army of trolls, Gill Grunt's team, which consisted of Star Strike and Tree Rex, were unable to help as they were busy evacuating the inhabitants of Stonetown from a flood released from a cracked dam. Tree Rex was holding back a stone slab to keep the rushing waters at bay, while ushering his two companions to hurry before it gave way.
Return of the Dragon King
When Malefor was on his way to attack the Skylanders Academy, Tree Rex, the Giants and other Skylanders were summoned to stop the evil dragon. The Giants managed to grab hold of the Malefor's tail to hold him down, but were caught off guard when the mechanical tail was also made as a weapon, allowing Malefor to knock Tree Rex and the other Giants off-balance. In the end, all forty Skylanders, including the Giants, were defeated in a single blow, allowing Malefor to absorb their powers with a crystal to make himself more powerful. Once the crystal was destroyed by Spyro, Tree Rex and the other Skylanders were granted back their strength and powers.
Rift into Overdrive
In response to the sky rifts appearing around Skylands, Tree Rex and the other Giants were assigned to directly protect the Core of Light stationed at the Skylanders Academy in case of a direct assault. The giant ent calmed Bouncer's fears when the robot giant expressed worry regarding the sky rifts that were threatening Skylands. Knowing that they are the first Skylanders, Tree Rex knew that the other Skylanders would look up to the Giants in need of courage and hoped that the others would find the answer to the rifts. When Kaos captured Master Eon and demanded the Skylanders to surrender the Core of Light, Spyro sent out the Giants, who proceeded to break apart the whole island, hurling the rocky remains at the attacking airships.
Gameplay
Tree Rex can smash his arm against the ground to crush enemies. When upgraded further, he can make his arm spikey. He can also charge at enemies and crush enemies with his elbow and shoot beams at opponents. In Skylanders: Battlecast, he is able to grow roots to restore his own health while increasing his maximum amount, being a formidable tank. His Special Ability is Overgrowth, increasing his max health, and his signature Gear is the Thorncaster, randomly increasing the cost of enemy spells.

Trivia
- Tree Rex's name is a pun on the giant dinosaur, T. rex, also known as Tyrannosaurus rex.
- Tree Rex is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson who voices Bulkhead from Transformers Prime and Shredder from the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dark Laser from The FairlyOdd Parents.
- Stump Smash is also voiced by Richardson. Coincidentally, both Skylanders are Ents and of the Life element.
- Despite the rumours, counting his rings will not tell you Tree Rex's age.[4]
- His official catchphrase is similar to one of Hex's phrases, "Fear the Dark!", Fright Rider's "Fear the Spear!", and Gill Grunt's "Fear the Fish!".
- His catchphrase is also a pun on "Be Afraid of the Dark!".
- Tree Rex was the first Giant revealed for Skylanders: Giants.
- One of his battle cries, "Bouncy Bouncy!" is the name of one of Eye-Brawl's upgrades.
- He and Cynder are the only Skylanders to have an ally follow them continuously. Ironically, these are both unlocked by Soul Gems and both Skylanders are included with the Starter Pack for Giants.
- He, Thumpback, Eye-Brawl, and Ninjini are the only Giants who have sidekicks.
- His name was first used for 3DS versions of Stump Demons.
- Early gameplay photos show Tree Rex's eyes as green, but in concept art and the final version they are blue.
- In Giants and Trap Team, Tree Rex is able to wipe out surrounding enemies with his Big Thorn Shockwave Slam. However in Swap Force, it can only attack enemies in front of him.
- Tree Rex's attacks all use his right arm (except for his soul gem).
- There is a glitch in the Wii version of SWAP Force where his Woodpecker Pal will sometimes not appear. Thus, when making his Soul Gem upgrade useless whenever this occurs.
- He, Bouncer, Swarm and Jet-Vac are the only Skylanders from Giants who had their catchphrases sound differently during development and on their Meet the Skylanders videos.
