Skylands Rune

A sheet of Skylands Runes as seen in Hatterson's shop in Trap Team.

The Skylands Runes are a collection of recurring symbols seen in the Skylanders franchise. Though they are not the only symbols used, they frequently appear as decoration or empowering artifacts in many objects throught Skylands.

In Skylanders Universe, they were used as a language, with which the codes that Skylanders figures game with were "translated" to be summoned into the game; but in other entries they appear to have no literal meaning as no phrase written with them corresponds to the "language" used in that game. The Shattering Sigil is a notable artifact using a rune, and most Portals of Power feature several of those symbols engraved on them. The Runic Headband hat, first appearing on Skylanders: Swap Force, is a floating circlet made of these runes. In the Teleportation Swap Force zones magic runes are found within the dimensional rifts and are needed to seal the rifts.

• The Battle Hammer has the same symbol as the Shattering Sigil on its faces.
• The Mirror of Mystery proper has symbols on its four edges.

• A fast food chain that sells hamburgers and pizza in Monstrous Isles has runes on its banner.
• The sword conjured by the Darkness for Kaos' battle at the Sky Eater had the runes at each of its sides, and the corresponding runes appear on the ground as a tell for where it would hit next.
