“Ninja skills and the fiendishness of a bird.”

– Villain Vault

Tae Kwon Crow, formerly known as the Great Hawkmongous, is a crow who is one of the Dark trappable villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. He is a ninja who serves as leader of the Sky Pirates in the Skyhighlands.

Tae Kwon Crow encountered the Skylanders throughout the hideout, not knowing who they are. He challenged them to a few games of Skystones Smash, before ultimately battling the Skylanders atop the pirate stronghold for the possession of the crystal prism.

In Skylanders: Imaginators, Tae Kwon Crow has changed elements to Fire, and has become a Sensei training Imaginators of the Ninja Battle Class

Trivia

• He is the second trappable villain who changes his name (the first being Threatpack).
• He is the only bird villain with featureless eyes.
  • He is also the second playable bird character with featureless eyes, the first being Free Ranger.
• He and Cross Crow are the only villains who are not accompanied by any other villain in a chapter.
  • Coincidentally, they are both crows.
  • Also, despite this, neither of their chapters have zones where Skylanders of their elements are stronger.
• He is the seventh playable ninja in the Skylanders series, the others being Stealth Elf, Ninjini, Stink Bomb, Lob-Star, Whisper Elf, Mini Jini, and Nightshade
  • He and Nightshade are the only two ninjas to be trappable villains.
• His name is a play on "tae kwon do", a type of martial arts.
• Upon his first encounter with the Skylanders, Tae Kwon Crow didn't figure out who they were, even after his defeat.
• When being captured, Tae Kwon Crow breaks the fourth wall when wondering why his name was changed to Tae Kwon Crow.
  • Refusing to play Skystones with him also has him gloat over keeping you stuck, as whenever he appears an invisible wall blocks the path further until he's beaten.
  • This makes him the second trappable villain to break the fourth wall. The first was Blaster-Tron and the third was Kaos.
  • This also suggests that the real names of the villains you capture also aren't the names they were given, not unlike some Skylanders.
• In the Wii version, he doesn't change colors after evolving.
  • This makes him the first villain to do so, before the Bone Chompy.
• He is the only bird Villain to wear pants.
• Tae Kwon Crow is one of six Villains who do not try to persuade the Portal Master into capturing them, let alone being aware of their ultimate fate. (the others being The Gulper, Threatpack, Chill Bill, Lob Goblin, and Brawlrus).
• Hood Sickle and Tae Kwon Crow are the first characters to change elements permanently.
