The Ancients were mystical beings in the Skylanders series who created the Core of Light. It was said that the Ancients "were wise beyond imagination, but lazy beyond measure", a quote from the Book of Paper. The book further notes the Ancients designed amazing technology and built many incredible machines such as the Rift Engines. But long naps often took priority. They claimed the naps were a necessary part of the creative process and that personal hygiene was a mere distraction.

The Ancients created everything in Skylands using Mind Magic, but sealed the power away to prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. They are mentioned in Blastermind's backstory as having used Psionic Power Crystals that amplified their thoughts.

History

In their haste to explore new worlds and spread the light of Skylands, the Ancients created the Dark Rift Engine. This inadvertantly released The Darkness, who proceeded to wreck havoc across Skylands with legions of evil. The Skylanders of old held back the minions of The Darkness until a solution was made known when the Ancients created the Core of Light, which successfully repelled the Darkness to the dark corners of Skylands. Thousands of years ago the Ancients locked away one of their members in a jar thousands of years ago for trying to use Mind Magic for evil.

Trivia

• It is implied by Kaos during the credit roll of Skylanders: Trap Team that the Ancients may be the development team of Toys For Bob.
  • This is probably just a joke however.
