- – Game description
Rotting Robbies are zombie enemies encountered only in Cadaverous Crypt and Spyro's Heroic Challenge in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. They slowly walk toward the Skylanders, often in groups, and swipe their arms to attack. They can only be defeated with fire-based attacks, such as Spyro's fire breath or any of the Fire elemental Skylanders' attacks. Any fire attack, cannon blast, or even candles will defeat them. If struck by other types of Skylanders' attacks, they will not take any damage but will eventually lose their limbs, causing them to attack by biting.
In Skylanders: Giants, Rotting Robbies are simply called Zombies and appear in Series 2 Chop Chop's, Series 2 Cynder's and Hot Dog's Heroic Challenge. In Hot Dog's, they can be defeated using any attack, while in Cynder's, they are the zombies you need to find the heads of. They are generally considered to have been replaced by Trog Wanderers.
In Return of the Dragon King, a group of Rotting Robbies and Bone Chompies chased and fought Cynder at the Cadaverous Crypts, causing her to lose a charm she needed to track down Calliope. The Undead fiends were soon driven off by Wallop.
