The Candy Soldiers are an army of candy constructs created by Pain-Yatta, with the Light and Dark energies he absorbed. They appeared in the Light in the Dark comic story arc, where they began to devastate parts of Skylands, and manage to deal heavy damage to Gearshift. Soon they fought with a team of Skylanders lead by Gearshift which eventually ended when Pain-Yatta absorbed too much Light and Dark energy, causing the Candy Soldiers to crumble into the harmless pieces of candy they were animated from.
