Like all dragons, Sunburn is quite the prankster, but hates evil with a passion.[1] He uses his powers of teleportation to play practical jokes on his Skylander buddies, appearing when they least expect it. He doesn't like to stay in one place for more than a minute at a time.[2]
Biography
Born in the center of an active volcano, Sunburn is part dragon, part phoenix, and 100% fire power. He is very proud of his unique heritage, and is the only dragon and phoenix hybrid known to exist in Skylands. This rare combination makes him a desirable target for dark wizards and bounty hunters that seek to gain power by unlocking the secrets behind Sunburn’s ability to teleport. Joining the Skylanders gave Sunburn a way to help defend the world from evil, but also provided him with protection, as he remains one of the most sought after creatures in Skylands.
Story
History
For years, soothsayers and psychics had predicted the birth of a dragon-phoenix cross. So, when the newly hatched Sunburn was catapulted into the world from his cozy volcanic nest, he became the drag-nix (or phoe-gon?) everyone wanted to meet. Sunburn became a target for every thief, bandit and evil sorcerer who wanted a piece of his powers. Thankfully, being able to both throw flames and teleport was a handy defense. Still for Sunburn, Skylands was not a safe place. Luckily, Master Eon also noticed his amazing abilities and made him a Skylander. This not only provided Sunburn with protection, but gave him a license to incinerate evil. It also provided plenty of opportunities to play teleporting pranks on his new teammates.[3]
Stump Smash Crosses the Bone Dragon
Sunburn was one of the assembled Skylanders who attempted to fight against the rampaging Bone Dragon in the Giggling Forest, but was turned to stone. He was soon returned to normal when the Dragon agreed to un-freeze the petrified present characters.
Gameplay
Sunburn has the ability to breathe streams of fire. He also has a unique ability to teleport from one place to another, leaving a trail of flames behind. Sunburn is able to perform a fiery dash, where his speed increases while burning enemies in his path, which ends in an fiery explosion. It is said that his body temperature is so hot that his very molecules can't remain in one place and will teleport to a new location. Truth to be told, this ability has nothing to do with temperature, but is in fact a side effect of Sunburn being the only known half-dragon half-phoenix to exist.[4]

Sunburn's prototype version (identified as Hot Flash) as seen in the packaging of prototype Bash.
In his earlier promotional design, Sunburn looked more reptilian compared to his current bird-like design.
In a packaging for a prototype of Bash, the reptilian Sunburn was originally called Hot Flash. [6]
This original artwork is mistakenly displayed in Battle Mode of Spyro's Adventure (possibly a glitch exclusive to specific versions).
Sunburn, along with Flashwing, Scratch and Blades are the only winged Skylanders who cannot fly in game; however, Sunburn and Flashwing are both seen flying in their promotion trailers, and Scratch hovers while performing her attacks.
However, he is able to fly or at least hover in the 3DS version of Spyro's Adventure and Giants.
Sunburn's feathers are so hot, you can fry a troll egg on them![1]
He is one of the Skylanders in Spyro's Adventure who didn't make it to being a Series 2 in Skylanders: Giants, along with Boomer, Camo, Voodood, Ghost Roaster, Warnado, Dino-Rang, and Wham-Shell. (though Wham-Shell and Warnado get LightCore versions of themselves in Swap Force, Camo gets a Series 2 in the game and the rest of those Skylanders have an Eon's Elite in SuperChargers).
As of Imaginators, Sunburn is the only dragon from Spyro's Adventure who never got a Series 2 or LightCore counterpart.
He is able to teleport, and uses this ability to play pranks on the other Skylanders.
In the Skylanders Giants Official Guide, at one point, he is mistakenly called Sunbeam.
At another part, he is referred to as a female.
The explosions his teleporting ability leaves behind have a much smaller area of effect after Giants compared to the first game.
He is also the only Skylander to have an area named after him/her, as in Dragon's Peak there is an area called Sunburn's Rest.
However, a non-Skylander has a place named after it as well - Quigley (Quigley's Grotto).
Sunburn is voiced by Troy Baker who voices Steeljaw in Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015), Joel from The Last of Us, Loki in multiple Marvel Animated series, and Batman in Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes.
He and Blades are currently the only dragon Skylanders who came in Adventure Packs.
Sunburn is the only Skylander from Spyro's Adventure who has not had a repose in any sequel game so far.
Sunburn's name is a reference to the skin condition that comes about as a result of over-exposure to the sun's radiation without proper protection.
