Sun Dragon is a scrapped character who is the early version of Camo, and appeared only in the Skylanders: The Beginning trailer, taking part in the battle against Kaos' army.

Character Development

Sun Dragon was one of the earliest Skylanders, both during the initial pitch of a Toy-themed Spyro game as a playable dragon, and as a Life Skylander during the Spyro's Kingdom phase. At this point, Sun Dragon had a more menacing design and a large head.

Though Sun Dragon was still in the roster during the early development of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, Camo originally looked like him, bearing the same attacks as well. It is known that his primary attack would have been throwing a sun ball forward and his second would be stringing a line of firecrackers. His design still had Sun Dragon's appearance when The Beginning trailer was made, and changes to Camo's character design was made very late during production.

While Sun Dragon himself is now a scrapped character design that never made it to the final line of playable characters for Spyro's Adventure, Camo became his successor.
