The Skylanders are legendary heroes and champions in the world of Skylands, as well as the only playable characters in the Skylanders series. Their ancient mission is to protect Skylands and its magical Core of Light, a great machine that repelled The Darkness, the ultimate force behind all evil. Using their magical powers and machinery, the Skylanders defended their world for generations, keeping peace and balance, until Kaos arrived and banished them to Earth.
The most powerful of all Skylanders are the Elder Elementals.
Abilities
Each Skylander is aligned to a single element: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, and Tech. The elemental alignment of each Skylander makes them weak against one element and strong against another element in the Battle Arena: Earth is weak against Air, but strong against Tech, Life is weak against Undead, Fire is weak against Water, Magic is weak against Tech, etc. This "rock-paper-scissors" mechanic is somewhat offset by the variety of stats and abilities.
History
It was said that the Giants were the original Skylanders who first defeated Kaos and his machines many moons ago. The Giants battled against the tyrannical Arkeyans for the freedom of Skylands. In a final battle against the Arkeyans, the Giants were shot to Earth as a form of sacrifice, where they’ve been buried underground ever since. As the years passed, these enormous Skylanders were soon considered as a myth.
The Skylanders have an unbreakable bond with their Portal Masters. Though they are not servants, the Skylanders chose to serve their Portal Master and do so eagerly. Despite the fact that the Skylanders come from different realms and worlds, each knows it is their destiny to use their abilities to protect Skylands. They are also friends with the Fairies, particularly because fairies can turn treasure into upgrade magic that gives the Skylanders new powers and abilities, including fresh breath.
When a Skylander travels through a portal, it is usual for them to yell out a fierce battle cry when they appear. In fact, every year, there is a contest to see whose battle cry is the loudest; the most frightening, and the best for making milk shoot out from people's noses.
When Skylanders are defeated in battle, they are instantly teleported back home where they can heal and rest.

Trivia
- There's a dragon Skylander for each element, three of which are hybrids between dragons and another species. (Whirlwind, Sunburn, and Camo)
- All of the Skylanders originally spoke their own gibberish languages, but as the project went on, Toys for Bob decided to give fourteen of them actual English lines.
- All Skylanders have at least one (and some as many as four) unique animations that only run when they’re getting upgraded. They are some of the most complex and creative animations in the game.
