- “Okay. Pull yourself together, Glumshanks. You can do this! You're evil enough now! You wanna go back to washing Kaos' dirty socks?! This is it! This. Is. Your. Shot!”
- – Glumshanks
Glumshanks is Kaos' right hand henchman, butler, and only friend. He is taller, (arguably) smarter, more sensible, and slightly (physically) stronger than Kaos, but still serves him.
Personality
Glumshanks is Kaos's sidekick and butler. He has always been loyal and faithful to Kaos, even though he is often in despair over his hair-brained plans and terrible jokes.[1]
Story
History
Glumshanks flunked everything back when he was in the Troll academy, from rudimentry detonation to advanced annihilation. He couldn't work out which end of the dynamite to light. He eventually ended up becoming the butler for the young prince Kaos.
After Kaos abandoned his royal family, Glumshanks remained loyal to Kaos and headed out into the wilderness along with the tyrant. They eventually went across the universe in search of a portal for Kaos' research of his magic until they reached Skylands where Kaos would begin his plan to destroy the Core of Light in order to take over that world and the universe.
Skylanders: The Machine of Doom
Glumshanks aided Kaos in his plan to seek out the Machine of Doom that is rumored to be an Arkeyan weapon powerful enough to destroy the Core of Light. Although not doing much besides unlocking the tomb to the Pyramid of Just Rewards (when Kaos was unable to do so himself) and holding Flynn hostage, the troll butler commonly corrects his master's errors only to be berated by the evil Portal Master as a result.
When the plan to trap the Skylanders in the pyramid failed, Glumshanks returned to Kaos' lair.
Skylanders: Spyro versus The Mega Monsters
Glumshanks was by Kaos's side when the evil Portal Master claimed to be a hero by defeating a rise of mega-sized creatures. Soon, Kaos 'defeated' a mega-sized troll (that was actually an enlarged Glumshanks) from harming a Molekin named Diggs, much to the Skylanders' annoyance. The troll then followed Kaos to the Eternal Archives to steal a forbidden book, but they were stopped by the Skylanders.
Skylanders: Gill Grunt and the Curse of the Fish Master
Glumshanks helped Kaos retrieve the Water Fragment that was supposedly the Fish Master's Crown in order to reassemble the Mask of Power needed to destroy the Core of Light. While Kaos was gloating at the Skylanders after sinking the pirate ship they were on, the butler quickly pointed out that he and Kaos should make their leave or they would be sunk along with the ship, and the evil Portal Master, along with Glumshanks, retreated.
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Glumshanks' role remains unchanged as he still assists Kaos in his evil plans to rule Skylands until the tyrant finally suceeded in destroying the Core of Light. The troll doesn't make his actual in-game appearance until later in Lava Lakes Railway, when he was sent by Kaos to sabotage the train tracks leading to the Eternal Fire Source. At the sight of the Skylanders and Diggs, Glumshanks flees deeper into the Lava Lakes. The Skylanders soon rebuilt the train tracks and continue their way through the mines, with Diggs unknowingly almost running over Glumshanks with the train.
Afterwards, Glumshanks returned to Kaos' lair, singed and dsoriented from his task at the Lava Lakes. When Kaos wonders what was wrong and told him that Glumshanks looked different, the troll nearly lost his temper with the little tyrant. At that moment, the Core of Light is quickly repelling The Darkness, flooding Kaos' lair with bright light from the sun. Kaos ordered Glumshanks to take the Lair back to the Outlands to get away from the light, and the troll isn't seen again afterwards.
Skylanders: Giants
After Kaos's exile from Skylands, Glumshanks searched everywhere for Kaos until he found the evil Portal Master on Earth inside a toy store. Once Kaos returned to Skylands, Glumshanks accompanied him inside the Arkeyan Conquertron to search for the Iron Fist of Arkus that would allow Kaos to rule over Skylands and ressurect an army of Arkeyans under his command.
Kaos, Conquertron, and Glumshanks finally opened the Secret Vault of Secrets and found the map to the City of Arkus, the map was accidentally destroyed due to a mishap made by Kaos, and unfortunately for Glumshanks, he was the only one to have gotten a look at it. Back at Kaos' Kastle, Glumshanks was hooked up to one of Kaos' machines which allowed his memories to be viewed by other people. Kaos used this to look back through his memories (including one which Kaos had said "Well done, Glumshanks", which Kaos denied remembering). After getting the right memory, Kaos left Glumshanks strapped to the chair, but eventually released him.
Glumshanks appeared at the end when the Kaos was defeated by the Skylanders, and both the butler and Conquertron rescued Kaos when the City of Arkus was collapsing in on itself. The Arkeyan Conquertron eventually lost power, but not before taking Kaos and Glumshanks to safety, blowing up in the process. The evil Portal Master and his butler returned to the castle with Glumshanks singed from the explosion. Glumshanks was then shocked to see Kaos' Mom and promptly hid behind his master.
Skylanders: Swap Force

Glumshanks still serves Kaos and goes along with his master's plan to use the Evilizer to take over the Cloudbreak Islands. When Kaos felt that Glumshanks wasn't confident about his evil plans (since the Skylanders always win), he evilized Glumshanks, who later states that he gives up his butler job. After the Skylanders defeated him in Rampant Ruins, Glumshanks expresses his chance to being evil, and not having his job too hard. Also, he expressed that this is his shot, before he flew away when the vehicle he was using blew up and he flew away.
Later, Glumshanks came back to Kaos' to notice him, but gets startled when he sees a evil figure on Kaos' TV screen. He notices it's his mother, and she greeted Glumshanks for what he is welcome. Soon, Glumshanks sees a bunch of visitors that are in the dining room and sees that it's Kaos' Mom.
