Undead
Undead is one of the ten elements in the Skylanders series. Despite its dark origins, the Undead Element is a vital part of the Core of Light. It combines with the other Elements in some unusual, and unexpected, ways.[1] This element is associated with shades of gray, white, pure black and occasionally thistle and grayish blue.
History
Many creatures, including the Skylanders, have been changed forever as a result of visiting the Underworld. Some have found their very souls twisted beyond recognition. Others, such as Cynder, simply like hanging out in graveyards. But all have it within themselves to use their Undead abilities for good. The Undead Element inhabits the darkest corners of Skylands, lurking in the shadows, ready to pounce - and then serve up a lovely snack or tell a terrible joke.[2]
Abilities
The Skylanders who are associated with the Undead element are mostly creatures who hail from the Underworld such as skeletons or ghouls and living creatures who have been corrupted by the element. They use the power of the undead and spooky magic to aid them in battle. When forming a bridge to access their Elemental Gates, Undead Skylanders create a bridge that are formed from the bones of their fallen enemies.[3]
Undead-based Skylanders also stand on a pedestal that resembles a white skull when they're in their toy form. The white skull on the pedestal is known to glow in the dark on most figures. SuperChargers, on the other hand, stand on a pedestal of bones that do now glow in the dark.
In Skylanders: Trap Team 's turret challenges, Undead Skylanders have the special ability Spectre Swarm, which gradually damages enemies in an area. In Kaos Doom Challenge, they can summon skeletal hands as their towers, which throw flaming skulls at enemies and slam the ground while recharging.
In Skylanders: SuperChargers, Undead-aligned Portal Master Powers include summoning a flaming skull minion that attacks enemies for you and reduce the attack damage of enemies with an enervating curse. Those are distributed in several conditions, and the names are as follows:
- Skeletal Subject
- Enervating Entrance
- Enervating Strike
- Curse of Undeath
- Necromantic Desperation
Skylanders: Imaginators
Undead Imaginators have a greenish tinge to their attacks, and can choose four abilities as their secondary attack:
- Tombstone Timber - Press the secondary attack to hit your enemies with a tombstone attack.
- Last Laugh - Press the secondary attack to throw laughing skulls at your enemies.
- Soul Stealer - Press the secondary attack to turn the souls of your enemies into health orbs.
- Virus - Press the secondary attack to release a contagion that spreads around your enemies.
Weaknesses
While the Undead Element is strong against the Life Element, it is at the mercy of Magic. Spells and sorcery really take their toll, and Undead Elementals should beware the wrath of wizards.[1]
