– Villain Vault

Hood Sickle is a reaper who was originally one of the trappable Undead villains in Skylanders: Trap Team.

In Skylanders: Imaginators, Hood Sickle is a Dark-elemental Sensei and teaches Imaginators of the Sentinel Battle Class, changing slightly in appearance.

Abilities

Hood Sickle can strike with his energy scythe and teleport ahead, summoning black ghosts in his wake. If he has active ghosts, they will explode whenever his scythe is used.

As a Sensei, he switches his previous weapon for a double-ended scythe that is now made of steel.

Story

Skylanders: Trap Team

Hood Sickle was summoned by the Dreamcatcher as a surprise to stop the Skylanders' progress at Telescope Towers. The reaper was defeated despite his teleportation abilities and was captured.

Skylanders: Imaginators

At first glance, it’s easy to be frightened by Hood Sickle. Some say it’s his imposing stature that freaks them out. Others are unnerved by his menacing hood. But most just try to stay away from his long, sharp scythe – and it didn’t help that he had a bad habit of disappearing and then suddenly popping up behind unsuspecting people. In fact, the Trap Masters that locked him away in Cloudcracker Prison hoped they would never have to see him again. But Master Eon thought there might be a chance for Hoodsickle to change his ways. Everyone said Eon was crazy, but after spending time with the mysterious creep, Eon learned that Hoodsickle was actually not a bad guy – just really super spooky. Hoodsickle took his job of terrifying others very seriously, and Eon believed that perhaps he could bring a similar dedication to teaching others as a Sensei. Plus, he figured that Skylanders in training would certainly pay attention in his classes. This has all proven true, and Hoodsickle now teaches Sentinel Imaginators, who definitely hang on his every word. Or else.
