Dark Skylanders are a group of Skylanders who have the power to transform into darker versions of themselves using the power of the Petrified Darkness within them. They commonly take on a black, silver and white color scheme.
In Skylanders: SuperChargers, Dark enhanced Vehicles enter the fray along with their signature riders.
Background
Swap Force
While on a special mission, a team of Skylanders discovered a secret lair where Kaos was experimenting with a new discovery – Petrified Darkness – which he initially intended to use to stage a coup against Skylands. In their fight to stop Kaos, the lair exploded, releasing a cloud of pure Darkness. The Skylanders knew they couldn’t let it escape, so they absorbed this energy, transforming them into dark versions of themselves. Fortunately, Spyro learned to tame that darkness within him long ago. So with his help, these Skylanders now have also learned to control it – combining its power with their own to fight Kaos and the forces of evil.
Trap Team
Later, from his top secret lair, Kaos had engineered a dangerous material known as Dark Traptanium – which he intended to use to capture the Skylanders once and for all! Caught off guard, several Skylanders fell into his trap and were imprisoned within the crystal walls. But the Trap Masters arrived just in time and shattered the dark traps with their weapons made from pure Traptanium! Though they were free, they had absorbed enough of the dark energy within, transforming them into dark versions of themselves! Fortunately, they have learned to control it – combining the dark power with their own to fight Kaos and the forces of evil.

Trivia
- Their color scheme resembles the color scheme of the NFL's Oakland Raiders.
- Excluding the Dark Edition Starter Pack, Slobber Tooth, Wildfire, the Sea Shadow and Wolfgang are the only dark variants to not appear in any other starter pack.
- The Dark Sea Shadow is the only dark variant to also be part of the Dark element.
- It is also the only dark variant vehicle to not be part of any other starter pack.
- Despite the SuperChargers being mentioned in the comics and implied in backstories to have been recruited between Trap Team and SuperChargers, they share their Dark Edition backstory with SWAP Force Skylanders, which happened at a previous point. The same happens to Imaginators' Dark Edition, where characters in question weren't Skylanders or known at the time of the discovery of Petrified Darkness.
- Light is currently the only element without any Dark variants.
- As of Skylanders: Imaginators, Fire has more Dark variants than any other element.
- Skylanders: Giants is the only game with no new Dark Skylanders.
