Dark

Dark is one of the two new elements that debuted in Skylanders: Trap Team. This element is associated with the colors of indigo, dark purple, and teal, the latter also frequently given metal texturing or effects.

History

The Light and Dark were elements that were even unknown to Master Eon himself. However both were cut off from Skylands when the Core of Light was destroyed, leaving the Skylanders of the Light and Dark elements stranded in their respective realms. They would later return to Skylands when the immense explosion that destroyed Cloudcracker Prison broke open the very foundation of Skylands, officially revealing the presence of the two new elements.

Dark Skylanders, such as Blackout, know of their sinister origins, but show bravery, compassion and honor nonetheless.

Abilities

Dark Skylanders use the power of the darkness and its mysteries to overpower their foes, and like their Light counterparts powers relating to celestial bodies such as black holes. In toy form, they stand on pedestals of black smoke.

In Skylanders: Trap Team's turret challenges, Dark Skylanders have the ability Black Hole, which immediately destroys most enemies on the screen. In Kaos Doom Challenge, they can summon a dark orb atop a small elaborate pillar, which itself summons smaller orbs that home in on enemies.

In Skylanders: SuperChargers, Dark-aligned Portal Master Powers include a life-draining shadow aura and a damaging curse. Those are distributed in several conditions, and the names are as follows:

• Shadowy Shell
• Shadowy Entrance
• Cursed Strike
• Curse of Darkness
• Shadowy Desperation
