- – Blobbers
Blobbers is a Mabu who the Skylanders first encountered on Shattered Island in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He later makes a few recurring appearances throughout the main console series, often as a victim of his own misfortune.
Personality
Although Blobbers is knowledgeable, he lacks physical strength. He also has a history of making bad decisions.[2]
Story
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Blobbers first appears on Shattered Island, where the Skylander aids him by moving a Turtle off the bridge for him to rescue other Mabu villagers on the other side of Turtle Gully. He also explains Monster Gates and Elemental Gates to the Skylander, and then asks for help in rescuing the Mabu royal family, trapped within their destroyed palace.
Blobbers later appears in Molekin Mine, working as a supervisor for the Molekin mining expedition for the Crucible of the Ages before the cave they were in collapsed, resulting in the Skylanders needing to rescue them.
Skylanders: Giants
After the events of Spyro's Adventure, Blobbers was drawn to Cutthroat Carnival, where he thought was the last known place where one could purloin a churro. The Pirates told Blobbers that if he worked for them, he could eat all the churros he wanted. The instant Blobbers heard that, he hastily signed a contract without first finding out how much the job paid (nothing) and what his hours would be (all of them - he got no days off). Thus, another bad decision sealed by Blobbers.[2]
When the Skylanders arrived in Cutthroat Carnival, Blobbers wanted them to take him back to their ship to get out of the carnival. However, when Flynn was discovered not paying back a Seadog Pirate named Bowers, the Skylanders were forced to flee back to the Dread-Yacht, leaving Blobbers behind.
Blobbers also appeared in Bouncer's Heroic Challenge, where he had gotten lost inside a dungeon. The player must first find him, then, roll him back to the exit (as while the Skylander was trying to find food for him, he found some and ate so much he became a bloated ball).
Skylanders: Trap Team
Blobbers appears again on Know-It-All Island. After getting himself into another situation due to his poor-decision making, he guides the Skylanders through parts of the island until the presence of Trolls caused him to step aside and allow Buzz to guide them.
He appears later at Skylanders Academy, where he initiates Kaos' Villain Quest called "Who Wants Kaos Kake?". He joined a baking contest, where he mentioned Batterson and Chef Pepper Jack had entered, and asked the Skylander to find the "most evil being in Skylands, not evil BEAN", to make a special recipe called "Kaos Kake".
Rift into Overdrive
Sometime after the events in Know-it-All Island, Blobbers moved to a nearby village, and is asked by the village elder to return and speak to the Stone Heads about the Rifts opening all over Skylands. On the way, he meets a few Skylanders and Flynn that also seek their knowledge, and they attempt to obtain answers from a nearby Stone Head. However, a Rift is opened by Kaos above the island, and they are rescued just in time by Stormblade and Spitfire, who return them safely to Blobbers' village. While the Skylanders depart after the Rift Engines mentioned by the late stone creature before the destruction of the island, the Mabu returns with Flynn to Skylanders Academy to inform the others.
Skylanders: Imaginators
Blobbers always appeared following a Surprise Attack combat sequence on the M.A.P. to congratulate the Skylander for defeating the enemies (with the exception of the quest to find cake ingredients, in which Flynn may appear instead). He noticed that the enemies were carrying an Imaginite chest, and assumed the Skylander was interested in it. If the Surprise Attack is initiated during the cake quest, and Flynn appears, a cake ingredient is awarded instead.
Blobbers can be found in Shellmont Shores, where it is revealed that he owns a house that had been ravaged by the mini brainstorms. He also appeared in the Lost Imaginite Mines, a location he found after studying in the Skylander Academy's library. When they came upon a cluster of Imaginite inside the mines, Blobbers tried to use it to right the wrongs of Skylands and make his own version entitled "Skylands 2.0" but accidentally activated the mines' security system and was flung off. He later returned, saving the Skylander from the Rubble Maker and sheepishly suggested not talk about his plan of making a Skylands 2.0 when they get back to Skylander Academy.

Trivia
- Blobbers is the only Mabu in Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure to not have a dark colored ring around his nose and mouth in both his character icon and in-game model.
- In the PS3/Xbox 360/PC versions of Spyro's Adventure, there is a glitch that you can perform with Blobbers on Shattered Island. When approaching the first turtle puzzle and hitting him (with a ranged attack) just before the cutscene, he won't turn around and face the Skylanders. The cutscene will still play, but he would be stuck facing the turtle.
- In Stonetown, the Mabu who speaks in the beginning cutscene of the level shares the same voice and character portrait as Blobbers. It may be possible that this Mabu was intended to be Blobbers. However, the Mabu is only referred to as "Citizen".
- It is unknown how Blobbers escaped Cutthroat Carnival in Skylanders: Giants.
- Blobbers also has a cousin named Clobbers that lives in Cursed Tiki Temple.
- Producer Michael Graham stated that Blobbers may be a villain in a future Skylanders game.[3] It is quite possible he was talking about the villain Mab Lobs from Skylanders: Trap Team.
