– Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure flavor text (PS3 / Xbox 360 / PC)

“This guy carries a time bomb, and he is not afraid to set it off! Stay out of his range when the countdown ends!”

– Skylanders: Universe description

Boom Fiends are gremlin-like enemies that carry bombs. When approached, they will run at the Skylanders all the while laughing maniacally. When they get close enough, the Fiends will light the fuse on the bombs they're holding and quickly attempt to explode on the Skylander. If successful, the explosion will inflict a significant amount of damage, and the Boom Fiends will destroy themselves in the process.

In Skylanders: Universe, they were part of the enemies group in Ground Defense from wave 6 and onwards.

Trivia

• In Skylanders: Giants, there is a Boom Fiend Skystone, but Boom Fiends only appear in Dragon's Peak, as their attack mechanic is used by Enfuego Chompies instead.
• In Giants, they will instantly light their fuse instead of waiting until they are close enough to the Skylanders.
• Boom Fiends are one of the few Adventure Pack enemies from Spyro’s Adventure that were not replaced in Giants.
• Flameslinger used to use Boom Fiends for target practice.
