Lore Tablet

A lore tablet

Lore Tablets were collectibles found in Skylanders: Universe. They contained background information on the Skylanders and some had the equivalent of the Story Scroll collectibles from the console games. The former could be obtained by scanning or obtaining each Skylander.

Lore Tablets

Below is a list of lore tablets and their contents in the game.

Warnado

Warnado has hatched inside a rare Enchanted Twister. Although quite dizzy at first, over the passing years he grew to enjoy his whirling surroundings and learned many abilities and secrets of the Air Element. This led to Warnado becoming a powerful force and the only known turtle of his kind. Now, the only time he gets dizzy is when he's standing still.

Camo

Everyone who meets Camo asks two questions. How can he grow melons so fast and why do they explode? The answer to both is simple. Being half-plant, half-dragon, life energy flows through his scaly leaves, allowing him to cultivate fruits and vegetables at a tremendous rate. Plus, he just happens to like exploding melons.

Zook

Zook hails from a strange species who once lived their entire lives standing in one spot until Zook discovered they could walk simply by stepping out of the mud. After that, he became a wandering hero, using his bamboo tube as a bazooka that fires explosive thorns. Campfire songs were even written about him, although Zook would have preferred some nice haiku poetry if given a choice.

Double Trouble

On an expedition to find potion ingredients, Double Trouble came upon a rare Whispering Water Lily that was said to multiply the power of any spell. In his excitement, he ate the lily and performed a spell of his own. Suddenly he was surrounded by exact copies of himself. Despite having misunderstood exactly what would multiply, Double Trouble now enjoys the company of his clones... never mind that they are only half his size and explode on contact.

Sunburn

It is said that Sunburn's body temperature is so hot that even his very molecules simply can't remain in one place and will teleport to a new location. Truth be told, this ability has nothing to do with temperature. Rather, it is the side-effect of being the only half-dragon, half-phoenix, known to exist. Fortunately, this side-effect happens to be quite awesome and useful.

Cynder

While just an egg, Cynder was stolen by the henchman of an evil dragon named Malefor. For years, she spread fear throughout the lands until she was defeated in battle by Spyro the dragon. Now freed from the grip of Malefor, Cynder used her dark powers to make amends for her past. That said, most people still keep a safe distance... just in case.

Whirlwind

Whirlwind is an air dragon with unicorn ancestry-- two species that could not be more opposite in nature. Growing up, she never fit in with either group, so she spent her time with in the dark and stormy clouds, where she learned to harness the tempest power within her. Now, when anyone evil searches for a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, they are more likely to find their doom.

Zap

Zap was born into the royal family of water dragons, but a riptide washed him to a distant sea, where he was raised by electric eels. Growing up, he excelled in everything and even created a special gold harness that allows him to carry an endless electrical charge and shock things at a great distance. Zap also proved to be a gifted racer, outstripping any opponent... with the possible exception of the dolphins. With them, it became a good natured challenge to see who could keep up with Zap. But an electric current in his wake often reminded them who they were dealing with. Despite his mischievous streak, Zap grew to be a true protector of the seas and Skylands.

Bash

Bash always wanted to fly like other dragons. However, being made entirely of rock, he found this quite difficult. So after embracing his rocky nature, he learned to curl himself into a ball and roll with incredible momentum and force. He now thunders through Skylands, leaving a wake of destruction against any who threaten it. As the saying goes... if you can't beat 'em, roll over 'em.

Spyro

Spyro hails from a rare line of magical purple dragons that come from a faraway land few have ever traveled. It's been said that the Scrolls of the Ancients mention Spyro prominently - the old Portal Masters having chronicled his many exciting adventures and heroic deeds. Finally, it was Master Eon himself who reached out and invited him to join the Skylanders. From then on, evil faced a new enemy - and the Skylanders gained a valued ally.

Drill Sergeant

Like many Arkeyan artifacts, Drill Sergeant was buried for centuries. It was onlt a chance collision with a burrowing Terrafin that led to his systems firing up again. By Arkeyan custom, Drill Sergeant was obligated to become Terrafin's servent. This didn't sit well with Terrafin so his first order as master was for Drill Sergeant to not serve him at all... a command he continues to follow zealously to this day.

Stealth Elf

As a small child, Stealth Elf awoke one morning inside the hollow of an old tree with no memory of how she got there. She was taken in by an unusually stealthy, ninja-like forest creature in the deep forest. Under his tutelage, she spent the majority of her time training in the art of stealth fighting. Now, as a Skylander, she puts her skills to good use while also trying to uncover the mystery behind her origins.

Hex

Hex is a gifted and powerful sorceress who once traveled to the underworld to confront the Undead King named Malefor. There, she was unwillingly transformed into a member of the Undead. It is said that she has laughed only once since then-- apparently at an incident involving Trigger Happy, Slam Bam, and a gold coin in the rear end.

Voodood

Voodood was a brave warrior among his people. During his rite of passage, he entered the Cave of rials to prove his worth. He returned holding the legendary Axe Reaver and wearing the skull of an ancient dragon on his head. After that, Voodood quickly became warrior leader and defended his homeland from many beasts and invaders until he was the last of his tribe. Soon after, he joined the skylanders.

Drobot

Drobot was actually born a small, puny dragon... but he was the most intelligent of his clan. While exploring one day, he came upon some mysterious technology, which he used to assemble a robotic suit. Features include laser beams that shoot from his eyes, flight enhancement, and the ability to fire spinning gears. Now more powerful than most other dragons, Drobot helps protect the residents of Skylands.

Chop Chop

Chop Chop was once an elite warrior belonging to the ancient race of Arkeyan beings. Like many of the Arkeyans, he was created from a hybrid of elements - in his case, undead magic and technology. Chop Chop is a relentless, highly-skilled solider who wields a sword and shield made of an indestructible metal. With the Arkeyans having vanished long ago, Chop Chop wandered Skylands for centuries looking for his creators. Eventually, he was found by Eon and recruited as a Skylander.

Dino-Rang

For years, Dino-Rang trained to use the weapons of his tribe - earthen boomerangs. His people were skilled hunters in a world far away from the realm of Skylands. As he slept one night, a freak portal suddenly opened beneath him. Unsure of how... or why... he arrived in Skylands, Dino-Rang set out to explore the world that was suddenly his new home. Eventually becoming a Skylander, he now fights with his own brand of dino-justice, while seeking out the fabled Twin Diamond Boomerangs, which he believes could hold the clues to his greater destiny.

Terrafin

Terrafin hails from The Dirt Seas, where it was common to swim, bathe, and even snorkel beneath the ground. But a powerful explosion in the sky created a blast wave that turned the ocean of sand into a vast sheet of glass, putting an end to Terrafin's duty as the local lifeguard. Not one to stay idle, the brawny dirt shark found himself training in the art of boxing, and not long after he was local champ. Fighters came from all around to challenge him, but it was a chance meeting with a great Portal Master that led him to give up his title for a greater purpose.

Slam Bam

Slam Bam lived alone on a floating glacier in a remote region of Skylands, where he spent his time ice surfing, eating snow cones, and sculpting amazing ice statues. It was a peaceful life, until Kaos destroyed the glacier, stranding Slam Bam on an iceberg that drifted through the skies for days. He awoke on Eon's Island, where he was taken in and trained to become a Skylander. Now his ice sculptures serve as a frosty prison for any evil-doer that gets in his way.

Wham-Shell

Wham-Shell was ruler of a kingdom deep in the oceans of Skylands that for a long time lived peacefully. That is, until his underwater utopia was invaded by a legion of oil-drilling trolls that scattered his people to the wind. Armed with a powerful mace that had been handed down from one king to the next for generations, Wham-Shell defeated the greedy trolls and drove them away. Soon after, he joined the Skylanders to help defend against this type of atrocity ever happening again.

Wrecking Ball

Wrecking Ball was once a tiny grub worm about to become the main ingredient in an old wizard's cauldron of magic stew. But when he was dropped in, the wizard was shocked to see the little grub devour all of the soup and emerge from the cauldron 20 times larger and with a long, sticky tongue. The poor old wizard was even more surprised seconds later, when Wrecking Ball proceeded to swallow him whole. Eventually he ran, quite literally, into the powerful Portal Master Eon, who was intrigued by how he came to be and impressed with his unique abilities.

Lightning Rod

Lightning Rod once lived in the majestic Cloud Kingdom, where his countless acts of heroism along with his winning smile and electric physique made him the most famous storm giant in the realm. He was a true celebrity, and the palace halls were littered with statues of the chiseled hero. But all the praise and admiration could never quite satisfy Rod, who yearned for something more. As luck would have it, he met an adventurous young dragon named Spyro, who told him fantastic stories of faraway places and dangerous adventures. Rod was spellbound, and he set off with Spyro to seek an audience with Eon to join the Skylanders.

Eruptor

Eruptor is a force of nature, hailing from a species that lived deep in the underground of a floating volcanic island until a massive eruption launched their entire civilization to the surface. He's a complete hot head - steaming, fuming, and quite literally erupting over almost anything. To help control his temper, he likes to relax in lava pools, particularly because there are no crowds.

Sonic Boom

Long ago, Sonic Boom took refuge high atop a mountain peak in the far reaches of Skylands, hoping to keep her griffin hatchlings safe. But despite her precautions, a devious wizard tracked her down and placed a wicked curse on the griffin eggs. Once hatched, the young hatchlings can live for only mere moments before they magically return to their shells... only to be hatched again in an endless cycle. Wanting to prevent such evil from happening to others, Sonic Boom joined the Skylanders and has trained her young to defend Skylands each time they are hatched.

Flameslinger

Flameslinger is an Elven archer with incredible aim. In fact, he is so good that he wears a blindfold just to prove it. When he was young, he rescued a fire spirit from a watery doom and was gifted an enchanted bow and magical fire boots that he now masterfully uses to defeat evil throughout Skylands. With the scorched earth he leaves behind, you can always tell where he has been.

Ghost Roaster

There was a time when Ghost Roaster was neither a ghost nor a roaster. Instead he was a chef living in a village high in the mountains. One day, while clipping wool from a sheep to use in a recipe, he accidentally fell into the Valley of the Undead and transformed into a ghost eating ghoul! After eating an entire spectral village, its Ethereal Ruler chained Ghost Roaster to a spiked ball as punishment - its rattle heard as he wanders the night, warning nearby spirits. When Master Eon eventually heard of his predicament, he figured even a ghost eater could be useful. So he made Ghost Roaster a Skylander... after he promised to eat only evil ghosts.

The Ancients

It was said that the Ancients "were wise beyond imagination, but lazy beyond measure", a quote from the Book of Paper. The book further notes the Ancients designed amazing technology and built many incredible machines. But long naps often took priority. They claimed the naps were a necessary part of the creative process and that personal hygiene was a mere distraction.

Lairs

It is often asked how one acquires their own Lair. Professor P. Grungally once theorized that it required exact planetary alignment at an exact point in time while wearing a boot made by a rare breed of trolls without feet. Later it was discovered that every Portal Master already has a Lair located on their own personal Skyland and that none of the above is actually needed.

Snacks and Food

The difference between snacks and food are subtle but significant. Snacks generally come from the Elements and their nutritional value is somewhat dependent on a Skylanders Hero Level. It is also true that snacks have never been known to result in bees shooting out from one's nose. Then again, neither has food.

Trigger Happy

Trigger Happy is not just his name, it's his solution to every problem. No one knows from whence he came - he simply showed up one day with his hand-crafted shooters, blasting gold coins everywhere and it's been like that ever since. And while his home is a great mystery to everyone throughout the lands, they all know him as a crazy goldslinger that will take down any bad guy... usually without bothering to aim.

Gill Grunt

Gill Grunt was a brave soul who joined the Gillmen military in search of adventure. While journeying through a misty lagoon in the clouds, he met an enchanting mermaid. He vowed to return to her after his tour. Keeping his promise, he came back to the lagoon years later, only to learn a nasty band of pirates had kidnapped the mermaid. Heartbroken, Gill Grunt began searching all over Skylands. Though he had yet to find her, he joined the Skylanders to help protect others from such evil, while still keeping an ever-watchful eye for the beautiful mermaid and the pirates who took her.

Stump Smash

Stump Smash was once a magical tree that spent most of his time sleeping peacefully in the forests of Skylands. Then one day he awoke to discover his entire forest had been chopped down and logged by trolls - himself included. His long branches were gone, leaving him with only powerful mallets for hands, which he used to smash the troll tree-cutting machines. Although still grumpy about what happened to him, Stump Smash has vowed to protect Skylands against those who would do it harm... especially trolls.

Boomer

Boomer was once a member of the troll army as a specialist in blowing things up -- something he loves to do. However, he left the trolls after learning their sole mission was war and conquest. Not long after, he was invited to be a Skylander the only troll ever to win such an honor. Now he uses his skills to fight evil with explosive results.

Ignitor

On his first quest as a knight, Ignitor was tricked by a cunning witch into wearing a magical suit of armor that he was told would resist fire from a dragon. But as it turned out, it was made of cursed steel. He journeyed to a dragon's lair where a single blast of fire transformed him into a blazing spirit, binding him to the suit of armor for eternity. Despite this setback, Ignitor remains a spirited knight who is always fired up to protect Skylands from evil... and find the witch that tricked him.

Prism Break

Prism Break was once a fearsome rock golem who didn't like to be disturbed. Then, an accidental cave-in left him buried underground. One hundred years later, a mining expedition digging for valuable jewels discovered him by chance with a well-placed blow from a pick axe - something Prism Break doesn't talk about. After 100 years of solitude, he found that the pressure of the earth had transformed him emotionally as well as physically, turning his crude rocky arms into incredible gems with powerful energy. Grateful for being free of his earthly prison, Prism Break decided to put his new abilities to good use and dedicated himself to protecting Skylands.

Infinite Skylands

Throughout the history of Skylands, brave explorers have piloted airships far and wide to see what lies beyond it's cloud-filled skies. Some were lost in the Great Black Whirl Storm while others were shipwrecked on strange and dangerous islands. But one thing has always proven true - there is seemingly no boundary or end to the world of Skylands.

Portal Masters

Neither royal blood nor a sea of gold can make you a Portal Master. Either you are lucky enough to be born with the power to use a Portal or you are not. What is unknown is why the number of Portal Master rises and falls through the centuries. The most accepted theory is that they simply appear when they are needed most.

Portal of Power

While the shape and size of Portals vary, under the control of a true Portal Master, these mystic devices can connect two points in space, Dimension and, if we are to believe ancient legends, even time. Portal Masters can send Skylanders and magic to the other side.

Arkeyans

The Arkeyans were an ancient civilization whose technological remnants can be seen all throughout Skylands. Many eons ago, they had protected Skylands from The Darkness, but also used their knowledge of magic and technology to build terrible weapons of war to rule Skylands with an iron fist. But like all powerful civilizations, it eventually came to an end and they mysteriously vanished.

Skylanders

Skylanders have a bond with their Portal Masters that is unbreakable. But they are not servants. They have chosen to serve their Portal Master and do so eagerly. Although Skylanders come from many different realms and worlds, each knows it is their greater destiny to use their abilities to protect Skylands.

World of Skylands

Skylands is an endless sea of clouds in which float rocky islands too numerous to count. Some of these Islands are as large as an entire kingdom while others overflow with salty seas or are swollen with fiery volcanoes. Each is unique.
