- – Punk Shock's official catchphrase
Punk Shock is an anthropomorphic electric eel who is one of the Water Core Skylanders in Skylanders: Swap Force.
Character Development
During development, Punk Shock was originally male and more closely resembled an amphibian. As her method of attack, she would use a long electrified tongue, a can of worms and a fishing rod as weapons, or could summon a water snake. Punk Shock was soon designed as female, but there were other options for her main weapon, like the fishing rod, a scepter, a spear, a whip, an electric guitar, or an electric bow. There were also numerous other design choices for her facial design and hairstyle, before her final design remained and a different color scheme was chosen. Close to the end of development she was pink-skinned, yellow-striped, and yellow-crested, with her clothes being red and black.[2]
Her electrical traits originated from the scrapped Skylander, Krayken.[3]
Background
Personality
Punk Shock is a natural rebel. She is simply shocking when it comes to being told what to do. She dislikes acting in any way like a princess.[4]
Biography
Daughter to the most royal family in Wondrous Waters, Punk Shock never really accepted her role as an undersea princess. She preferred a much more exciting life - hunting with her electric crossbow and listening to super-charged music. After journeying to the outer reaches of her kingdom to find adventure, Punk Shock returned home to discover adventure had found her. The kingdom and its people were magically frozen by the Snow Trolls, who were there to steal valuable treasure. Punk Shock used her awesomely charged crossbow to single handedly defeat the Snow Troll army and melt the ice that trapped her kingdom. Gill Grunt heard of the battle and quickly recruited Punk Shock into the Skylanders.
Gameplay
Punk Shock can fire electrical arrows from her electric crossbow. She can also throw water bombs that can be electrified with her Spark Shots. Being an electric eel, she can also shock her enemies.
