“An honest-to-goodness Skylander here in Woodburrow! I never thought the day would come.”

– Rufus

Rufus is a regal, puma-like character that appears throughout Skylanders: Swap Force as Woodburrow's village crier.

Personality

Rufus appears very serious, refined and polite, greeting residents new and old with respect (even if he is a little overwhelmed by Tessa's vigor at times). As stated by Tessa, he keeps everything in the village running to a proper standard under the Chieftess' command, and should be addressed if one needs anything. As advised, the Skylanders often look to him for assistance, to which he complies happily.

Trivia

• Most players believe that he resembles a puma or wolf, both of which are carnivorous predators.
• Upon their first meeting, Flynn mistakes Rufus's name for both "Doofus" and "Rudy."
• Following the completion of story mode, he is considered by some fans to be annoying, as he always welcomes the player back to Woodburrow with un-skippable suggestions on what to do next.
• Alternate concept art for Rufus's design depicts him with a tail and a monocle, or alternatively as a horned, scaled dragon-like creature.
