Background[]
Biography[]
Thumpback was once a crew member of The Phantom Tide, the most fearsome pirate ship in all of Skylands. But the actual pirating part about being a pirate didn't interest Thumpback so much as the benefits that came with traveling on a large ship. After all, his real passion was fishing. But when his chance came to finally ensnare the most elusive creature in the sky - the Leviathan Cloud Crab - he was pulled over board and carried off into the horizon. This was actually quite fortunate, because sometime later The Phantom Tide and its entire crew were banished to the Chest of Exile. Thumpback’s pirating days were over, but his legend as one of the first Skylanders had only just begun.
Abilities[]
Thumpback represents the Water element in a big way. He has a huge anchor-based melee attack and crushing (literally) alternate attacks. Thumpback's regular melee attacks has excellent range, and can hit enemies halfway across the screen. Additionally, Thumpback can slide on his belly, quickly dashing by enemies, but inflicting huge damage on the way. He also has a massively damaging Chomp attack that can crush enemies at close-range.
Thumpback's anchor attack is massively powerfu in both damage and range in the Anchor's A Yay!! path, improving the attack with extra combos and even more damage makes him as effective as possible in combat.
