* BrainBleach: When Stealth Elf gets trapped inside Kaos' mind in "Space Invaders", she witnesses some of his memories and fantasies, and since it's Kaos, she finds them to be disgusting.



* CreateYourOwnHero: A heroic example. In "Missing Links", to help the team get better at teamwork, Eon calls King Pen to show them the Creation Crystal, allowing them to create a team member that shall serve as the [[TitleDrop missing link]] for the team.



* EvilOverlooker: One poster has Kaos all the way on the top of it staring intimidatingly at the audience.



* FelonyMisdemeanor:
** Cloudcracker Prison has a rule in that if an inmate is acting more out of line than usual, they are to be sent to a place called The Hole, a completely empty room with nothing to do. And yet, stuff that earns people sent there include interacting with the local rodents and trying to get the guards to eat broccoli. This ends up being used against the prison by the Doom Raiders, as they all do minor annoyances and get sent to The Hole for it, where they can use their powers to create an escape route because The Hole is the only unguarded place at the prison.
** In "The Skylands are Falling", Chef Pepper Jack is stopped from commiting the unspeakable crime of putting hot sauce on a waffle.



* IHaveNoSon:
** At the end of "Assault on Skylanders Academy", Kaos chooses to side with the Doom Raiders over his mother because she hasn't ever thought him how to grow stronger and refuses to explain why. As Kaossandra and Glumshanks flees from the academy and Kaos goes after them, she tells him to never show up at her castle again.
** When Cynder leaves the underworld to become a Skylander at the end of "Return to Cynder", her father Malefor tells her that they are enemies from this moment onwards.
* IceCreamKoan: In "Dream Girls", Jet-Vac tries to give out some wisdom to the younger Skylanders in the form of quotes, but they end up sounding very unimpressive.
-->'''Jet-Vac:''' The road not taken is a mystery, [[CaptainObvious because you didn't take that road]].



** The Doom Raiders ends up like this in season 3, where being the pirate crew of the incompotent Kaos leads them into being so ineffective that they can't even plunder villages properly. They end up letting go of all of their goals about terrorizing Skylands and prioritze getting food for their stomachs.

* ToiletPaperPrank: While the Skylanders are frozen by Kaos' spell, he and Glumshanks goes to [[EvilIsPetty cover the academy's library in toilet paper]].



* TwoTeacherSchool: In season 1, Jet-Vac and Pop Fizz were the only professors at Skylander Academy, with Eon also tuning in at some points. In season 2, however, the trio are shown to have been graduated to professors as well, until season 3 suddenly has them still partaking in lessons, and it's not just Spyro, Stealth Elf and Eruptor, but Pop Fizz as well.

He has a lot of depth to him, and some of his storylines focus more on moving the overarching story along more than what the Skylanders plots do. Being a [[DeconstructedTrope deconstruction]] of tropes like BigBadWannabe and IneffectualSympatheticVillain helps.

But when both of them wanted to start learning about their family to understand their hidden potential, the fact that there is so little information about the subjects just makes them more determined to find out the truth.

* BigBadWannabe: It would be easier to point out the villains who ''aren't'' this.
** Kaos has this as one of his most prominent traits. He sees himself as the Skylanders' biggest enemy, but that's more because he's the one who has made the most attempts to beat them, with varying results in how effective they actually are. This has turned him into the laughing stock to all Skylands, but he grows in power at the end of season 1.
** Malefor is the Evil Dragon King of the Cadaverous Crypts and was the arch-enemy to Spyro's dragon family. This should make him someone fearsome, but he can't accomplish much because he sits around in his lair all day and mostly waits for someone to come to him.

Strykore was responsible for it all, who himself is a much more active villain because he at least works towards his goals]].
