Brand new Light and Dark elements make their way to Skylanders Trap Team

For the first time in Skylanders history, the latest game, Trap Team, will introduce two brand new elements to the Skylanders universe, and with it, four new Skylanders tied to those elements. Those who have played through the game, already know that there are still areas that were inaccessible due to an element lockout. Now, with the addition of Light and Dark elements, players will finally be able to explore those areas, and capture brand new villains.

The four new Skylanders are Knight Mare and Blackout who belong to the Dark Element, and Light Knight and Spotlight who belong to the Light Element. Both Knight Mare and Light Knight wield traptanium weapons that will aid players in capturing villains.

And without further ado, let's check the new Skylanders out:

Knight Mare

Before the destruction of the Core of Light left her stranded in the Dark Realm, Knight Mare was one of the Dark Centaurs who guarded The Oracle of Stones – an enchanted game of Dark Skystones that could predict the future. When it was stolen by an unknown force, Knight Mare was called upon to retrieve it.  She knew it would be dangerous because if the Oracle was asked the wrong questions seven times, it would unleash a terrible curse upon all of Skylands. Fortunately, she found it in a cave – with a gang of Bicyclopes about to ask their seventh wrong question.  With no time to lose, she charged forward, beating the fierce Bicyclopes and saving Skylands from the terrible curse.  Now having joined the Trap Team, Knight Mare uses her hunting skills and Traptanium Lance to bring down evil everywhere!

Blackout

Blackout hails from the Realm of Dreams, where the collective imagination of all the creatures in the universe come together to create beautiful wonders… and terrible nightmares.  At a young age, he was recruited into the Dark Stygian – a Dragon Clan whose chief responsibility was to create nightmares for evil creatures as a way to discourage them from doing more villainy.  But the clan began to abuse their power, and soon spread nightmares far and wide for its own amusement.  But Blackout would not stand for it. So he learned to teleport directly into the nightmares the clan created and fought the creatures within.  Eventually, the nightmares reached as far as Master Eon, who witnessed Blackout’s courage within his own dreams.  After helping him put a stop to the Dark Stygian, Eon then made Blackout a Skylander, serving as the protector of the Realm of Dreams and beyond!

Light Knight

Before the destruction of the Core of Light left him stranded in the Light Realm, Knight Light was the protector of the Starlight – the source of light, wisdom and vast energy in Radiant City.  But an evil villain of known as Luminous wanted the Starlight for himself. Without warning, Luminous attacked, and the two took to the skies in an epic battle which lasted several days.  In the end, Knight Light stood victorious and Luminous was imprisoned within Sunscraper Spire so that he could no longer pose a threat to Skylands. Now with his Traptanium blade, Knight Light fights alongside the Trap Team to keep evil at bay!

Spotlight

Spotlight was discovered by Master Eon in the Prismatic Palace, where the Portal Master had ventured seeking the Crystal Orb of Light.  Upon finding the Orb, Eon reached out and gently touched it – causing a brilliant light to emanate in all directions.  Having been infused with Eon’s magic, the Orb glowed magnificently.  And when Eon slowly lowered his hand from his shielded eyes, Spotlight stood before him in a respectful bow.  Her power of Light was unknown to him, for it was not of the eight common Elements in Skylands.  But sensing that the Ancients sent Spotlight to him for a reason, he took her to the Core of Light and trained her to defend it as a member of the Skylanders.  And when none other than evil Portal Master Kaos destroyed it – Spotlight vanished!
