Skylander Name Generator
Punny elemental hero names in the Skylanders style
Generate hero names in the punning style of the Skylanders games, arranged by ten elements: two-word puns like Rocket Socket, Bubble Trouble and Ghost Toast, single coinages like Magmadillo, plus giant-style, villain-style and nickname ideas for your own character.
About Skylander names
Skylanders names are jokes you can shout. Most heroes in the games carry a two-word pun or rhyme that tells you what they do, the way Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy and Pop Fizz do, and a few get a single made-up word such as Eruptor. Every hero also belongs to one of ten elements: Magic, Tech, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Light and Dark.
This list follows that recipe. Most of it is sorted by element, so there are Tech names like Rocket Socket and Gadget Badger, Water names like Bubble Trouble, Undead names like Ghost Toast and Dark names like Shadow Puppet. Around them are oversized names in the giant style (Mammoth Mash), names built on traps and martial arts (Clamp Champ, Kung Fu Gnu), grumbling villain-style names (Baron Von Bother), single coinages (Magmadillo) and short nicknames (Big Chompers). The element groups are our own arrangement for this page, not game data.
Twenty well-known names from the games, among them Spyro, Stealth Elf and Tree Rex, sit in the list as a guide to the style. The rest were written for this page as puns in the same manner. The series has several hundred characters, so a pun here may happen to match one of them.
How to choose Skylander names
- Start with the power, then hunt for the pun. Decide what your hero does first, whether that is digging, freezing or throwing bolts, and try rhymes and common phrases around that word until one clicks, the way Tunnel Vision does for a digger.
- Keep it to two beats. The names that stick are two short words with a punch on each, such as Clam Slam or Bolt Jolt, because they are easy to shout across a room.
- Add an animal and the picture draws itself. Lava Llama, Gadget Badger and Lighthouse Mouse tell you the creature and the element before anyone sees a sketch.
- For a hero you design yourself, pick the element first and the fighting style second, then let the name hint at both. Ninja Ginger and Quick Draw Claw each say how the character fights.
- Test the name with a catchphrase. If a battle cry falls out of it without effort, the name is finished; if nothing comes, try the next one.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real Skylanders names?
Twenty are well-known names from the games, among them Spyro, Gill Grunt, Trigger Happy, Stealth Elf and Eruptor, and they are there to show the style. The rest were written for this page and are not presented as names from the games. With several hundred characters in the series, a pun on this page may coincide with one of them, and this is a fan page with no connection to the publisher.
How are Skylanders-style names put together?
Nearly always as a pun, a rhyme or a twisted phrase about what the hero does. Two-word names such as Pebble Rebel, Hover Rover and Leaf Thief are the most common shape, and single coinages such as Magmadillo or Fizzicist are the rarer one. The joke should be clean and quick enough for a child to get.
What are the ten elements, and which names fit which?
Magic, Tech, Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Light and Dark. About two thirds of the list is written with one of them in mind, so Flame Game is plainly Fire, Moss Boss is Life and Dawn Patrol is Light. The sorting is our own and you are free to move a name to another element if it suits your hero better.
Can I use these for a custom hero or a fan character?
Yes, that is what they are for. A name like Sensei Sashay or Black Belt Belle suits a character you build around a fighting style, while General Nuisance or Queen Mean works for a villain of your own. Change a word freely to match your character's look.
