“Slash and Burn!”
    —Ignitor's official catchphrase

Ignitor (イグナイター in Japanese) is a fire knight spirit who is one of the playable Skylanders in the Skylanders series, first appearing in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He has a Legendary counterpart called Legendary Ignitor, who is exclusive at Toys R Us in a Legendary pack, with Legendary Slam Bam and Legendary Jet-Vac.

Background

Personality

Despite the setback of being bound to his cursed suit of armor for eternity, Ignitor remains a spirited knight who is always fired up to protect his world from evil. He also developed a hatred for witches due to one having cursed him in the first place.

Biography

On his first quest as a knight, Ignitor was tricked by a cunning witch into wearing a magical suit of armor that he was told would resist fire from a dragon. As it turned out, it was made of cursed steel. He journeyed to a dragon's lair where a single blast of fire transformed him into a blazing spirit, binding him to the suit of armor for eternity. Despite this setback, Ignitor remains a spirited knight who is always fired up to protect the lands from evil and find the witch that tricked him.

Story

History

When first he encountered the red dragon, Ignatius was a young knight with squeaky armour and a rusty sword. On his way to slay the beast, he met a witch who presented him with a special (and handy) gift - a magical suit of armour offering protection from dragon breath. But a nasty surprise was waiting for Ignatius at the dragon's lair. The monster rained its fiery breath over the knight's poor head, settling him on fire. Ignatius had been tricked! His new suit was made from a cursed steel that bound itself to him, trapping him inside where he would forever remain a fire spirit. But all was not lost. He defeated the dragon and became a Skylander. Now named Ignitor, he has since embraced his fiery talents and keeps a vengeful lookout for witches everywhere.[1]

Abilities

Ignitor has the ability to leave his suit of armor to singe nearby enemies with his flaming spirit form. He also wields a flaming sword to slice his enemies.

Trivia

  • Ignitor was called Ignatius before he was cursed. [1]
  • It is unknown what species Ignitor was before he was turned into a fire spirit, but judging by his stocky frame and strength, it's possible that he could've been a dwarf.
  • Ignitor was once only available with the Starter Pack of the 3DS version of the Spyro's Adventure, but is now available in a single pack and a triple Pack.
  • His fire spirit slightly resembles the Ben 10 character Heatblast.
    • He is also similar to NRG, a character from the series Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, as they are both fire based beings trapped inside armor.
  • Ignitor is the only Starter Pack Skylander who doesn't have an additional counterpart in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
  • His Series 2 toy depicts him with his Fire-Forged Armor and his sword has the scorching blade upgrade.
  • His Fire Forged Armor changes appearance from Spyro's Adventure to Giants.
  • In Giants, Ignitor is voiced by Dwight Schultz, who also did additional voices in Spyro's Adventure. He is known for voicing Mung Daal in Chowder and Eddie the Squirrel in CatDog.
  • If he uses his flame form with his Wow Pow, it is blue.
  • In Spyro's Adventure, Ignitor is the only Fire Skylander who does not have an evil counterpart in boss battles.
