"Bring the Sting!"

—Swarm's official catchphrase

Swarm is a giant wasp who is one of the eight new Giants in Skylanders: Giants.

Background

Biography

Swarm was once a prince from a proud race of mysterious insect warriors that had built their entire civilization inside a giant honeycombed pyramid. Growing up as one of the 9,000 members of the royal family, he was never permitted to leave the hive. But unlike his brethren, there was a magical quality to Swarm that caused him to grow much larger than the rest of his kind. No longer able to fit amongst the rest of his colony, the young prince broke the long standing tradition and stepped out into the open world - where his size and strength would be put to good use in the legendary battle between the Giants and the Arkeyans.

Story

History

Swarm, along with the other Giants, participated in the fight against the Arkeyans for the freedom of Skylands. To truly stop their tyrannical foe, the Giants confronted the Arkeyan King himself and his army of War Machines. Swarm took part in the fight against the machines and their King, soon helping Tree Rex deliver the final blow to the Arkeyan King. Although the Giants were victorious in their battle against the Arkeyans, and ended their reign of terror, the Iron Fist of Arkus used the last of its remaining powers to sweep all eight Giants from Skylands and banished them to Earth, where they would remain for 10,000 years.

Abilities

Swarm has the ability to slash enemies with the stingers on his arms, and fire the stingers like launchers. He can also fly using his wings, and can turn into a swarm of wasps.

Trivia

Swarm speaks in a French accent.
Despite being a wasp, Swarm resembles more like a bombardier beetle due to his color scheme and antennae.
Swarm's elemental symbol is on the top of his back.
There's a glitch on Swarm currently known on the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 versions of Giants. Sometimes the wings will keep flapping even though Swarm is walking. The glitch can be undone if Swarm flies and stops.
He and Wrecking Ball are the only Skylanders that resemble bugs.
Swarm's voice is identical to Dr. Doofenshmirtz of Phineas And Ferb.
- If proven, his voice actor would've been Dan Povenmire.
He can actually do combos if you press Attack 1 multiple times (when on ground), but COMBO! does not pop up.
- He also can fly at one point in this combo.
