Thrillipede served in the Millipede Military in the outer regions of Skylands. As the top pilot in his unit, Thrillipede was responsible for single-handedly blasting over 300 Greeble warships out of the sky! When the Great Greeble War came to an end, he returned to his hometown of Flutter Bay as a celebrated hero. He was the talk of the town and everyone wanted to shake the many hands of the famous young pilot. News of his heroics eventually made its way to Captain Flynn at the Skylander Academy, who set out to determine if the stories were true. In a series of friendly challenges, the two pilots raced, soared through obstacles, and performed incredible stunts in front of a cheering Flutter Bay crowd. In each event, Thrillipede stood victorious, and was asked to join the Skylanders shortly after. Of course, Flynn later admitted that he “let him win” so that Thrillipede wouldn’t be embarrassed in front of his hometown.

Overview

Inflicting damage with Thrillipede is about quantity of hits, not quality of hits. His two basic attacks come out quickly and can both be done on the move. He also has an effective defense ability in Cocooned. The Insistent Insect Path improves Thrillipede’s damage against tougher individual enemies. The Mighty-morphosis Path gives Cocooned some offensive punch and increases Thrillipede’s effectiveness against enemies fought in large numbers. Beautiflies appear only after a charged Bug Bomb has been planted and explodes. Each butterfly restores 10% of max health.
