Skylanders Chinese Zodiac by Blackrhinoranger on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

There is still a bit of Chinese New year until Valentine's Day. I decided to make some of the Skylanders have a Chinese animal sign.

Rat - Pop Fizz (Well, he's not a rat but his has claws and fur like a rat. It's just that there are no rats in Skylanders)

Ox - Tree Rex (He's as big as Babe the Ox from the Paul Bunyan legend and he has branches that look like horns on his head)

Tiger - Trap Shadow (He's got blue stripes)

Rabbit - Trigger Happy (Originally Pop Fizz but I used the rat for him, Trigger Happy is the only other Skylander I know who looks like a rabbit)

Dragon - Fire Kraken (Well, it's Chinese new year tradition to use a Chinese Dragon instead of a European or other kind of dragon)

Snake - Rattle Shake (You know this one)

Horse - Whirlwind (She is part unicorn which looks like a horse and he powers are slightly similar to Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony Friendship is Magic who is a pegasus which is a flying horse)

Goat - Zap (He's got horns like a goat)

Monkey - Grilla Drilla (Monkeys and Apes are closely related)

Rooster - Sunburn (A phoenix is a red bird like a rooster)

Dog (My Sign) - Hot Dog (You know this one)

Boar - Zoo Lou (Well, not a boar himself but he can summon a spirit of a boar. Since Zoo Lou is a bear, this reminds me of a joke on Disney Channel in 2001 during the Chinese new year marathon featuring a Mickey Mouse movie, the Jungle Book and Robin Hood. When they were showing some of the Disney animals as the Chinese animal signs like Mickey Mouse, Shere Kahn, Kaa, King Louie and Pluto, they showed Baloo when the announcer said "Boar" and then he said "Hey, Boar not Bear" and Baloo said "Oh Boy!")

If you have any questions about why I have chosen these Skylanders for the Chinese New Year Animal Signs, I'll answer them.
