“Silent but Deadly!”
    —Stealth Elf's official catchphrase

Stealth Elf is an elven ninja who is one of the playable Skylanders in the Skylanders series, first appearing in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. She also has a Legendary counterpart called Legendary Stealth Elf, who is a Toys R Us exclusive.

Stealth Elf has a Ninja counterpart that is available in the console Starter Pack of Skylanders: Swap Force.

Character Development[]

Stealth Elf represents one of the more tactical Skylander designs. The core abilities are much like Ilwrath Avenger from Star Control 2. Early on, Toys For Bob was still figuring out the Skylanders formula so they see Stealth Elf with a not-very-combat-effective mobility only move in the Arboreal Acrobatics upgrade. While the controls are crisp and responsive, the move only really shines in the Pook Blade Saint upgrade path. The Shadowsbane Blade Dance upgrade turns Stealth Elf's Arboreal Acrobatics into a flying blender. The Forest Ninja upgrade path allows players to leverage positioning all the while dropping aggro from enemies. The Blade Fury combo attack draws influence from Rock Lee's Ura Renge.[2]

Background[]

Personality[]

Stealth Elf, like all elves, adores nature. She is considered to be a guardian protector of the forests and of Skylands. She may be a highly trained ninja, but sometimes Stealth Elf is known to have a sense of a rampaging Cyclops Mammoth.[3] She speaks her mind, whether others want to hear it or not. She can sneak her way into any enemy's territory, but can also be tactless.[4] Like all Life Skylanders, Stealth Elf prefers to keep her feet on the ground. Stealth Elf is also known to use trickery to get out of situations she doesn't feel like doing herself, using her decoys.[5]

Biography[]

As a small child, Stealth Elf awoke one morning inside the hollow of an old tree with no memory of how she got there. She was taken in by an unusually stealthy, ninja-like tree creature in the deep forest. Under his tutelage, she has spent the majority of her life training in the art of stealth fighting. After completing her training, Stealth Elf became a Skylander, putting her skills in good use while also trying to uncover the mystery behind her origins.

Story[]

History[]

Stealth Elf can't remember much about her family or from whence she came. But she is the only Skylander who can skewer and slice through a platoon of ne'er-do-wells before slipping away unseen. Stealth Elf's earliest memory is of waking with a start and screech, following a nightmarish dream of stampeding sheep. But when she awoke there were no woolly warriors in sight - only woodland and a complete memory blank. With a sniffle and a sigh, she picked herself up and set off in search of answers. After several days, she stumbled on a gnarled, stumpy-looking creature with the lightning moves of a ninja master. It turned out the creature was the guardian of the forest and trained in the ancient art of stealth.

Sensing the young elf's skill for sneaking, the guardian immediately made her his apprentice. Sure enough, Stealth Elf was a natural and soon, ran rings around her increasingly ragged sensei. Master Eon was invited for a look, and was knocked out by her nifty ninja skills. She was made a Skylander on the spot and served not only guardian of the forests, but protector of the world.[6]

Skylanders: Spyro versus The Mega Monsters[]

Spyro and Stealth Elf

Stealth Elf and Spyro investigating a large footprint in Stinky Swamp.

After investigating Stinky Swamp, Stealth Elf returned to Eon's Citadel to inform the veteran Portal Master of a terrible monster lurking within the swamp. She was then accompanied by Spyro to search out this monster, saving a Mabu named Snuckles from Chompies along the way. The Mabu explained that he was looking for a friend, Nort, who went missing in the swamp. The two Skylanders were then attacked by an unusually giant titchy toad, whose toxic saliva caused Spyro and Stealth Elf to fall asleep while Snuckles was nearly eaten and torn apart by the titchy toad. The Mabu was saved by the timely arrival of Kaos, who claimed that he was turning over a new leaf by defeating evil doers and also having saved Nort from the toad. Stealth Elf was woken up by Spyro in time to hear Kaos renouncing his evil ways before he departed, leaving Spyro and Stealth Elf in disbelief.

As news of Kaos saving the residents of Skylands from mega-sized creatures were made known, Stealth Elf stayed behind while Jet-Vac, Drill Sergeant, and Spyro were instructed to go to the Desert of Columns to help a Molekin named Diggs escape from a mega-sized monster.  When the Skylanders returned, Stealth Elf accompanied Spyro, Trigger Happy, and Drill Sergeant to help the Warrior Librarians of the Eternal Archives protect the Archives from being taken. During a battle against mega-sized Chompies, Kaos appeared and revealed his true intentions of him claiming to be a hero: he wanted to test his magic staff on a few creatures (growing them into a giant size), trick people into thinking he was saving them just so he could attack the Archive and blackmail its curator, Wiggleworth, into giving the evil Portal Master a forbidden book within the Archives.

During the struggle against Kaos and the giant Chompies, Stealth Elf stole Kaos's staff and used its magic to supersize Spyro to allow him to battle the mega-sized Chompies. However, Kaos stole back his staff and shrunk Stealth Elf down to the size of an ant. As revenge, the tiny elf stabbed one of her daggers into Kaos's ankle like a splinter, causing the evil Portal Master to painfully drop his staff and allowing Drill Sergeant the chance to destroy it, returning Spyro and Stealth Elf back to their normal size. The Skylanders soon defeated the giant Chompies and successfully drove away Kaos from the Eternal Archives.

Skylanders: Giants[]

Stealth Elf, along with Spyro, Gill Grunt, Stump Smash, and Eruptor, are still frozen as toys on Earth and were put in a toy display inside a toy store called Super Toy Planet. They were few of the Skylanders who witnessed Kaos breaking free of his statue-like form due to his power as a Portal Master. When Kaos noticed the frozen Skylanders and taunted them, Stealth Elf, along with the Skylanders, agreed with Stump Smash when the tree creature angrily declared that if he could move, he'd 'dropping the hammer' on Kaos right there and then. Afterwards, the present Skylanders could do nothing but watch as Kaos returned to Skylands with the use of a nearby Portal of Power.

The Kaos Trap[]

Stealth Elf was one of the three Skylanders assigned to deliver supplies to a Mabu mining expedition digging for Radiance Crystals. While travelling there by Flynn's |Dread-Yatcht, the elven ninja was training herself by attacking training dummies on the deck. Wash Buckler insisted that she relax and enjoy the ride to the expedition, only to be intimidated when Stealth Elf asked if he had a problem with her way of relaxing after making short work of the training dummies. Suddenly, the Skylanders noticed that Kaos' army of trolls are attacking the Mabu mining expedition for the Radiance Crystals, and Stealth Elf, along with Pop Fizz and Wash Buckler quickly dispatch to aid the Mabu.

During the battle, the three Skylanders were forced to handle the trolls on their own due to the other Skylanders currently defending parts of Skylands elsewhere. Things soon turned for the worse when Wolfgang arrived, causing the Skylanders, including Stealth Elf, to feel threatened and outmatched as they weren't prepared to tackle both a Troll army and a villain. Before Wolfgang could begin his attack, the Trap Team, Snap Shot]] and Wallop, arrived in time to help their comrades. With their combined efforts, they defeated Wolfgang and drove off the Trolls, saving the Mabu expedition. Both the Skylanders and the Trap Masters are praised by the Mabu leader for their efforts in saving the Mabu, but soon came to notice that the Fork of Infinite Resonance was stolen by the Trolls, causing the Skylanders to ponder on what Kaos was up to.

Rift into Overdrive[]

While searching for Kaos after his escape from the Villain Vault, Stealth Elf was with Head Rush, Fling Kong, Cali and Sharpfin at Kaos's old fortress in the Cloudbreak Islands in search of the evil Portal Master. On their way out, they were ambushed by a group of dark elite Drow Warriors lead by Count Moneybone and weren't prepared for a rift created by Kaos' Sky Eater. The three Skylanders, Sharpfin and Cali were able to escape and returned to the Academy to report what happened. After learning of the Rift Engines that may reconnect the connection between Portals, Stealth Elf, Terrafin, Jet-Vac, and Gill Grunt were assigned by Spyro to head for Know-It-All Island to discover the whereabouts of the Rift Engines.

Once at the island, the Skylanders and Flynn encountered Blobbers, who was sent by his village to learn about the strange rifts that were destroying everything across Skylands. A nearby Stone Head revealed to the group the history behind the Rift Engines and the fact that Kaos had awakened a power hidden long ago. Before the Stone Head could begin to reveal the location of the Rift Engines, Kaos himself opened a rift and it consumed the island as soon as the Stone Head told a riddle to the Skylanders regarding the location of the Rift Engines. The Skylanders and their friends were soon rescued by non-Skylanders, Spitfire and Stormblade, who transported them all to safety with their vehicles.

After getting acquainted with Spitfire, Stormblade, and other non-Skylanders, Fiesta and [Dive-Clops, Stealth Elf and the other Skylanders allowed the SuperChargers to help the Skylanders on their journey as there was no other available transportation. While treking through Skylands, the Skylanders and SuperChargers figured out the Stone Head's riddle and came to the Whirlpool of Destiny where the Rift Engines were hidden in an underwater city. While Dive-Clops and Gill Grunt used the Dive Bomber to begin their search underwater, Jet-Vac and the other land Skylanders held back a group of Kaos' minions to buy their friends some time.

As they were about to become overwhelmed, Gill Grunt and Dive-Clops succeeded in hauling the Rift Engines from the underwater depths. Stealth Elf, Jet-Vac and Terrafin were shocked at seeing Gill Grunt's SuperCharged form, who quickly instructed his three companions to unlock the chest and hope the Rift Engines inside chooses them. As they touched the Rift Engines, Stealth Elf, Terrafin, and Jet-Vac were granted the powers of SuperChargers which transformed them, and they used their newfound abilities to drive off Kaos' minions. With the Rift Engines at their disposal, the Skylanders, and the newly-formed Skylander SuperChargers, began their adventure in stopping Kaos and his latest plan.

Skylanders: Imaginators[]

ElfSpyroGill Imaginators

Stealth Elf and Spyro competed with each other in a friendly race around the Skylanders Academy, ending with Stealth Elf being the victor with the help of her decoy. Suddenly, a streak of magic shot into the academy library and out emerged a Doomlander stealing a book regarding Imaginite. While attempting to engage the creature, it proved to be too strong, but it was driven away by the arrival of the Senseis, who Stealth Elf recognized as "masters".

Stealth Elf met up with Spyro again after the dragon investigated Cradle of Creation with the Skylander. The clues left behind at Skylander Academy lead the Skylanders to Mushroom River and Scholarville, the latter where Stealth Elf accompanied the player Skylander through the village raid. When Brain used his Mind Magic with Kaos, Stealth Elf was among the Skylanders who were affected by the brainwashing spell. She was later freed when the Dragons used their magic to undo most of the brainwashing around Skylands, and Stealth Elf was able to accompany the other Skylanders in launching an attack at Kaos' Lair.

In the Enchanted Elven Forest, Stealth Elf and the Skylander discover that mutant plants have overrun the great forest as a result of Grandmaster Cami Flage's experimental fertilizer. Stealth Elf also noticed that her old master had gone completely insane, and throughout the adventure, she made several attempts to calm Cami Flage down while the elven elder was setting forest fires to try and stop the mutants.

Relationships[]

Spyro[]

Spyro is a fellow Skylander and ally to Stealth Elf, being in good terms with one another on most occasions. However, as shown in Skylanders: Imaginators, she can be a little irritated or baffled by his jokes at times, and is not afraid to pull Spyro's leg from time to time.

Drill Sergeant[]

Although Stealth Elf considers Drill Sergeant as an ally, she gets irritated by the Arkeyan bulldozer calling her 'sir' due to Drill Sergeant's original programming to obey orders.

Abilities[]

Stealth Elf is extremely agile, able to skewer and slash swiftly at her enemies with her daggers and swords, and take down her foes by surprise. She can literally disappear, and at exactly the same time, create a decoy version of herself. As she does so, Stealth Elf uses invisible stealth to attack the enemies when they are attacking her decoy.

Her Forest Ninja path can also create replica scarecrows of herself wielding scythes to attack other advancing enemies. Her Pook Blade Saint path Elf Jitsu can release Poison Spores as a combo, she can also release a Blade Flurry as another combo.
