Viper Helios Lair

'

*Viper Helios Lair'*is a creepy cavernous lair of the evil ram Viper Helios and his Doom Raiders in Canterlot City and it is a location in *Clash of the Skylanders with Ponies: Altered Beast*. Given its resemblance to the actual Viper Helios, it is possible, though unconfirmed, that it may have been his lair prior to being occupied by his impostor which was later revealed to be the draconequus Cosmos.

## History

Built or created in the image of Viper Helios, the lair was located in an unknown swamp somewhere in Canterlot City.

After learning that Mega Flavius would be made ruler of all Canterlot City in the stead of the retiring Mane Six, Cosmos took it upon himself to boost her confidence. Adopting the persona of Viper Helios, he brought Sleep Dragon back from the dead and summoned him, Sharktopus, Vegetables Monster, Evil Toadman, Dream Sheep, Grand Master Greevil, Chameleon Sr., and Dark Enerjak to the lair. "Viper Helios" informed the Changelings of his intention to form them into an alliance capable of defeating both Mega Flavius and her fellow members of the Skylanders, who had bested all of them previously. Of the eight Changelings, Sleep Dragon refused to cooperate, and "Viper Helios" transported him to the Crystal Empire to pursue his own plans of conquest.

Once Sleep Dragon was defeated by the Skylanders, "Viper Helios" used his crystal ball to show his happy place to the other seven, intending it to reinforce the need for their alliance. Despite this, the three villains bickered with each other constantly, complaining to "Viper Helios" about each other and their lack of action as a group. Fed up with their complaints, "Viper Helios" dispatched them to retrieve the Eare of Stones from Mount Everhoof, which would require the trio to work together. The three later returned to report failure in retrieving the bell, though they had learned to cooperate. Unbeknownst to "Mount Everhoof", however, the seven had recovered the stones and brought it back, intending to betray him and conquer Canterlot City themselves.

"Viper Helios" later left the lair in order to research a new source of power for the Legion's plan, unaware that his "allies" intended to unlock the Eare of Stone's power for themselves. After retrieving a book about magical stones from the Canterlot Archives, the trio returned to find "Viper Helios" successful in locating a new artifact for their use and departing yet again in order to recover it. While he was gone, the seven learned the uses of the Stone's magic, and were able to channel the magic of the true Viper Helios contained within it into themselves. With enhanced forms, they then ambushed "Viper Helios" when he returned with a mysterious amulet which they destroyed.

Using the Eare of Stones, the trio then drained "Viper Helios" of his power, and he reverted to his true form of Cosmos and fled. He remained nearby long enough to overhear the trio planning an attack on Twilight Kingdom, and ran to inform Mega Flavius and Team Spyro of the results of his ill-laid plans. After a failed attempt by Dark Enerjak to harness Cosmo's chaos magic, the Legion departed the lair as well, each setting out to attack a different target before converging in Twilight Kingdom.

## Trivia

* Viper Helios and Doom Raider's lair also serves as a hiding refuge place for Changelings to stay and hide from the Skylanders for an amount of time of planning before going out again like Nemesis Prime.
