“ Surrender, Merlin! „ ~ Skrael confronting Merlin.

“ Annoying mortal! „ ~ Skrael before torturing Steve for the first time.

“ Nari. Naaarrriii! We have tracked you down, and we are bringing you back. „ ~ Skrael upon reaching the subway that Douxie and Archie are in.

**Skrael** is a major antagonist in the *Tales of Arcadia* franchise.

He serves as one of the unseen overarching antagonists of the first installment *Trollhunters* and the second installment *3Below*, one of the two main antagonists of the third installment *Wizards* (alongside Bellroc) and the secondary antagonist of the fourth and final installment *Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans*. He is also mentioned in the video game *Trollhunters: Defenders of Arcadia*.

He is the sadistic second-in-command of the Arcane Order, the creators of the universe, who plots alongside them to unlock the Genesis Seals to unleash the Titanes upon the Earth, and connect them to the last living Heartstone in Arcadia so he and the Order can wipe reality from existence and remake the Earth. He and Bellroc are the archenemies of Hisirdoux "Douxie" Casperan and Nari, and were the masters of King Arthur and Morgana before the latter's redemption.

He was voiced by Piotr Michael, who also voiced Bellroc's male voice, the Fearless Leader in the 2018 reboot of *The Rocky & Bullwinkle Show* and Major Threat in *Wander Over Yonder*.

## Physical Appearance

Skrael has light blue skin and eyes with a black sclera, similar to that of an Akiridion. He also has a black line running on his chin and wears a horned animal's skull, black bracelets on his wrists and ankles, and a black cloak. He also has no hair and is shorter than Bellroc, and wields a staff that aligns with his element of ice.

## Personality

Skrael is an unforgiving and delusional individual who, millennia ago, came to believe that mankind was beyond correction, and therefore sees them as corrupt. Like the other members of the Arcane Order, Skrael was heavily dedicated to do anything to bring back the balance between magic and mortal, but he and Bellroc had a twisted version of the balance where magickind would become dominant over humankind.

When Nari came to see that the Arcane Order were causing destruction instead of returning the balance, Skrael never came to see the error in his actions, even when she tried to convince the Arcane Order that what they were doing was wrong, proving him to be a hypocrite because he was just as corrupt as he saw mankind, if not moreso.

He is also manipulative and petty as he used Morgana's compassion on magical being to turn her into the Eldritch Queen alongside the other members of the Arcane Order, and when Morgana failed the Order, Skrael decided to switch his goals from bringing back the balance to breaking the Genesis Seals to unleash the Titans upon the world, which, if just one of them connected with the Heartstone beneath Arcadia, would've restarted the world anew and reduced the universe to nothingness, as Aradia is the center of the universe.

In his heart, Skrael is also uncaring and selfish, as he cares about no one other than himself. In addition to this selfishness is his needlessly extreme sadism; he is the most sadistic member of the Arcane Order, even more so than his leader Bellroc, who is only sadistic in actions that benefits her goals. This is shown when he takes his time to torture Steve like a psychopathic man-child with nothing to gain and nothing to lose, and even though Bellroc tells him to stop and he apologizes, he shows that he isn't truly sorry by continuing to do so anyway.

This means that, despite serving Bellroc, he has no true loyalty to her and is only conerned about his own well-being. Skrael was also seen sadistically smiling when he revealed the identity of the Green Knight to Morgana and when Bellroc was burning down a town. He also even said to Merlin that he was hoping for more "cat and mouse", again showing his sadistic nature, and this quote also implies that Skrael didn't care about the balance from the beginning and is merely joining Bellroc to torture mortals.

Despite being needlessly sadistic, Skrael is also shown to be dangerously pragmatic, as he points out to Bellroc that the Arcane Order can't intervene at the Battle of Killahead Bridge or bad consequences would follow for them, and that burning down GDT Arcane Books, Merlin's library in Arcadia, is pointless. He is also shown to be suspicious about Morgana after he and Bellroc release her from the Shadow Realm so she can become part of the Arcane Order once again, as when she is looking at a painting of her with Merlin and Douxie, he notes that she was naïve.

He also asks her suspiciously about other places of Merlin's power other than GDT Arcane Books, and as it turns out, Morgana wasn't truly loyal to the Arcane Order anymore when she came back.

## Canon

### Background

“ Nari: Since the beginning, the Order has sought to protect the balance of magic and mortal, no matter the cost, but our actions only brought pain.

Merlin: I've spent a millennium keeping their horrors at bay, but it wasn't enough. „ ~ Nari and Merlin about the beginning of the Arcane Order.

Skrael was a demigod who, alongside Bellroc and Nari, who have created the universe with the Titans' assistance and have watched over it from the beginning, forming the Arcane Order. The three of them sought to protect the balance between mankind and magic, but they saw mankind destroy the balance. Thus, they devoted themselves to protecting said balance. However, through their actions (such as terrorizing the kingdom of Camelot), instead of protecting the balance, they only brought pain, destruction, and misery, which they didn't acknowledge. Because of this, the ancient wizard Merlin kept them at bay for a millennium, but it was not enough to stop them.

It's also revealed that because Morgana failed them, Bellroc changed her ambitions to finding the Genesis Seals so that the Titans can rise from their slumber, and then connect to the last living Heartstone beneath Arcadia; afterwards, raw, uncontrollable magic would rise upon the Earth and wipe it out all of existence like a flood, as well as destroy the whole universe and everything in it, and the Arcane Order would the Earth in their own image as the only thing left from the universe.

To do so, they needed to unlock the Seals alongside Nari, hence why Nari renounced from the Arcane Order. Skrael and Bellroc also brought King Arthur back from death and turned him into the Green Knight as another pawn. Upon resurrection, he became convinced that he had too many sins to count and that the Arcane Order's plan to wipe out mankind and remake the world to "redeem" it was his only chance of redemption.

### *Trollhunters*

Although Skrael never appears in the series, his corruption of Morgana has indirectly caused her to desire to bring about the Eternal Night so she can rule the world and free trollkind at last, and Gunmar freed Morgana so she could cause the Eternal Night. She even reveals that she was using Gunmar as a pawn to get what she wants, though she was also using Angor Rot as a pawn, just like how Skrael and Bellroc was using her as a pawn for their plans.

### *3Below*

Skrael's corruption of Morgana and her bringing of the Eternal Night upon the world have also indirectly helped General Morando retrieve Gaylen's Core for himself, as Colonel Kubritz showed him a video of the Eternal Night, and when Aja, Krel, Varvatos, Toby, and AAARRRGGHH!!! fled through a portal to Trollmarket using a Horngazel, Morando deduced that he and his OMENs can enter Trollmarket from above, eventually merging himself with Gaylen's Core so he can remake the universe like he plotted. However, he was killed by Aja and Krel after King Fialkov and Queen Coranda sacrifice their lives by placing their own life cores inside of Seklos's Cannon.

### *Wizards*

Skrael makes his first appearance when the Arcane Order attacks the flying kingdom of Camelot in their search for Nari and the Genesis Seals. After Merlin discovers that the Arcane Order found him and his allies, Skrael fires his magic at Merlin's, causing the latter to lose the Staff of Avalon, so Archie catches it for him even though Bellroc tries to blast his or her magic at him. Then, the Arcane Order's flying castle shoots cannon balls at Merlin and his allies, so Merlin has his men shoot their cannon balls at the Arcane Order.

When the Arcane Order become unbeatable, Hisirdoux "Douxie" Casperan tries to steer Camelot away from the Arcane Order's ship, but it instead collides with it, allowing Skrael to shoot ice spikes at Camelot so the Arcane Order can board them while Merlin tries to use his sword to break them. Skrael tells Merlin to surrender, who refuses, and Sir Galahad sacrifices himself to break Camelot free of the Arcane Order. Nari then thrusts her magic at the Heart of Avalon, causing it to open a time rift to Camelot during the 12th century, but the Green Knight appears, and he, Bellroc, and Skrael combine their magic to tilt Camelot, causing Douxie, Jim Lake Jr., Claire Nuñez, and Steve Palchuk to fall into the time rift even though Archie tries to reach them while carrying the Staff of Avalon. Next, Bellroc, Skrael, and the Green Knight fire their magic at the Heart of Avalon, damaging it and causing the time rift to close. Archie gives the Staff to Merlin, who fires it at the Arcane Order's ship, causing them to flee, for now.

During the 12th century, it is revealed that after Morgana's hand was cut off by King Arthur during a battle just outside of Camelot and she fell to her death, Angor Rot took her dead body to shore. Upon seeing Morgana's dead body, Bellroc is disgusted by it, while Skrael watches as Nari uses her magic to resurrect Morgana and create a green prosthetic to replace her left hand. When Morgana asks her why she did so, Bellroc tells her that it's because she will be the Arcane Order's champion.

After Morgana talks with Nari, Skrael is surprised that Morgana survived the rebirth of her soul. Nari tells him that she knew Morgana could survive it, and the three members of the Arcane Order introduce themselves. Bellroc and Skrael reveal to Morgana that they are magical beings who watched over magics since the stars were young, but saw that mankind destroyed the balance like how they tried to destroy her. They also tell her that they brought her back because she could make things right that mankind made wrong, and because she fights for magical beings even though she's human. After that, they dub Morgana "the Eldritch Queen, Mother of Monsters" and create golden armor on her, and tell her that she will be the instrument of their reckoning, which she accepts. Thus, Morgana joins the Arcane Order and follows Bellroc, Skrael, and Nari.

Later on, after watching Camelot's defenses get destroyed thanks to a Changeling who Morgana sent to kill King Arthur, Skrael comments that her plans proved to be fruitful, but Bellroc was angered that Merlin and King Arthur are still alive. However, Morgana tells her to be patient because it is only the beginning of their plan, before she leaves. Eventually, Skrael watches the Battle of Killahead Bridge together with Bellroc and Nari, with Skrael saying that the battle has begun and Bellroc saying that the reign of humankind will end.

During the Battle of Killahead Bridge, King Arthur is granted a blessing by Nimue, the Lady of the Lake, in which he uses Excalibur to strike golden magic against Gunmar, something Bellroc finds unacceptable. However, Skrael tells her that they shouldn't intervene because there will be consequences, but Bellroc makes the decision that they've waited long enough, so she, Skrael, and Nari enter the Battle of Killahead Bridge, with Jim and Claire terrified of their arrival. Sir Galahad tells his knights to attack the three of them after saying that they may have come to the end of days, so Skrael creating a blizzard to attack several other knights at once, with Nari physically striking many more knights and Bellroc blasts multiple of his knights into the air using a fire blast. Skrael's attempt to wipe out humanity has failed after Deya slashes through Bellroc's eyes and exiles Gunmar and his Gumm-Gumms army (except Bular) to the Darklands, along with Dictatious Maximus Galadrigal.

Following the battle, Skrael looks at the sea alongside Bellroc and Nari. Skrael says that they miscalculated and that the balance is lost. However, Nari, seeing the errors of their ways, tries to convince them that the Arcane Order were in the wrong, telling them that she felt so much pain and bloodshed, and that it wasn't worth it. However, Skrael refuses to listen and instead, she is told by Bellroc that they will readjust and return in time.

Back in the 21st century after Douxie, Jim, Claire, and Steve return to the present and escape from Camelot, which has now crashed into the school of Arcadia Oaks-High and destroyed it, Skrael arrives alongside Bellroc with the Arcane Order's flying fortress and tells Nari that she misunderstands them while Bellroc tells her to turn back to the Arcane Order and finish her purpose. However, the Guardians of Arcadia refuse to surrender her, so they unleash the Green Knight to attack them. The Green Knight manages to capture Jim after the shard that punctured him previously because of the Green Knight turns him from a half-troll to being a complete troll, and Bellroc orders him to take Jim with them back to their fortress.

In the Arcane Order's fortress, the Green Knight takes the Amulet of Daylight from Jim, and places it in the middle of a circle which Skrael uses in a ritual ceremony to summon Morgana from the Shadow Realm alongside Bellroc, thus destroying the Amulet in the process. Once Morgana is released from the Shadow Realm, she tells them that her torment has ended and that it was quiet and peaceful in the Shadow Realm, but Bellroc and Skrael berate her because she never finished her purpose to fix the balance, and reveal their new plan to remake the Earth. Morgana asks them to send her back to the Shadow Realm and questions why they released her, but Skrael reveals that it was the Green Knight who convinced them to release her. When he takes off his helmet, Morgana is horrified to learn that he was King Arthur back from the dead.

After Douxie, Merlin, Steve, and Archie, who is disguised as Nari, enter the Arcane Order's fortress, Skreal asks Merlin if he's surrendering already and was hoping for a game of cat and mouse, and Bellroc tells him that he will be given a quick and painful death for surrendering before the Green Knight jumps down. Merlin and Douxie tell the Arcane Order that they want to make a truce with them: Jim being given to Douxie and Merlin, and "Nari" being given to them. However, Bellroc questions them while Skrael points out that they are giving up their only advantage. However, Skrael becomes suspicious when "Nari" sneezes even though Douxie tries to convince him and Bellroc that nothing's wrong, but "Nari" coughs up a hairball, and is revealed to be Archie in disguise.

Bellroc and Skrael are furious about it, with Skrael demanding to know where the real Nari is, and Bellroc attempting to kill the three of them on the spot even though Merlin blocks her magic and tries to escape with Douxie and Archie. When Skrael sees Steve, he turns the ground beneath him into ice, causing Steve to slip and fall. While Bellroc tells Douxie and Archie that the Arcane Order can't be stopped and that they've waited for a millennium to destroy everything and not just the Earth, she notices Skrael using his magic to torture Steve on the ice, which interrupts her speech, so she tells Skrael that she finds it annoying. While Skrael apologizes to her, he continues to torture Steve anyway as Bellroc finishes her sentence before the Green Knight attacks Douxie and reveals himself to be King Arthur to both him and Merlin. Skrael then freezes Claire and Steve in ice before Bellroc says that she and Skrael propose new terms, with Skrael threatening Merlin that if he doesn't give up Nari, then Douxie will he killed. However, Merlin manages to use his magic to chain Skrael and Bellroc and tries to do so to King Arthur, but the latter pins Merlin against the window of the Arcane Order's fortress and fatally stabs him with his sword before thrusting him out of the window. Although Douxie saves Merlin from fall damage, the latter dies anyway because of the fatal blow that Arthur delivered to him.

Eventually, the Arcane Order trespasses Merlin's library. While Skrael says that it reeks of Merlin, Bellroc demands that Nari shows herself. Skrael then asks Morgana why she didn't light it up on fire, and she tells him that Merlin's magic was too powerful. With that, Bellroc demands that the Arcane Order burn down the library so that the Genesis Seals can be found and that the Guardians of Arcadia can't hide anywhere. When Morgana reflects on her past, Skrael tells her that she was naive, and she goes to Arthur to try to turn him back, only for him to refuse. After Morgana picks up a book, Skrael becomes disappointed that Merlin's library was the last of his places of power, and asks her if she knows of any others. However, Morgana claims she doesn't because Merlin hid many secrets from her and lies to him that she'll search for them in the Shadow Realm, when she really went there to search for King Arthur's soul. When Bellroc lights up part of the library on fire, Skrael reminds her that it is pointless, but Bellroc tells him that it calms her down and helps her think.

After Morgana fails to save King Arthur's soul because she realizes that he's following the Arcane Order out of his own accord and he's not brainwashed, the Arcane Order manages to follow her to Hex Tech, where Skrael, Bellroc, and King Arthur confront Blinky, Steve, Claire, Morgana, Krel Tarron, Toby, and AAARRRGGHH!!!, who refuse to give up Nari, so the three manage to capture all of them, minus Krel who Skrael trapped in ice. Bellroc and Skrael later confront the six they captured. When Steve asks them what they're doing to Nari, Skrael tells him that they're making sure that she won't leave them again and that he isn't patient for long while preparing to torture Steve a second time. He then taunts him that the Guardians of Arcadia have lost because Merlin was killed by Arthur and he and the Arcane Order brainwashed the Trollhunter, while Bellroc demands Claire to answer where Douxie is or she'll be turned to ash, and Skrael attempts to begin his torture on Steve. However, Douxie makes an astral projection of himself, much to his annoyance and attempts to start torturing Steve, to which Douxie tells them to stop and informs them that they can get the Genesis Seals from him at the cafe. After that, the two of them leave to get the Seals, but not before Bellroc tells Arthur to secure Nari and Skrael tells Jim to kill the Guardians of Arcadia if they give him any trouble.

When Bellroc and Skrael arrive at the cafe, Douxie presents them with the Lad of Fortune where if they find the Genesis Seals, then they win the Earth, and tells them to keep their eyes on the prize as the Seals are hidden beneath one of the bowls as he shifts them around. After that, he tells them to choose which bowl the Seals are hidden in. Bellroc chooses the middle bowl. When Douxie asks her if she is absolutely positive, she impatiently tells him that she and Skrael have made their choice. When Bellroc opens the bowl, however, it traps them inside a miniature Heart of Avalon which Douxie created from the original, which he calls, "Hisirdoux's Eternal Time Trap". Bellroc questions if he meddles with the forces of time, while Skrael tells him that he doesn't have the type of power to control it. However, Douxie uses his magical staff, which he turned into an electric guitar, to create a time loop between Bellroc and Skrael, and tricks them into entering it by tossing the Genesis Seals in there, causing the two of them to be trapped in it. However, it eventually weakens, causing them to be free. When Skrael asks Bellroc where Douxie is, she concludes that he is going after Nari, so she burns the building in a fit of rage and they go back to the Arcane Order's fortress.

As Douxie tries to get Nari to escape, Bellroc and Skrael find them both, so Douxie tells Nari and Archie to flee while he faces off Skrael and Bellroc and tricks them with an Infinite Corridor. Skrael tells him that it won't hold him nor Bellroc, and the latter threatens to kill Douxie. As Douxie tries to fight off Skrael and Bellroc, he gets exhausted and Bellroc tells him that he has lost because they now have the Genesis Seals, but he doesn't give up, so while Bellroc and Skrael combine their magic and blast it at him, he blasts his magic at them. After a long tension, Douxie finally wins, and both members of the Arcane Order are blasted out of the Arcane Order's fortress as it is destroyed, and while he dies and comes into the afterlife with Merlin and a redeemed Morgana, he returns to the Earth, and is now revived. Despite this, however, Bellroc and Skrael are still alive and still at large, and they still have the Genesis Seals and are still searching for Nari, so Douxie and Archie take Nari far away from the town of Arcadia-Oaks to Metro City, and blend in as he gives money to a beggar who keeps telling everyone that the world is going to end and they are all going to die, and says to him that it won't happen on his watch. However, unbeknownst to them, Bellroc kills a seagull and finds them blending in and now, Skrael and Bellroc are going after them.

### *Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans*

Skrael appeared in the film *Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans* as its secondary antagonist, being given much more deviation from Bellroc. He is first seen chilling the subway cart containing Douxie and Nari, and then Bellroc sets the front portion of that cart on fire, so they try to flee, but Skrael already frozen the other subway cart to which Douxie and Nari slip and fall before appearing and playfully calling Nari before announcing that he and Bellroc are bringing them back, but Douzie gets up and launches the support handles and seats at Skrael, who then freezes it with ice and breaking it. Claire then makes a portal for Jim to enter to which he fights Bellroc, while an angered Skrael launches ice spikes at Douxie and Nari but they were saved by Claire by creating another shadow portal to dispose of them. he then launches another set of Shadow Spikes but thanks to Claire's shadow portal and Douxie's magical shield, it failed its task and Nari launches a vine from her flower pot at Skrael who then uses his staff's blades to cut it. He then continues to fight Douxie but Claire then opens a shadow portal for Bellroc's fire ring attack to hit him instead, to which angered, he then launches his ice powers at Douxie who then defends himself using his shield. As the subway train enters the elevated platform, Stuart, Steve and Krel manage to launch an anti-magic ray that stopped all magic from functioning, leaving Skrael powerless and Douxie knocks him to the ground on his face using his staff. However, Stuart had to stop his taco truck which had the anti-magic genrator due to being obstructed by a construction area, he then gets empowered again.

As the train is approaching very fast to the point they are going to be delayed, Skrael launches his ice powers at Nari and then uses his staff to fight Douxie then taps it on the ground to use his powers to push Douxie back. The Train is then derails but Douxie creates tracks to prevent chaos but it wasn't enough so the train then runs over a gun robot statue and then crashes near the entrance of a store. But the fight didn't end as Bellroc angrily blasts through the train while Skrael freezes Toby and Aarrrgh!!!! to immobility. Claire then tells that they are not give up Nari, to which he tells who is gonna stop them before directly attacking Claire at her chest using her powers. Bellroc then uses telekinesis grab Nari and bring her to her, but Douxie tries pulling her, to which Bellroc then encircles some innocent bystanders with fire to burn them to death, while Skrael also threatens to encase Toby and Aarrrgh!!!!! with ice to freeze them to death if he doesn't give up Nari to them. Douxie then uses a body switching spell so they may think they finally got Nari but they really got Douxie. Satisfied, he and Bellroc sets Toby and Aarrrgh!!!! free as he leaves.

He and Bellroc then take Douxie/"Nari" to their secret lair in a roundhouse, to which Bellroc binds him when he was unconscious to which Skrael then sadisctically reveals himself to him while he tries freeing himself. Bellroc then tells they just need Nari's presence and they both begin chanting the spell needed to break the seals, however, they soon realize that the seals aren't breaking, to which Douxie laughs at their failure, to which Bellroc informs Skrael that they haven't taken Nari in the first place while Skrrael is confused on whom did they capture them, to which Douxie taunts them. Bellroc then explain their motivations for the plan while Skrael explained about what they will do. Skrael and Bellroc then tortuously break Douxie's spell which succeeds. Skrael then chants the spell with Bellroc and Nari who was brainwashed by Bellroc to be committed to their plan.

The Guardians of Arcadia then go to the Roundhouse where he is located, but it was empty. After a few minutes of searching, Douxie realizes it is an illusion and the roundhouse's illusion works like the Amulet of Daylight, to which Douxie activates it to reveal Skrael, Bellroc and Nari still chanting the spell, protected by a forcefield from the heroes' attacks. Soon, the seals break and they launch magic from their mouths to wake up the Titans and end their slumber, being transported to his Titan who was in Greenland, taking control of him and then rises and starts to cause worldwide destruction as he heads to the center of the universe, Earth, and connect with its living Heartstone, who will reach there in 18 hours and 6 minutes. So in order to stop the in order to stop the end of the world, Douxie, Aaarrrgh!!! and Nomura go and try stopping Nari and free her from Bellroc's control, Archie, Blinky and Claire go to Charlemagne to get the Krohnisphere from Zong-Shi, Stuart, Eli, Steve and Krel go and take Excalibur, while the rest, who are Jim, Barbara, Stricklander, Aja and Toby deal with Skrael.

Camelot then arrives in the Arctic where they believe Skrael's Titan is, but nearly crash into it and Aja manages to steer it away from him. As he continues walking, Jim orders him to man his cannons before ordering them to be fired at the Titan, which gives some temporary and mild injuries to Skrael, much to his annoyance, who then turns back, to which Jim orders to fire the cannons again. Aja then goes to a spaceship to shoot lasers against him, to which Skrael tries to bring her ship down but fails. Jim then has an advanced explosive belt and asks Strickler if he can fly him towards Skrael, but he tells he can't as his wings would freeze in the weather they are in before realizing he can use the harpoon and shoots it at Skrael's back which doesn't prove to be effective against Skrael, to which Jim activates the explosives and uses the harpoon's cable to slide across the wires, but Skrael proves to be too strong and the tension on the rope tightens and is making the castle collapse to which Barbara and Strickler try pulling it back, but to no avail, the hook ends up being released from the Titan, to which Jim falls but was saved by Strickler, whose wings freeze so they fall, but gently this time considering here they were close to the ground. Strickler then sacrifices his life by taking the explosives and detonate it through the leg which completely dismantles the Titan. However, his sacrifice was for nothing as the Titan was reassembled with Skrael smiling evilly as he rises again, continuing on his way.

Eventually, Skrael ran into the group again and realized that Nari was no longer under Bellroc's control. Skrael then used his titan to fight Nari's. Nari at first gained the upper hand due to the greens around. Skrael then had to resort to outright killing Nari, when he stabbed her titan with Ice. Nari then returned the favor and stabbed Skrael with a landmass. The ice continued to envelop the Earth Titan, causing Nari to freeze and die. The Vines also enveloped Skrael causing him to disintegrate and die.

Despite Skrael's death, Bellroc keeps going with her Titan to Arcadia to touch the Hearstone and remake the world. As such, Jim and his friends go back to Arcadia to stop Bellroc. They ultimately succeed and Bellroc is defeated upon being rendered powerless by the Trifurcate Blaster, but Toby dies as well after being crushed by some debris. Realizing once and for all what the Krohnisphere wants him to use it for, to prevent Toby's death, as well those of Nomura and Stricklander, Jim goes back in time to rescue his loved ones from dying in the battle, resulting in Toby finding the Amulet of Daylight and replacing Jim as the Trollhunter. It can be assumed that, due to changes in the timeline, Skrael and Bellroc are alive and at large once again, but with Jim's knowledge of the future, it's more than likely that they will be defeated again.

“ Sorry. It's just… so… fun. „ ~ Skrael giving an unsincere apology to Bellroc about interrupting her monologue by torturing Steve.

“ Give us Nari, or he dies! „ ~ Skrael threatening Merlin that if he doesn't give up Nari, then Douxie will be killed.

“ You were naïve. „ ~ Skrael expressing disappointment to Morgana about her personality back in Camelot when she was with Merlin and Douxie.

“ My patience grows thin, mortals. Don't you realize you've already lost? Merlin is dead at the hands of his greatest champion, and we turned his Trollhunter against you. „ ~ Skrael taunting the Guardians of Arcadia about Merlin's demise.

“ And if the others give you any trouble… kill them. „ ~ Skrael telling Jim to kill his former companions is they cause any trouble.

“ Where is the boy wizard? „ ~ Skrael asking Bellroc where Douxie is.

### *Trollhunters: Rise of the Titans*

“ Skrael: Nari.

Claire: No! You can't have her.

Skrael: And who's going to stop us? „ ~ Skrael emerging from the trainwreck after freezing Toby and AAARRRGGHH!!! before attacking Claire.

“ And so do your friends. „ ~ Skrael adding on to Bellroc's threat that the two will also kill Douxie's friends to force him to give up Nari.

“ Skrael: Why isn't it working?

Bellroc: She is not Nari.

Skrael: Who is it? „ ~ Skrael before discovering that Douxie was masquerading as Nari.

“ We will reset the world to its… original plan, and delete humanity from it! „ ~ Skrael explaining the Arcane Order's plan.

“ It's working! „ ~ Skrael excited that their torturous method of breaking Douxie's spell is succeeding

“ Nari!!! „ ~ Skrael, seeing that Nari is now out of Bellroc's control and opposing him

“ Nari, what are you doing??!! How did you slip from our control?! „ ~ Skrael to Nari as they begin fighting, also his last words.
