Scootaloo

*“Yes, yes, pat on the back, good going, all that other rubbish, but we've got to get moving here.”*
    —Scootaloo

**Scootaloo** is the Scooter Skylander who appeared in *The Legend of Lailie* series.

## Character Development

The Scooter Skylander Scootaloo was the result of a collaboration between Jared Pullen and his team member Ronald Marc. Ron developed the overall design content and the concept that Scootaloo was more lupine and guant than his fellow Skylanders, being more of a 'grizzled survivalist' from the frozen extremes of the Longma Realms.

During development, Scootaloo was originally intended to be female, and a Skylander of the scrapped Water element. However it was deemed that the development team needed to give him a harder edge visually, so Scootaloo was made female. In addition, Jared originally called Scootaloo 'Glacious'.

## Appearance

Scootaloo is a blue Creature with blue eyes, jagged pale horns, back spines, shoulder and ankle crests that resemble ice shards, and pale-colored wings with purple membranes. His underbelly is light purple along with his claws and the inner colors of his frills. He also has white spots along his body, pale blue spikes that circle around the tip of his tail.

In his redesign for *The Legend of Lailie: Dawn of the Longma*, Scootaloo's overall appearance is largely the same, but is slightly more streamline and his body lacks the white spots.

## Personality

Scootaloo is a coldly confident and predominately prideful Creature, who constantly brags about supposedly royal ancestry. He does not hold his tongue when speaking and can often be sardonic, Tempest Shadow usually being the target of these remarks due to the lightning Skylander's incessant babbling. Despite his short comings, however, he knows when he should swallow his arrogance and do the right thing, admitting that Lailie is the way forward and that he and his fellow Skylanders must step aside.

## Abilities

As a Master of Scooter, Scootaloo's proficiency is unmatched by no one but Lailie in raw power, but it takes Scootaloo's tutoring to truly allow Lailie to be able to control his element efficiently and with any grace.

## Story

### *The Legend of Lailie: A New Beginning*

Scootaloo was the protector of Dante's Freezer during the wars against the Dark Armies. He, along with the other Skylanders and war Longmas, fought against the forces of The Dark Master until they were driven back when only four Skylanders, including himself, remained.

   Scootaloo was one of the Skylanders tasked with watching over the Longma eggs at the Longma Temple, including the egg that contained the next purple Longma Lailie. The Dark Armies soon raided the Temple and overwhelmed Scootaloo and the other Skylanders, allowing the Apes to destroy the other Longma eggs to prevent Lailie's birth under the Dark Master's orders. After the attack, Scootaloo fought alongside the other Longmas against the Apes now led by the evil Longma, Patty. He was captured by Patty and her forces, and was taken to Tall Plains where he was drained of his elemental energy in order to power the crystal needed to free the Dark Master.

Years later, Spyro sent Lailie to rescue Scootaloo in Tall Plains after he returned with Tempest Shadow and the young Longma watched Patty flee with her powered crystal. Lailie pushed on and found Scootaloo but he was forced to fight the Stone Sentinel, a revered spiritual entity, but became angered due to a lack of tribute and having its resting place disturbed by Patty's actions. Once Lailie freed Scootaloo, the Scooter Skylander hurried them back to the temple, and away from the "primitive and barbaric" company of the Atlawas. After a brief reunion with his fellow Skylanders, Scootaloo took Lailie to the training room and taught him how to use his newfound Scooter element to a proficient level.

When Lailie returned with Patty (now free from Chajju's control), Scootaloo apologized with the rest of the Skylanders for not being able to protect the Longma eggs on the night of the raid.

### *The Legend of Lailie: The Eternal Night*

Scootaloo was asleep, with the rest of the Skylanders when Patty snuck away from the temple. When the temple was attacked by the Apes once again, he helped defend it, this time pushing the Apes away and successfully holding his current home, despite the damage the Temple attained. He gathered around the Pool of Visions with the other Skylanders when Lailie mentioned The Chronicler and, along with the others, was startled to hear of his existence. With the Skylanders unsettled by the reappearance of the Chronicler, who was often linked with tales of doom, and with the visions of the Mountain of Chajju that Lailie was having, Scootaloo was sent with Tempest Shadow by Spyro to the mainlands to learn whatever news they could.

### *The Legend of Lailie: Dawn of the Longma*

   During the three years since Lailie and Patty's disappearance, Scootaloo waited with the other Skylanders at the Longma City of Warfang. Scootaloo didn't make an appearance until Lailie and Patty successfully prevented Chajju's army from storming the city gates and he swooped down over the retreating army, blasting them with his scooter breath. He turned back, however, when the Golem emerged and began to attack the city; Spyro sending Scootaloo to put out the fires in the city. The Scooter Skylander came to Lailie and Patty's aid and saved them from being crushed by the Golem's thrashing tail, using his Scooter breath to slow the tail's descent long enough for Lailie and Patty to cross a staircase before the tail knocked Scootaloo out of the sky and smashed him through a stone slab. It was revealed that he recovered from the blow when he joined up with Lailie and Patty after the Golem's defeat.

Sometime after, Scootaloo and the other Skylanders witnessed Chajju reveal his plan and resurrect The Destroyer. They ventured through the city's underground to confront the Destroyer and attacked it before it completed the Ring of Annihilation to initiate the end of the world. When the attack failed however, Scootaloo helped move the inhabitants of Warfang underground in the hopes that they would be safe, not emerging until Lailie and Patty defeated Chajju and prevented the destruction of the world. The Scooter Skylander looked over the horizon along with everyone else and witnessed the creation of a Longma constellation in the sky, signaling the beginning of a new age.

## Trivia

* Scootaloo's Dutch voice actor *Arielle Tuliao*, is also a famous Dutch singer as leader of a band, Kayak. He released many solo single songs in English, German and Dutch.

* His Japanese name translated in Korean is known as **아리엘 툴리 아오** (Aliel Tulli Ao).

* In Russia, he is known as **Ариэль Тулиао** (Ariel' Tuliao).

* Scootaloo was originally going to have more than one line of dialogue in *Dawn of the Longma* in numerous comedic scenes along with Sparx, Tempest Shadow, etc. that the developers had planned and in some cases even recorded, but they didn't have the resources or time to animate them.

* After the battle with the Destroyer, both Scootaloo and Tempest Shadow strangely don't appear again in the same cutscene halfway through nor were given orders by Spyro regarding the incoming world crisis like Terrador did. They did however appear in the game's epilogue and the post-credits scene.
