He was fascinated with rock-lore and traveled all throughout Skylands in search of rare minerals to pulverize with his powerful hand-crafted rock hammer, which is also named Crusher. BiographyĬrusher knew from the moment he put on his father's mining helmet that his true passion in life was crushing rocks. He's also incredibly thick-skinned - probably because his skin's made of stone. The Giants, who are also known as the Elder Elementals, are eight large and strong beings that represent the elements that the world of Skylands is made of.Single-minded and completely unstoppable, Crusher crashes through any situation with the subtlety of a three-ton hammer. He keeps the anchor’s chain wrapped around his left forearm, and he can spin the anchor around and release it, making it a formidable projectile. Thumpback’s primary weapon is a large ship’s anchor. Superhuman strength - Being very large and strong, Thumpback can push over or through obstacles, including gates and walls.Chomp – He can use his giant mount to bite his opponents.Doing this he can also knock down walls and similar obstacles. Belly Flop - He can use his great mass to do a massive belly flop, leaping forward and sliding into (or onto!) his opponents on his belly.He does, though, have two special combat moves: His primary mode of attack is with his anchor (see Weaponry below). Hand-to-hand combat - With his huge size and massive strength, Thumpback is a formidable fighter.He has three fingers and an opposable thumb on each hand, and three toes on each foot. He is blue in color, and appears to be a land-version of a humpback whale. Recently, however, the Portal Masters summoned the Giants back to the Skylands to thwart Kaos’s plan to reawaken the Arkeyan army.

Though ultimately successful, Thumpback and the other Giants were banished to Earth, and left underground in hibernation. Thumpback eventually joined with the other Giants (Elder Elementals) to fight off the Arkeyans, who ruled the Skylands with an iron fist. After the crab got away, Thumpback looked for his ship but never found it again, as such his pirating days were over.

One day he hooked into the elusive Leviathan Cloud Crab, and was carried off over the horizon. Strangely, though, Thumpback was never fond of being a pirate, and much preferred fishing instead. Thumpback was once one of the most feared pirates on one of the most feared pirate ships of all Skylands, the Phantom Tide.
