“You are now the esteemed guests of zee great Baron Von Shellshock... servant of lord Kaos... and all around powershniztel.”
    —Shellshock

Baron Von Shellshock is a crab-like baron who appeared in Skylanders: Swap Force. He serves as a minion of Kaos and has taken over Motleyville to ship out the town's valuables to the evil Portal Master. He also speaks with a thick German accent.

Personality

Shellshock may act tough and boastful, but in reality he is quite the coward when things don't turn out the way he planned and will flee when the odds are pitted against him. He won't hesitate to taunt his pursuers all the while evading them, only confronting his adversaries when he is cornered. However by Skylanders: Imaginators, he seems to have become more humble, willingly directing the Skylanders to The Golden Arcade after they defeat him in a game of Creation Clash.

Story

Skylanders: Swap Force

When Flynn, Tessa, and Whiskers arrived in Motleyville to see Sharpfin, Baron Von Shellshock had Whiskers evilized and imprisoned Flynn and Tessa after announcing that he was in charge of "the new Motleyville". As the Skylander arrived on the scene, Shellshock sent the evilized Whiskers after them, but fled when they managed to drive the evil bird off. During the course of the chapter, the Skylander had to chase the cowardly crab down through Motleyville, while getting past the obstacles Shellshock set up for them. After pursuing Shellshock to the core of Shark Town at the Motleyville Mall, the Skylander discovered that he had built a crab-like machine specifically to fight the heroes. Shellshock was soon defeated, but swore that they hadn't seen the last of him. However his words weren't taken seriously by Sharpfin, Tessa and Flynn. Furious at this, Shellshock lashed out at them for not paying attention to him. In response, Sharpfin sent a few of his Dirt Shark companions to beat up Shellshock, who then ran away.

Skylanders: SuperChargers

Shellshock became a host to BattleBrawl Island near Motleyville where the Skylanders entered in order to battle Spellslamzer.

Skylanders: Imaginators

In Skylanders: Imaginators, Baron Von Shellshock was a champion of Creation Clash. The Skylanders challenged him to a game of Creation of Clash to learn the location of The Golden Arcade and won.

Boss Battle

The battle begins with Shellshock boarding his machine. He starts off hurling Chompy Powerhouses to attack the Skylander. You can't attack him directly due to a shield surrounding him. If you get closer to him, he'll shoot out multiple bombs at you. He will always launch a bomb pickup after he finishes his bomb attack. Grab the pickup and toss it at Shellshock, thus destroying his shield and dealing damage. As you deal more damage to Shellshock, he will shoot more bombs at an increased rate. Once you defeat Shellshock, he'll fly out of his machine and land on the ground in a daze, allowing you to complete the chapter.
