- “Another Smash Hit!”
- —Doom Stone's official catchphrase
Doom Stone is a gladiator-like sentient stone statue who is one of the SWAP Force Skylanders in Skylanders: Swap Force. His SWAP Force Ability is Spin.
Character Development
Doom Stone went through several concepts. Originally he was designed as a male gorgon made of stone with a different SWAP ability, with a lower column shaped like a snake's tail. These gorgon designs included serpent hair or a cobra's hood. Later, he was given a humanoid shape, passing through other concepts such as the column in the shape of a serpent's tail, wielding a jade lance instead of his mallet, a different helmet, and legs while retaining his belt of sharp crystals.[1]
Background
Personality
Doom Stone is a fearsome opponent but is always happy to help his friends with any task. He is most likely to appear stony-faced in battle and least likely to stand around.[2]
Biography
Doom Stone was carved from the strongest and purest stone in Skylands, then magically brought to life by a wizard who was rather lazy and wanted someone strong to carry heavy things and perform other tasks around his castle. Doom Stone happily helped, and in his spare time learned the ancient ways of Stone Fighting should he ever need to protect the wizard, who became like a father to him. Sure enough the need arose when the wizard was kidnapped by his evil twin brother in order to steal his spells for himself. Doom Stone wasted no time in using the skills he learned to save his master. Afterward, the wizard knew Doom Stone had a greater calling and introduced him to Master Eon, who made him a Skylander.
