“Crash and Burn!”
    —Fryno's official catchphrase

Fryno is a bipedal Fire rhinoceros in Skylanders: Swap Force. His Series 2 counterpart is named Hog Wild Fryno.

Background

Personality

Fryno is hot on honesty. In fact, liars and cheats make him flaming mad![2] He possesses a short temper, but is trying to keep his anger in check.

Biography

Fryno was once a member of the notorious Blazing Biker Brigade and spent most of his youth riding around Skylands with the rest of his crew. But what Fryno did not realize was that, while he enjoyed a life of freedom and adventure, his crew was responsible for acts of burglary throughout Skylands. When Fryno discovered that he had been riding around with a bunch of villains, he burned with rage and demanded that they make amends for the wrong they had done. This resulted in an epic fight, which Fryno won, and the disbanding of the Blazing Biker Brigade. Fryno was in the midst of returning the valuables his crew had stolen when he met Master Eon, who was impressed with his good character and fighting abilities, and offered him a membership to a new crew -- the Skylanders.

Story

History

For years, Fryno roared across Skylands as a member of the Blazing Biker Brigade, enjoying a life of freedom and adventure. When he realized that his friends were a right shower of wrong'uns who were responsible for Skylands' biggest ever crime wave, he demanded they make amends for their wicked deeds. A battle ensued, during which Fryno taught the bikers some painful lessons about honesty. Impressed by his noble heart, Master Eon invited Fryno to join a new gang - the Skylanders.[3]

Trivia

  • Fryno appears in the Clutch - The Art of Skylanders SuperChargers artbook, implying that he may have been considered a candidate to become a SuperCharger at some point.[4]
  • Fryno's name is a combination of "fry" and "rhino".
  • Fryno bears a resemblance to Rhino from Marvel.
    • Additionally, in the "Ultimate Spider-Man" episode "Return of the Sinister 6", Rhino had armor with a track used by vehicles on his back, allowing him to perform an attack similar to Fryno's "The Horn and The Hog" attack.
  • Fryno, along with Gorm and Tuk are three of the few characters in Skylanders who are pachyderms.
    • Fryno is the only pachyderm to be a Skylander.
  • One of the names of Fryno's upgrade paths is called Brawler, which is also the name of one of Terrafin's upgrade paths
  • According to his Short Cut, due to his short temper, Fryno goes to anger management lessons.
  • Fryno is one of the few Skylanders who uses a vehicle for an attack (others including Sprocket and Hot Head).
    • Coincidentally, both he and Hot Head are of the Fire element.
  • His Soul Gem power, "Madness Maxed" is a reference to Mad Max.
  • He is one of the Skylanders who have Mini versions new to Trap Team (the others are Eruptor, Drobot, Hex, Spyro, Whirlwind, Jet-Vac, and Bash).
    • He is the first Skylander who first appeared in Swap Force to ever have a mini counterpart.
  • He, Eruptor and Fire Kraken share the same quote "Too hot to handle!"
    • Coincidentally, Fryno and Eruptor are both Fire Skylanders who have Mini counterparts (neither of which are Sidekicks). They also both have motorcycles.
  • Fryno is voiced by Robert Cait, who also voices the Colossus from the X-Men animated series, Mr. Wilter from Chalk Zone and the second voice of Norm the Genie from The Fairly Odd Parents.
    • Cait is the one of the two voice actors of Norm the Genie to have a role in Skylanders (another being the late Norm MacDonald who also voices Glumshanks in the Skylanders Academy TV series).
  • His personality is very similar to Flame Princess from Adventure Time.
    • Coincidentally, both control the element of fire.
  • Fryno has some similarities to Yang Xiao-Long, one of the main characters in the American animated web series RWBY. Both are associated with fire, use a combat style revolving around punching with their main weapons being gauntlets, possess incredibly short tempers, and are bikers.
  • He is the only core Skylander from Swap Force to get a Series 2 in Trap Team.
  • Fryno's (and Small Fry's) The Horn and The Hog attack makes him one of the fastest Skylanders in the series, even surpassing Drobot's Thruster Flight.
  • A skin texture map of Fryno was leaked in the 1.0 version of Skylanders: Ring of Heroes, but he never appeared in the final game.
  • In Skylanders: Swap Force, Fryno's blazing bike can launch him straight over gaps that would otherwise have to be jumped.
  • In the Xbox 360 version of Skylanders: Trap Team, Fryno shoots out a blazing bike whenever he falls off a ledge. This is probably a glitch.
