The Mabu are a species of mammal-like creatures in Skylands. They largely populate the world and have many villages around the islands. Most of them have peaceful lives and are not used to the destruction Kaos is causing. However in many levels with where the Skylanders require support, the Mabu Defense Force is called to help them against Trolls and other obstacles.

A notable group of Mabu are the Mystic Seekers, who live in the Radiant Isles and only appear in the 3DS version of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. In the Mirror of Mystery, Mabu are the mirror world equivalent of the evil Troll army.

Appearance

Mabu commonly resemble pandas, but they come in all shapes and sizes. For example, Cali and Flynn are much taller and more humanoid than most Mabu and the former has stripes; Hugo resembles a mole and has a tail unlike other Mabu, in addition to having long brown fur.

Story

Including Hugo, Cali, and Flynn, the Mabu played a major role in the events of most of the games with a few appearing in some of the Skylanders' backstories.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

  • A Mabu mining expedition discovered the 100-year buried Prism Break whilst digging for valuable jewels underground. Grateful for being free of his earthly prison, the once fearsome crystal golem dedicated himself to protecting the Mabu and Skylands.
  • The Mabu of Shattered Island were forced to evacuate after a tornado began to ravage their town. The Mabu Royal Family were trapped within the ruins of their palace, but were rescued by the Skylander.

3DS Version

In the Nintendo 3DS version of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, a group of Mabu called the Mystic Seekers live on the Radiant Isles.
