“He'll steal the show. And everything else!”
    —Villain Vault

Nightshade is a thief who is one of the Dark trappable villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. He is the Doom Raider of the Dark element.

Personality

Nightshade is a highly sophisticated thief and a follower of the Darkness. Despite having been born rich, he steals treasure simply to show off. He does have a sense of honor as he willingly accepted capture, knowing that he couldn't run away forever.

Story

History

A charismatic ninja thief, Nightshade is by far the most famous burglar in the history of Skylands. He also happens to be very smooth, charming, and old-school cool. Having been born rich, he doesn't need the treasure he so expertly steals. He only does it to show off how awesome he is.

Skylanders: Trap Team

Nightshade snuck into the high security Midnight Museum to steal the Dark Eye of Tomorrow in order to have the power to steal everything in Skylands. The Skylanders attempted to retrieve the Dark Eye before it could fall into the wrong hands, but Nightshade beat them to it and snatched the artifact before making his escape. After the Skylanders defeated the security forces of the museum, Nightshade was cornered by the heroes and engaged them in a fight. During the battle, the Doom Raider used the shadows of the pillars to inflict damage to the Skylanders and created shadow clones of himself to confuse and harm them. Despite this advantage, Nightshade was defeated and accepted capture with dignity.
