“The Scales of Justice!”
    —Pit Boss' official catchphrase

Pit Boss is an Undead viper Sensei of the Sorcerer Battle Class in Skylanders: Imaginators.

Background

Personality

Pit Boss' wisdom is said to have no bounds.[1] He has a love for certain "S" words that are related to snakes, such as the words 'snake', 'slither', 'serpent', and 'statistics'.

Biography

Pit Boss was a member of a powerful order of snake philosophers that lived high up in the Great Twisty Mountains. Travelers would come from miles around and make the treacherous climb just to seek out the snakes’ wisdom. Each visitor was permitted to ask one question, but Pit Boss became alarmed when the same question was asked by several different people – how to deal with the growing threat of Kaos! With such a great concern, Pit Boss knew that it was time for action, not words. He left the Order of the Snake in search of this threat, and soon it was clear that Kaos was worse than Pit Boss had imagined. Knowing he could not stop Kaos on his own, Pit Boss joined the Skylanders, and due to his great wisdom and mystical powers, Master Eon enlisted him into the Sensei program as a Sorcerer Master.

Gameplay

Pit Boss can blast ghostly snakes at his foes, as well as summon a swirling pit of vipers that damage foes. Pit Boss can also transform into a giant beastly snake, and even drag enemies along with him. His Soul Gem allows him to summon a colossal undead snake from the ground when in his snake form. His Sky-Chi power allows him to summon a rain of snakes from above which damages enemies in a wide range.

Trivia

  • Pit Boss is the third snake Skylander, after Rattle Shake and Cobra Cadabra.
    • Like them, Pit Boss has limbs and can call forth more snakes to assist him.
  • His name is based on the name of the snake species, the Pit Viper.
    • His name may also be based on concept of snake pits, places of torture in mythology and folklore, where unfortunate prisoners would be thrown in to be traumatized or even killed in horrific ways. Likewise, he can summon and control large amounts of snakes to harass his enemies, making him the boss of the pit.
    • His name also might be based on casino pit bosses, which manages other supervisors in the game tables.
  • He is the third Undead character voiced by John Kassir, after Ghost Roaster and Short Cut.
  • Although his scepter is golden on his promotional art and figure toy, in game is silver.
  • During development, Pit Boss was a Dark Skylander, at that point simply named Viper.[2]
  • According to Jeff Murchie, Pit Boss was one of the first characters approved for Skylanders: Imaginators. Initially, some designers were concerned that he looked too much like a villain, but they decided that it was good to have at least one "edgy" Skylander in the lineup.[3]
