- “The Art of War!”
- —Splat's official catchphrase
Splat is a pink faun who is one of the two Magic SuperChargers in Skylanders: SuperChargers. Her signature vehicle is the Splatter Splasher.
Character Development
In her original adaption, Splat was darkness-based and she had no artistic attacks. Her staff was originally set as a tool to spread oil around. During play testing, children were noting that her staff looked like a brush and they asked why her brush could only paint in one color. This lead to Vicarious Visions reimagining Splat that made her into a more bright and colorful character that resonated with kids even more.[1]
Background
Personality
Although Splat was in boredom of doing repetitive work at school, she is still a colorful character and admires her various artwork. She also encourages others to break free of their comfort zones and express themselves with paintings. She also knows how to make an excellent impression on her peers.
Biography
Splat grew up in a typical faun village, which was perfectly manicured and orderly. Every day in school, she and her classmates would recite the same poems, play the same music, and paint the same picture – which was always a portrait of their great ancestor, Fluty Hoofdancer. But this didn’t suit Splat. The only art she wanted to learn was the art of war! After school, she would sneak off to the river and practice her own free form fighting technique against Chompies and other creatures that were causing trouble. When the elder fauns learned of this, were outraged. But soon thereafter, a band of Drow attacked the village to steal their valuable art, and while the other fauns cowered in fear, Splat stood her ground. Unleashing her self-taught fighting style, she defended her village and sent the Drow running. Now as a member of the Skylanders, Splat makes quite the impression wherever she goes!
