Verl is a Gillman in Skylanders: Trap Team who lives in the Secret Sewers of Supreme Stink. Centuries ago, his Gillmen kind, locked themselves in the Secret Sewers of Supreme Stink to escape from the "Great Germ Outbreak". He is paranoid of outsiders, greatly fearing that they are unclean and filled with germs.
After putting the Skylanders through a trial to determine if they were really Skylanders or not, Verl and the other Gillmen were convinced that the Skylanders were really the legendary heroes who had arrived to help them.
Quotes
- ”What?!?! Another outsider! We hadn’t seen anyone since we locked ourselves away during the GREAT GERM OUTBREAK centuries ago! But lately, all these mutant monsters showed up and naturally confirmed our suspicion that the outside world was destroyed. Wait a minute, you may be carrying GERMS! YOU ARE UNCLEAN!!!”
- ”Okay, I might have overreacted back there. You’re different somehow. In fact, there’s something vaguely heroic about you. And you haven’t tried to steal our green goo like the other mutants…but you are probably still crawling with GERMS - AHHH!!!”
Trivia
- During the final cutscene of Secret Sewers of Supreme Stink, where Verl is talking with Flynn and the Skylanders, there is an error in which two Verls can be seen: one is talking with Flynn and the Skylander, while the other is still in the background standing on the stage with the other Gillmen. This is repeated in the following game with Spellslamzer, on BattleBrawl Island.
- Verl and his other Gillmen colleagues are taller than other Gillmen seen elsewhere in the series, and have darker and more prominent scales on their arms instead of their backs.
- His name could be a play on the word "virile," meaning strong or healthy hinting at robust health or cleanliness.
