Ridley


 * "Too big to lose!"
 * —Ridley's official catchphrase

Ridley is a Space Pirate Dragon Skylander of the Dark Element. He is the main antagonist of the Metroid series, but joined the Skylanders after he got trapped in a Portal. He looks like a purple dragon, but since he is a Space Pirate, this color is normal.

Biography
Ridley was the archenemy of Samus, and he had killed her parents, and he was the general of the army of Space Pirates. He was wandering one day, and found a strange, glowing, swirling whitish blue Portal. Out of curiosity, he went in it. He was knocked out, only to find himself in Skylands, and he shrank to a smaller size. He thought this looked ridiculous, but then remembered how people said he was too big for Smash Brothers, and he realized this size actually wasn't that bad. A few days later, he became friends with a dragon named Spyro. Spyro asked him if he could join the Skylanders, and Ridley accepted the offer.

Appearance
Ridley has a skeletal appearance. He is dark purple with orange and yellow eyes. He has a pointed tail like a pterodactyl, and orange wings tipped with white spikes. He has a slender tongue like a dolphin, and a fairly long snout.

Personality
Ridley is quite violent. If he finds an enemy, he will make an attempt to stab it in the heart with his tail. If he is friends with somebody, he can be calm. He always wants something to happen, as he is very active.
