Meet the 3 heroes of Netflix's Skylanders Academy (also Norm Macdonald)

Activision and Netflix are almost ready to debut their new animated series based on Skylanders. The goofball adventures of Spyro, Stealth Elf, and Eruptor are headed to the video streaming service on October 28, and you can get an early look at the action in the trailer above.

Here are the three heroes at the center of the series, though you can expect ample appearances from the rest of the massive Skylanders roster.

Spyro

Party animal (dragon). Loves to reminisce about old PlayStation games.

Stealth Elf

Evasive. Clever. Never hesitates to misuse a sheep.

Eruptor

You might call him hot headed. But very warm with his friends.

...and Norm Macdonald, er, Glumshanks

The green one. Struggles with depression. Prone to doing guest spots on Conan.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
