Biography:
Kaos needed to find someone both loyal and powerful by his side. He was tired of all of his failing minions to not do a single thing he ever asked for. That's when he had a reflection from his childhood. He remember his first time discovering his Portal Master powers when he brought the Wilikin to life. That's when inspiration struck. Why not make one mainly suited for combat? Kaos began to work his craft. To make it even easier to get along with, Kaos decided to make this Wilikin be exactly like him in every way. Kaos only managed to make his head, body and arms before he started to change things up. He added some strings like he saw on Mesmerelda's puppets. However, soon after he completed it, he quickly got bored with it. Like all trash, he threw out his work away. It just happened by luck that it landed in Wilikin Village.

The Wilikin were startled to see a thing like that land in the village. He looked like them, but was not like them. What was more was that he was not moving. He should be moving in their world. Calling to their Skylander friends, they sent over some help. Hugo and Sprocket were sent over. They were both shocked to see that the puppet was exactly like Kaos. But their Wilikin friends begged to help their newfound companion. They used one of the switches and built the device into the puppet's chest. When Sprocket turned it on, she was shocked as purple string-like energy shot up into the air. The puppet was soon raised up, and he looked to them. He questioned who he was. Before they could give an answer, the village was attacked. The Chompy Mage wanted his revenge, and he brought more than enough Chompies to do it. He knew of the switches, and turned it off. All of the Wilikin dropped, all but one. Ventrilotwist was the only puppet standing. He, alongside Sprocket, fought off the armies, using Ventrilotwist's unique abilities, and won. Greatly surprised by his selfless actions, Hugo and Sprocket gave Master Eon good words for him. Ventrilotwist now fights alongside the Skylanders, fighting off evil which includes the evil caused by his former creator.

Trivia:
-Because he was made to be like Kaos, Ventrilotwist has the same voice as Kaos.
    -However he does not announciate certain words like Kaos does. Just a normal voice.

=================================================

What can I say? I like puppets. And when thinking of this, a thought came. Gill Grunt was the first Gilman to be a part of the Skylander series. And since then, we've had a handful of supporting characters that were Gilman. So, why not use already made species and make them a Skylander?

This is awesome, quick question, would you say he sounds more like Billy from The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, another role Kaos’ voice actor played

Such a creative and original design, name, backstory and concept.  Very nice work and I too have always wanted a Wilikin Skylander.  The amount of creepy mystery the character could have, the unique gameplay and style has so much potential for a hero.  You are a very creative artist and really think you should be working at Toys For Bob and coming up with designs for the next game.  That's how good your work is to me.

Thanks. I was actually debating on making a move in his arsenal where he could scare enemies by impersonating Kaos or not

quinken In reply to ARTgazer12 [2014-10-06 20:42:12 +0000 UTC]

lol I actually kinda like that idea... since most of the enemies are minions of Kaos maybe the move could have him copy Kaos' voice to make them think he's nearby so they stand still and salute or something... that way they stop and you can attack them lol
