Hood Sickle is a reaper who was originally one of the trappable Undead villains in Skylanders: Trap Team. In Skylanders: SuperChargers, he is an NPC racer, driving a Sky vehicle fashioned with skulls and ominous appendages.
In Skylanders: Imaginators, Hood Sickle is a Dark-elemental Sensei who teaches Imaginators of the Sentinel Battle Class, changing slightly in appearance. Similarly to Smash Hit from the previous game, he also has a Steel Plated counterpart. At first glance, it’s easy to be frightened by Hood Sickle. Some say it’s his imposing stature that freaks them out. Others are unnerved by his menacing hood. But most just try to stay away from his long, sharp scythe – and it didn’t help that he had a bad habit of disappearing and then suddenly popping up behind unsuspecting people. In fact, the Trap Masters that locked him away in Cloudcracker Prison hoped they would never have to see him again. But Master Eon thought there might be a chance for Hood Sickle to change his ways. Everyone said Eon was crazy, but after spending time with the mysterious creep, Eon learned that Hood Sickle was actually not a bad guy – just really super spooky. Hood Sickle took his job of terrifying others very seriously, and Eon believed that perhaps he could bring a similar dedication to teaching others as a Sensei. Plus, he figured that Skylanders in training would certainly pay attention in his classes. This has all proven true, and Hood Sickle now teaches Sentinel Imaginators, who definitely hang on his every word. Or else.
