Backstory:
Night Squatch has been around the Skylands since the dawn of time. He spent all of that time alone. He had always been a solitary creature and had no desire to speak with or interact with anything or anyone ever. So he became good at hiding. He would blend into the shadows and remain unseen my most everyone. Occasional sightings of him only portrayed him as some kind of myth or legend.

Now, even though he never interacted with anyone, that didn't mean he didn't have any compassion for them. Often while out he would find trolls or cyclops picking on the defenseless and he would quickly beat them up in the dark and leave quickly before being seen.

He kept this up for centuries. Legends of him grew yet nobody could find him. The search continued and Night Squatch had a harder and harder time hiding from everyone. That was until one fateful night, as Night Squatch awoke to a deep southern drawl. "Howdy, partner."

Standing in his cave was a man in tall leather boots covering the bottom of worn brown pants. A loose belt held them up and tucked in a dirty plaid shirt. A large brown leather duster hanging down to his knees hung open enough to show off a whip at his hip. A brown wide brimmed hat was tipped forward hiding the mans face, but shiny white teeth glistened through in the moonlight.

Night Squatch immediately let out a deep growl and drew out his claws ready for a fight. "Who are you?"

The man raised his head, exposing a shiny white skull. Two red dots danced in deep black eye sockets as they met Night Squatch's. "I'm an admirer." He said in that thick drawl. "Here to offer you a job."

Night Squatch stared silently at the man.

"Well," He started again after a moment. "I'm helpin' put together a team of Skylanders to save the world. Sound interestin'?"

After another moment of silence the skeleton shrugged his shoulders and reached into his coat pocket. Out of it came a little slip of paper. "Oh, and don't worry. Teamwork's not required. You can keep your solitary life but just won't have to hide no more. Why don't you give it a thought." He flicked it in the direction of Night Squatch and turned to walk out into the moonlit night.

He stopped at the caves entrance and turned around. "You know," he said in a pondering voice. "I used to be like you. It wasn't quite by choice, but I was in a state of limbo for a long time with nothin' but my thoughts." He let out a short laugh. "I actually came to really like it too. It was just silence and cold reflection, somethin' I bet you know quite a bit about.

But, someone came and took me out of it. I didn't really want to get back into this real world, 'specially since it'd changed so much since I last saw it." He let out a sigh. "But this person showed me kindness and helped me adjust and before I knew it, I wouldn't have traded any o' it for the world."

Again he turned to leave. Night Squatch looked around the empty cave for a moment before picking up the small card on the ground. "You never said who you were."

The man didn't even look back as called out, "Whiplash."
