- “Eat This!”
- —Food Fight's official catchphrase
Food Fight is a living artichoke who is one of the new Life Skylanders in Skylanders: Trap Team. He is available in the console starter pack of the game along with Snap Shot.
Character Development
Food Fight was created like most Skylanders, in the form of random doodles. Toy and character director, I-Wei Huang, was trying to come up with a plant based little critter, and explored lots of different ideas on a page. Food Fight started feeling very cute, but lacking any sense of a “hero”, and doesn't look like he would do well in a battle.
I-Wei then explored more on the character, trying to find a cool angle to take him. One aspect that he really liked with Food Fight, is the tactile feel of the spiky bits on his head. "There is something very primal about wanting to pick up an object, just to feel it with your fingers. I wanted that to be a big part of him, so he turned into a artichoke-ish character."
After deciding on an artichoke theme, I-Wei Huang played around with more porpotions, and explored different options for Food Fight. The next step was what weapon to give him. Since he is a cute little guy, I-Wei Huang wanted to balance Food Fight out a bit with a cool weapon. He explored through a few different guns types that shoot different veggies. In the end, the team went with something very simple: a Tomato gun.[2]
Background
Personality
Even though he's got a lot on his plate, Food Fight always has time for his teammates. He's an artichoke with a heart of gold.[3]
Biography
Food Fight does more than just play with his food, he battles with it! This tough little Veggie Warrior is the byproduct of a troll food experiment gone wrong. When the Troll Farmers Guild attempted to fertilize their soil with gunpowder, they got more than a super snack – they got an all-out Food Fight! Rising from the ground, he led the neighborhood Garden Patrol to victory. Later, he went on to defend his garden home against a rogue army of gnomes after they attempted to wrap the Asparagus people in bacon! His courage caught the eye of Master Eon, who decided that this was one veggie lover he needed on his side as a valued member of the Skylanders. When it comes to Food Fight, it’s all you can eat for evil!
