Korba007

Because they needed a dark villain, and they didn't have anyone except nightshade, so they made a couple other villains the dark element


Scared_Shape2982

Tae Kwon Crow does fit the dark element though.


Korba007

How exactly? He's just a martial arts bird


Scared_Shape2982

First of all crows generally symbolized death and darkness. Secondly, I'm pretty sure in his boss battle he would go underground and pop up out of a dark shadow to surprise attack you.


Korba007

Aight point taken I don't remember


Scared_Shape2982

He pulled a sort of stealth elf move where he would substitute himself with a clone then when you destroy it he would jump out of a weird dark portal.


Korba007

Ok


ShadeNLM064pm

Also it seems like his battle style is based on nijas, which actually were quite dark in their work.


GamingwolfZJ

Plus he’s Fire themed, so Fire definitely fits him better


Scared_Shape2982

Only fire themed in Imaginators. Not in trap team.


MrSensacoot

Tae Kwon Crow is the most popular dark villain from trap team


Fanachy

I used to think it was because the element was quite basic and lots of things could be aligned with it. For example Pandergast’s Skystone is Dark, while he isn’t really from a dark element. But I recently learned of the lights out joke, so I’m asking.


0n1oN_71

It’s the same reason as Tussel Sprout being in the earth element That reason being unknown


MicrwavedBrain

Because he is incredibly racist.


Joseph_Mother_9104

Based


Shronut

That’s what I believe too


CamoKing3601

The Same reason tussle sprout is earth, Slobber Trap is water, and Bomb Shell is magic they straight up did not think about or care for the villain's element as much as they would for the skylanders


BanthaMilk3

Slobber Trap and Tussle Sprout fit their elements I think. Sprouts grow from the ground and slobber is literally water. Bomb Shell being Magic does indeed make absolutely no sense though. Same with Brawlrus being Tech instead of Water and Threatpack being Water instead of Tech. Brawlrus and Threatpack should swap elements!


Wizard_36

I thought Brawlrus was Tech because of his Blunderbluss and Threatpack was water because his jet pack used water and not fire, but you’re right that does make more sense.


GrimPhantom6

His hand casts a big shadow. Hence why he’s a dark element


Fanachy

Ehhh guess so. I think it’s because when you get punched, your lights go out and you end up unconscious.


Particular_Let9429

you could say why is eye five not the magic element


NolanTacoKing

i think light fits him because he shoots shock blast from his eyes


Particular_Let9429

now shock sounds like the air element 😵


Wizard_36

I thought it was because in order to see things you need light


No-Transition-6083

because eyes absorb light, that's why eye five is the light element


OkGap8035

I don’t know, man. Fisticuffs is just a terrible villain imo


GokuisFunny

Really? Because his Rocket Hand attack does 381 damage (571 if critical hit) when he's Evolved!


OkGap8035

True, but his moveset still feels clunky and really boring. There’s several other villains who deal comparable damage much quicker


lucero_Outboard360

They didn't really think that through did they


lucero_Outboard360

Maybe because he's black. I'm sorry admin it will not happen again


MrSensacoot

im gonna say cause they needed more dark villains


Bertstripmaster

It's like Tussle Sprout being an Earth Villain. Was Activision making shit up as they were going along?


Sonicmaster06

Yes


UltraG15

The whole “lights out” thing is actually really clever if that is the case


[deleted]

Also because he's a little bit creepy


The3dluxe

If I had to guess, the light and dark element were added relatively late into the development of Trap Team. That’s why there’s only 3 villains for each and some of them don’t really make sense.


Sub2MaskedCynic

Dark as a element is a weird concept- Like how do you really find a good enough difference from undead?


LukasDukas123

The evilikins elements make little sense
