Fright Rider

"Fear the Spear!"

- -Fright Rider's official catchphrase

Fright Rider are an Undead jousting duo who are one of the new Skylanders in Skylanders: Giants.

Biography
Rider and his magnificent ostrich, Fright, were the finest jousting team in all of Skylands. But after winning the championship for the third straight year, a jealous competitor placed a curse on the elf that sent him to the land of Undead. Not wanting to be without his partner, Fright, who up until this point had been afraid of nearly everything, ate a bag of skele-oats that turned him into a skeleton so that he could brace the journey to the underworld to save his friend. Grateful for being rescued, Fright Rider returned to the surface dedicated to helping others - while still dominating an occasional jousting tournament from time to time.

Trivia

 * Fright Rider's catchphrase is similar to Hex's, whose catchphrase is 'Fear the Dark!, and Gill Grunt's catchphrase 'Fear the Fish!'
 * Fright Rider, along with Eye-Brawl, are two Skylanders who are composed of two different characters.
 * In the primary combo, burrow move, and Flock of Fury attack; Fright sticks his head in the ground. This is a refrence to the misconception that real ostritches poke their heads in the ground.
 * Fright Rider and Sprocket are the only new normal Skylanders who don't have an additional counterpart, even a LightCore.
 * Rider speaks with an English accent, likely as reference to fact that jousting was a major sport in medieval England (and other European countries).
 * Rider is voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, who is best known for voicing Teenage Ben Tennyson from the later Ben 10 series, Sasuke Uchida from Naruto, and Spider-Man from Super Hero Squad Online''.
