Great Protoon

The Great Protoon is a large pink orb that resides somewhere in the Everglades. The Protoon has the magical ability to take the form of eleven magical crystals known as the Elemental Crystals, magical crystals that represent the ten Elements of Skylands.

It is said that the Great Protoon's power is what maintains the balance and harmony between creatures and nature.

They appeared in both the form of the Great Protoon and Elemental Crystals in the Skylanders: Elements of Phazon story Serpent of the Ocean.

History
Not much is known about the history or origin of the Protoon, though, there are rumors that the Protoon is somehow connected to the Core of Light, but no proof has been found yet.

It is said that when the very first purple dragon, Pazuzu, who is the ancestor of Malefor, learned to harness the powers of each and every Element, his powers started to grow so powerful, that he couldn't control it. The dragon elders had no choice but to use the Elemental Crystals and banish him to the Underworld before it was too late.

When Prawn turned into her sinister evil form, her best friend, Claud, used the power of the Elemental Crystals to banish her to the Tower of Lies. Years later, Prawn broke out, and caused chaos in the Everglades. Spyro had found the Great Protoon in a chest in a secret room in his house in Willow Woods, in which it was revealed that Prawn had hid it there. The Skylanders Spyro, Sunburn, Flashwing, Smile Dog, and Tails chased her back to the Tower of Lies where they used the crystals' power to defeat her and turn her back to her normal form.

Appearance
The Great Protoon usually has three main appearances, with the main one being it's protoon form, in which it's a large pink orb, though it can also turn blue. It's second form is it's Elemental Crystal form, in which the Protoon separates into seventeen crystals. Each crystal has it's own unique shape and color, with most of them being the color of the Element it represents, (for example, the Fire crystal is red colored, while the Life crystal is green.) Each one of the crystals are also in the shape of the symbol of the Element it represents.

Trivia

 * The real Great Protoon comes from the first Rayman game.
 * The Elemental Crystals are based off the Elements of Harmony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
 * They could also be a reference to the Chaos Emeralds from the Sonic games because of how they can be used to transform into a different form.
