Water

Water is one of the main elements in the Skylanders series.

History
Water is present in all living things. Without it, few of the Elements would ever have come to exist. Water takes on many forms - a calm lake, a torrential rainfall, a furious typhoon - and Water Elementals come in just as wide a range of shapes and sizes. Vast areas of Skylands are covered in Water, and beneath the surface lie a whole host of undersea kingdoms. There are creatures living down there who haven't even found out that dry land exists, never mind set foot on it. From heroic protectors like the Gillmen to the monstrous fish like the Leviathan, Water supports and teems with all manners of life.

Weakness
The Life element is strongest against Water. The grass, flowers, and plants that are part of Life suck Water through their roots to give them strength. Which is great for them, but not too handy for Water.

Abilities
Characters who are associated with this element uses water to wash away their enemies. They also have the ability to swim through water to areas other characters, who don't wield the element of Water, can't reach. Water-based characters and enemies have an advantage over Skylanders who wield the element of Fire in the Battle Arena. The color of this element is blue.

Water-based Skylanders also stand on a pedestal of water when they're in their toy form.

Trivia

 * Water-based Skylanders are one of the three elemental characters who do not build a bridge when opening their elemental gates, the others being Air and Fire. Instead, they are pulled through a swirling whirlpool of water in Spyro's Adventure and later stop a geyser in order to pass through in Skylanders Giants.
 * Despite being of this element, Slam Bam and Chill appear to be more Ice-based than Water-based. This may be because ice is also seen as frozen water.
 * In Skylanders: Giants, the music from Leviathan Lagoon plays in the Water Elemental Zones.
