History[]
Skylanders: Trap Team[]
Bad Juju was found in the Lair of the Golden Queen when the Skylanders battled their way through the queen's homestead to stop her from taking over Skylands. However, about halfway through they accidentally woke Bad Juju up, enraging her. Her attempts to subdue them with her magic failed and she was trapped after her defeat. Despite having served under the Golden Queen as a high-ranking lieutenant, Bad Juju admitted after being capture that she strongly disliked the queen.
Later, as her villain side quest, Bad Juju would retrieve a remote control for Glumshanks. He explained to the skylanders that he had created a spare remote to shut down the queen's ultimate weapon, but had dropped it down a sandpit and needed Bad Juju's wind magic to retrieve it. After she created a whirlwind to get the remote out, Glumshanks thanked her, and she was rewarded with a new skin.
Skylanders: Superchargers[]
Bad Juju serves as one of the non-playable Villain Racers during the Sky Race Villain Tournament.
Skylanders: Imaginators[]
Before the events of Imaginators, Bad Juju found herself inside Cloud Cracker Prison once again. After experimenting with her magic within the confines of the jail, her overuse of spells lead to the unexpected creation of her son, Juju Junior. Master Eon soon came to the Prison in hopes of using some of the captured villains to train the imaginator skylanders. Bad Juju, who felt that it was time to change her ways because she wanted to give her son a better role model, became one of the Sensei Villains, who went to fight against Kaos' forces and train imaginators of the Swashbuckler Battle Class with a new appearance, moveset, and the accompaniment of Juju Junior.
