| “ | Find me... | „ |
| ~ Skelesaurus' most famous quote |
| “ | Bigfoot: Before Camp Crush, before I had grown into my tires, the island was a dangerous place, full of competing tribes. Skelesaurus wanted to rule it all, and he harnessed the power of the island's Tetra Crystals, and transformed himself into a Power Smasher. It was only an alliance of all the monster trucks brought together that stood in Skelesaurus's way. They took the source of his power and locked him away deep underground. But now...he's back. | „ |
| ~ Bigfoot describing Skelesaurus's backstory |
| “ | Fossil Fury! Skelesaurus! Come on and take us to the chorus! (Hey!) Fossil! Fury! Skelesaurus' coming! Better hurry! Fossil! Fury! He's coming! Coming! For you! Whoa, whoa-oh! Fossil! Fury! Skelesaurus' coming! Better worry! Fossil! Fury! He's coming! Coming! For you! Whoa, whoa-oh! | „ |
| ~ The beginning chorus for "Fossil Fury", which is Skelesaurus's theme song. |
Skelesaurus is the main antagonist of season 3 of the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks Camp Crush cartoon series and is the overarching antagonist of the series onwards. He is a monster truck with a body that resembles some sort of weird dinosaur that seems to be fossilized.
He's an old truck that attempted to take over Monster Truck Island in the past, but was sealed away by a bunch of ancient tribes due to becoming too powerful and nearly taking the island over. However, many years later, he brainwashed Bone Shaker into doing his evil deeds and convinced him to free him from the prison he was locked up in. After that, he continued his quest to take over the island until the Camp Crush Crew stopped him from doing so, and now his main goal is to take them down.
He is voiced by Chuck Kourouklis, who also plays Darius from League of Legends.
Biography[]
Past[]
A long time ago, Monster Truck Island was known to be a dangerous place, full of tribes competing for various territories. Skelesaurus purely wanted to rule the entire island, so he stole the island's "Tetra Crystals" and used their power to make him more powerful. The tribes, noticing he was getting more and more powerful, formed an alliance, destroyed his power sources, and locked him away.
Present Day[]
Skelesaurus after the earthquake
Fast forward many years later, and after an earthquake strikes the island, Race Ace, Bone Shaker, and Bigfoot would find themselves stuck on a tilting platform high above a ravine. Skelesaurus would find Bone Shaker, and use some sort of strange Tetra Crystal to brainwash Bone Shaker and make him go into a trance, nearly killing Race Ace and Bigfoot in the process. After the three get saved, Bone Shaker would break free from the trance, and at the end of the episode, Skelesaurus is seen. In the season 3 finale, Bone Shaker would fall behind during a competition, and Skelesaurus brainwashed Bone Shaker once again, telling him he can help him win. Bone Shaker does win the challenge, but Skelesaurus only did it to lure Bone Shaker into going to his ancient fortress. There, Bone Shaker meets Skelesaurus, locked away, and Skelesaurus uses Bone Shaker to bust him out.
After Bone Shaker's friends show up, they try to get Bone Shaker to leave, but Skelesaurus tells Bone Shaker that he found him to be more "unique" and "have more potential" than all of his friends. After using some of his stone statue minions to attack Bone Shaker's friends, he and a now brainwashed Bone Shaker leave. He then lures Bone Shaker into going with him to get Crushzilla so he can use Crushzilla to get a Tetra Crystal. After they get the crystal, Skelesaurus regains his powers and Bone Shaker also gets powers himself. Skelesaurus orders Bone Shaker to "send him packing" because he thought Crushzilla would "betray" them in the future. While Bone Shaker did this, he then kidnapped Race Ace, who was spying on him, locked him in a cage, and held him hostage.
Skelesaurus' logo
Upon returning to his fortress, he used the Tetra Crystal's power to enhance his minions and shift the environment to make his fortress stronger. However, Bone Shaker's friends would get powers upon getting crystals themselves, and engage in a battle with his minions, where Skelesaurus would order his minions to "smash them to pieces". Bone Shaker would then get free of the brainwashing, and save Race Ace from his cage. Race Ace would then go on to destroy Skelesaurus's power source, but the energy of the crystal caused Race Ace to die upon destroying it. Due to his power source being destroyed, Skelesaurus would then run away, vowing to return.
Appearance[]
Skelesaurus' iconic "S" logo
Skelesaurus is known to be a monster truck, with some sort of fossilized dinosaur body. He has a light green paint job. He has some sort of weird, blue colored frame that goes underneath his body and over top of his roll cage, that consists of the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks logo. He has a big "rib cage" along his sides, with the Hot Wheels logo underneath it. His rear fenders have his logo going across them. He has a massive engine on his back. His hood consists of a "mouth" with sharp yellow teeth that make an evil smile, a black "nose" and his iconic "S" logo in between his "eyes". He also has a big horn on his "forehead." He has a purple roll cage with a gray chassis, black tires, and yellow rims.
Personality[]
Skelesaurus is known to be quite manipulative and charismatic, as he mainly uses manipulation to lure in his victims. He shows no redeeming qualities whatsoever, as when Bone Shaker joins him, he shows no respect for him at all, purely complimenting him just so he can feel more safe around him. He shows no mercy when it comes to his evil deeds, as he shows no hesitation when he joins the final battle, when he attempts to kill multiple monster trucks. He is also known to be both physically and psychologically abusive, as when he instructs Bone Shaker to harm Crushzilla, Bone Shaker says "I don't know." meaning he didn't want to do it, but Skelesaurus demanded him to do it anyway, which he did, and in the final battle when Bone Shaker betrays him, he tells Bone Shaker to "embrace his extinction", meaning he was willing to murder Bone Shaker the first chance he got, showing no true care for him, as well as the fact that he doesn't seem to really care about his minions, sending them into battle without a second thought.
Skelesaurus is way smarter than he looks, as he doesn't choose his victims by random, rather they're calculated. He sees the weaknesses inside them and uses that to exploit and abuse them. He is also known to be narcissistic, as he sees himself above everyone else, calling Race Ace a "false champion" when he holds him hostage. He's incredibly ambitious, and will do whatever it takes to reach his goals, intending to kill, torture, manipulate, enslave, and/or imprison anyone who gets in his way. He thrives purely by power and control to get what he wants, and will go to any length to get it. He's purely a violent and malicious individual from beginning to end.
