Hot Head

Hot Head is a Fire Golem who is one of the eight Giants in Skylanders: Giants.

Hot Head was designed around one simple mechanic: cover enemies in oil and light them on fire. In later Skylanders games, the team would get feedback from the German localization team that this was not OK but during Skylanders: Giants, the development was so rushed through that this one slipped through. Nat Loh had originally asked for one fire hand and one oil hand but the two was determined to look better with two fire grill hands so the team just made it work. Hot Head's Sizzle Shower ability was visually inspired by Jiraiya's Fire Rasengan ultimate jutsu as seen in Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm.

Nat Loh added details to the Eternal Flame upgrade that puts a dragon on Hot Head's fire hand while the Hot Oil Treatment upgrade puts a squid on his oil hand. "Hot with a Chance of Meteors" is a callout to Dragon Ball's Spirit Bomb and his Hot Rod soul gem transformation is a shout out to Robotech's Cyclone motorcycle.
