Fright Rider - Skylanders

Fright Rider and his steed Ozzy (known as Rider and Fright, in their backstory), are an Elven jouster and a skeletal ostrich, who together form an Undead jousting team. The two of them serve as one of the core Skylanders in Skylanders: Giants.

From their backstory, Fright Rider was a dark green-skinned elf, and Ozzy was a normal ostrich. For the jousting competition, Fright Rider wears black armor with red accents and a matching helmet that leaves his pointy ears exposed. After having been cursed by a jealous competitor that sent him into the Underworld, Fright Rider was turned into an undead elf with light blue skin and glowing eyes like Hex, and Ozzy became a skeletal ostrich after eating skele-oats.

Gallant and brave, Fright Rider is always ready to rush headlong into action.[2] Together with Ozzy, they are a courageous pair, honour-bound to right wrongs wherever they roam.[3]

Before becoming one of the Undead, Ozzy was terrified of pretty much everything. His list of fears included shadows, curtains, certain types of sandwiches and having a jousting spear accidentally plunged into his head. All that changed when he munched a bag of skele-oats so that he could be transformed into a skeleton and rescue Fright Rider. Now he isn't scared of much, apart from getting a spear through his skull. And certain types of sandwiches.[4]

Fright Rider and his magnificent ostrich, Ozzy, were the finest jousting team in all of Skylands. But after winning the championship for the third straight year, a jealous competitor placed a curse on the elf that sent him to the land of Undead. Not wanting to be without his partner, Ozzy, who up until this point had been afraid of nearly everything, ate a bag of skele-oats that turned him into a skeleton so that he could brace the journey to the underworld to save his friend. Grateful for being rescued, Fright Rider returned to the surface dedicated to helping others - while still dominating an occasional jousting tournament from time to time.
