Description
Fangtom's head is completely red with narrowed eyes and two heads. The head is the same mould used for Fangdam. The only difference is the widening of the eyes, and the color of the back of the head. He has white stripes on the back, and Fangdam has black stripes.
Fangtom's torso is also completely red with white scales from the top to the bottom of his torso, and also continuing on to half of his tail. His torso is similar to Fangdam's, the difference being Fangtom has larger black markings on either side of the scales. Another note worthy difference is that he has red arms, whereas Fangdam has white.
Like all the other Tribe Generals, Fangtom has a tail, but in red. Fangtom is released with one accessory- a Fangpyre staff.
Background
Snakebite
Fangtom was discovered along with the other Fangpyre when Lloyd Garmadon unleashed them from their tomb in "Snakebite" at night. Lloyd asks Fangtom if he and the other Fangpyre can attack the Hypnobrai as revenge for betraying him. Fangtom agrees, saying "...It'll be our pleasure!". He states, however, that the Hypnobrai are strong and his tribe is "few in numbers" so he needs "reinforcements". His soldiers are to go to Ed and Edna's (Jay's parents) junkyard at night and turn broken vehicles and junk into serpent-like vehicles: the Rattlecopter, Fangpyre truck, Fangpyre Wrecking Ball, several Bite Cycles and the Fangpyre Mech (although, this is not seen being transformed in the TV series). Fangtom states that the things bitten in the junkyard are turning into "an army". He also attempts to turn Ed and Edna into scouts for his army, which fails the next day when the ninjas get the staff with the anti-venom to reverse the bite. Apparently, Fangpyre are related to vampires.
All of Nothing
Before the ninja go into the underground fortress, Fangtom appears in "All of Nothing", when he talks to Skalidor and Acidicus about The Great Devourer consuming everything in its path, and the Fangblades, prior to Pythor P. Chumsworth returning to the underground fortress.
LEGO.com Bio:
This is a description taken from LEGO.com. Please do not modify it.
Fangtom is the General and brains behind the Fangpyre tribe – which is not saying much.
As the (double) head of a strong but fairly small tribe, Fangtom’s best bet is to use the Fangpyres’ greatest strength to create reinforcement: their venom can transform anyone or anything into a snake. Once Fangtom accidentally bit himself, which is why he now has two heads that finish each other’s sentences. You might say he bit off more than he could chew...
Notes
- Fangdam is always incorrectly seen with Fangtom's torso in the TV Show.
- Fangtom and Skales are revealed to be best friends,but Skales betrays him.
- His two heads always seem to take turns speaking and usually continue and finish each other's quotes and sentences.
- He seems to speak in a Transylvanian accent, probably because of his vampiric Fangpyre powers.
- According to LEGO.com, Fangtom once accidently bit himself, giving himself two heads.
- In the TV series, Fangtom is referred to as "Fangpyre General" in the credits and is voiced by Mackenzie Grey.
- On his LEGO.com Bio, the stud on the Fangpyre staff is sideways.
- Even though Skales is his "Old Chum", Fangtom is betrayed by Skales when Skales assists Pythor in winning the generals staffs.
- In the season finale the serpentine all go to Fangtom's tomb so they don't get crushed by The Great Devourer.
- In the episode "All of nothing" he attacks Jay by biting him on his arm. Unfortunately for Fangtom, it was his armored arm, and he hurt his teeth quite badly.
- He was the 2nd general to be seen.
- He is the brother of Fangdam.
- It is likely that Skales will make hime his second in command because he's his best friend and the only general who likes him.
