Hot Dog was born in the belly of the Popcorn Volcano. While on a nearby mission, a team of Skylanders had come across the stray fire pup when the volcano erupted and Hot Dog came rocketing straight into their camp, accidentally setting Gill Grunt's tent on fire. Using his nose of danger, he helped the Skylanders complete their mission - even pouncing on a lava golem like a blazing comet when it threatened his new friends. After displaying such loyalty and bravery, Hot Dog was brought back to Eon's Citadel where he became a Skylander - and then he proceeded to bury Eon's staff.
Hot Dog is a new Fire Skylander debuting in Giants. He has two other variants: Molten Hot Dog (Giants), and Fire Bone Hot Dog (Swap Force).
He was first released in Wave 3 as part of the Scorpion Striker Battle Pack. He was then released as a single character in Wave 4, and then as part of a triple pack with Bash Series 2 and Spyro series 2 in Wave 5. However, this triple pack was not released in the US. Despite having multiple releases he is still hard to find in stores.
