There was a time when Ghost Roaster was neither a ghost nor a roaster. Instead he was a chef living in a village high in the mountains. One day, while clipping wool from a sheep to use in a recipe, he accidentally fell into the Valley of the Undead and transformed into a ghost eating ghoul! After eating an entire spectral village, its Ethereal Ruler chained Ghost Roaster to a spiked ball as punishment - its rattle heard as he wanders the night, warning nearby spirits. When Master Eon eventually heard of his predicament, he figured even a ghost eater could be useful. So he made Ghost Roaster a Skylander... after he promised to eat only evil ghosts.

Eon's Elite are a group of Skylanders originated from Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure that stand atop golden bases with a white bottom, who are stronger than their normal forms. Their release began during Skylanders: Trap Team, with repainted versions of Series 1 figures. During Skylanders: SuperChargers, a second set of Eon's Elite were released, featuring new reposed figures with different accessories.
