Character Concept History[]
Skyscraper was meant to be a throw-away gag, and his design originally consisted of 4 Trolls stacked on each other's shoulders. Despite their appearance, they were all one Troll.[1]
The name "Skyscraper" was going to be changed, but was kept in the movie as it was "80% the character".[2]
3D Story[]
Trolls World Tour[]
He appears briefly in the movie when Queen Poppy asks King Peppy about the differences between the Tribes. Poppy asks if they are different like Legsly, Fuzzbert and Skyscraper and Peppy explains they are very different to even them.
Skyscraper would have been abducted along with most other Pop Trolls when Queen Barb's Rock Trolls attack and destroy Pop Village, then taken to Volcano Rock City. There, he would have witnessed Barb Turning Branch into a Rock Zombie and then the Troll Tribe leaders of the Funk trolls, Country trolls, Techno trolls and Classical trolls also being transformed. When Barb turns her guitar on Poppy, however, she manages to resist the effects of the Rock String by putting gumdrops in her ears.
Poppy smashes the Guitar to stop Barb but destroys all music in the process. The Trolls turn grey as they loose their music. This does not last long as the Trolls realize they can make music without the Strings now.
