Why can’t dragons be portal masters? Is it ever said in the skylanders canon, or is it your own thing? I ask because there’s a canon Mabu portal master, so we know that it’s at least not a human only thing.

In Weirdlanders, it’s a human only thing 😀 Or, was. May rework that later, but that was one of the original lore things that stuck with me about Skylanders. I liked the idea that humans were natural wizards in Skylands (which was why the Kurosian Gods banished a great deal of them because having TOO many powerful beings was too dangerous, especially since humans are also naturally greedy and unable to handle such power as a mass). 

Havok might just not have enough in him to be able to be a portal master, but Hysteria is one despite being a halfling too.
