[[File:Skimmer (overhead icon).png|left|72px]]The [[Skimmer]] is one of the [[mount]]s found in the [[Crystal Desert]] in [[Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire|Path of Fire]]. It is a manta-like creature with undulating wings which hovers over ground, allowing it and its rider to safely traverse otherwise [[Environmental hazard|hazardous areas]], or to swiftly skim over water. Its movement ability lifts it significantly higher, so it can cross dangerous areas, reach ledges, and avoid attacks. You can hold down the hotkey to remain in the lifted state as long as you have sufficient endurance.

Upgrades to the skimmer mount increases the height of the hover movement ability, as well as add additional effects to its [[engage]] skill [[Barrel Roll]], such as granting [[boon]]s and healing [[downed]] allies when used.

== Unlocking ==
[[File:Skimmer banner.jpg|thumb|right|Skimmer unlock banner.]]
The Skimmer is unlocked at the [[Skimmer Ranch]] in the center-west area of [[Elon Riverlands]]. The ranch is surrounded by quicksand from the north and east, and a [[Raptor]] with [[Canyon Jumping ]] is required to jump through this hazard.

It is possible to reach this area through many other means, nevertheless, the required heart [[Use a skimmer to help with training around the ranch]] will not show up until you have trained the [[Canyon Jumping]] mastery.

Completing the [[Renown Heart]] allows you to unlock the mount by purchasing the [[Skimmer (item)|Skimmer]] from [[Skimmer Trainer Ardra]] for {{coin|40000}} and 50 {{item icon|Trade Contract}}s.

{{quotation|[https://www.guildwars2.com/en/path-of-fire/ The Skimmer]|Skimmers are graceful creatures native to the Elon River. They live above water, breathing through large air sacs as they float above the surface. While they cannot truly fly, they can hover for short distances at a height of several norn, making them indispensable for crossing large areas of treacherous quicksand or sulfur.}}

== Notes ==
* It is the only mount that can be mounted while surfaced in water.
* Does not take any fall damage, as it gently floats down to the ground rather than falling.
* If the float ability is used while jumping off a high outcropping, it will act as a glider until running out of endurance. This does not consume more endurance.
* The Skimmer regenerates its entire endurance bar in 5 seconds.
* Moves significantly faster while traveling over water or certain [[Environmental hazard|hazards]]: quicksand, sulfurous haze.

== Trivia ==
* While idle, the Skimmer will perform several animations:
** The Skimmer will poke your character on their back with its tail; your character will confusedly look around.
** The Skimmer will spin around in a full circle.
** The Skimmer will do a little waggle in air.
* When dyed, the whiskers and edges of the fins and tail get colored, as well as parts of the head and the underside of the fins.
* During the race in Amnoon, the children will comment on the skimmer mount:
** I love the skimmer. They're so floaty.
** I don't understand the skimmer. They don't even have legs!
* The Skimmer's theme is known as "Desert Skimming" in the Path of Fire [[soundtrack]].
