| 15 | * NightOfTheLivingMooks: Skeleton warrior army that inhabit the underworld. |
| 16 | * PullingThemselvesTogether: Skulkin are able to reassemble themselves after their bodies are broken apart. |
| 17 | * StarterVillain: Were the first true antagonists in the Ninjago series, but have now since been relegated to cameos and minor appearances at best in the present day of the series. |
| 18 | * WasOnceAMan: [[AllThereInTheManual According to supplementary material]], the Skulkin are born when fallen warriors who were unable to come to terms with their deaths arrive in the Underworld, becoming skeletal as a result. |

| 23 | ->'''Debut:''' "Way of the Ninja"\ |
| 24 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelKopsa |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The four-armed King of the Underworld. He was defeated by Lord Garmadon when he was banished to the Underworld, causing him to step down and allow Garmadon to control the legions of the Underworld. Samukai leads the Skulkin Army in the Surface World of Ninjago, carrying out Garmadon's orders and seeking the Golden Weapons of Spinjtizu. Once they were all in his possession, Samukai briefly attempted to overthrow Garmadon, only to be vaporized by the combined power of the weapons, and sent to the Cursed Realm. A few years later, his soul would briefly come to inhabit a museum replica of himself, as part of Sensei Yang's plan to resurrect himself on the Day of the Departed. |
| 27 | ---- |
| 28 | * BackFromTheDead: He is briefly resurrected in "Day of the Departed", acting as one of Sensei Yang's underlings and being sent to fight Jay. He is killed again by the end of the special. |
| 29 | * BigBadWannabe: He really wants to act like the biggest threat around in the world of Ninjago, but he's ultimately no match for Garmadon at all and gets tricked by the latter into getting himself killed as part of Garmadon's plans to control the Golden Weapons. |
| 30 | * TheCameo: He appears as a costume in the first episode of Skybound "Infamous". |
| 31 | * ConnectedAllAlong: It's implied by some dialogue that he and Pythor met at some point or the latter was aware of his existence. |
| 32 | * CoolHelmet: In the mini-movies, he was shown wearing Garmadon's helmet. It appears to be the crown of the King of the Underworld, as Garmadon takes it from him when he beats him. |
| 33 | * TheDragon: Leads the Skulkin and reports directly to Garmadon. |
| 34 | * {{Expy}}: He looks similar to General Grievous. He even has similar fighting moves and four arms. He also adapts some of the treacherous aspects of the general and tendency to use underhanded techniques to win his battles |
| 35 | * TheHeavy: The most active threat in the pilot episodes since Garmadon can't leave the Underworld. |
| 36 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: He has four arms and dismantles Kai in combat and even defeats Wu when they fight with the Golden Weapons. Though he's ultimately no match for Garmadon. |
| 37 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:When he tries to claim the Golden Weapons for himself, his body can't take the power and is vaporized]]. |
| 38 | * NothingPersonal: What he considers his fight with Jay in "Day of the Departed" as, as he was the only ninja left after all the other villains chose their targets. |
| 39 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His eyes are red and he is TheHeavy of the pilot episodes. |
| 40 | * TheStarscream: Desires to overthrow Garmadon and reclaim his spot as King of The Underworld. [[spoiler:And it fails horribly, ending with him being ''vaporized''.]] |
| 41 | * StarterVillain: He's the main antagonist of the pilot movie and it's his actions that first bring the Ninja together, but ultimately [[spoiler:he winds up biting the dust by the end of the special.]] |
| 42 | * VillainForgotToLevelGrind: More of a case of "couldn't level grind even if he wanted to" but his tactics and power are no match for the experienced Jay in "Day of the Departed" and he has to resort to having his Skulkin minions hold his parents hostage to gain the upper hand. After Ronin takes out the Skullkin, Jay defeats him in one attack. |

| 48 | ->'''Debut:''' "Way of the Ninja"\ |
| 49 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrianDrummond |
| 50 | |
| 51 | A duo of dull-witted Skullkins who served under Samukai as the Lightning and Earth Skeleton Generals respectively. Following Samukai's demise, Kruncha, who was previously second-in-command, became the new King of the Underworld. Eventually the two skeletons would leave the Underworld together, looking to adapt to life in Ninjago. |
| 52 | ---- |
| 53 | * BumblingHenchmenDuo: A pair of comical henchmen contrasting their more serious superiors, Samukai and Garmadon. |
| 54 | * ButtMonkey: Suffer all forms of AmusingInjuries and humilliation in all their appearances. |
| 55 | * DumbMuscle: Nuckal is a strong fighter but utterly lacking in the smarts department. In the short story "The Choice", Zane manages to convince Nuckal that he was never there by telling him that Nuckal was just remembering a funny joke Samukai (who was ''dead'' at this point) told him earlier. The fact that he actually thought [[NoSenseOfHumor Zane's joke was funny]] highlights his gullibility. |
| 56 | * HowDoIShotWeb: In "The New Masters of Spinjitzu", they manage to steal the Golden Weapons from the Ninja while they're asleep. They end up being so incapable of using them, hurting themselves in the process of simply trying to walk out of the monastery, that they decide things aren't going to work out and return the Weapons. |
| 57 | * PsychoElectro: Normally Nuckal's more stupid than insane/sadistic, but has a habit of mad cackling and enjoys nothing more than smashing things. Bonus points for Nuckal's primary element in the Spinjitzu spinner game being ShockAndAwe. |
| 58 | * RecurringExtra: By the time of the 2012 episodes, they stopped being relevant but pop up every now and then. |
| 59 | * ShellShockedVeteran: Kruncha and Nuckal become this with their frequent battle cry of "retreat", whenever the Ninja encounter them in Season 1. |
| 60 | * StraightMan: Kruncha acts like this for Nuckal, being more down-to-earth and embarrassed by Nuckal's wacky antics. |
| 61 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: In Season 4 they were put into jail, but are never seen in any following season, so it's unknown if they are still imprisoned or escaped/served their time. |

| 68 | |
| 69 | The fourth general of the Skulkin Army and its leader after the death of Samukai and the betrayal of Garmadon. |

| 73 | * DragonAscendant: Takes over Samukai's army after his death. |
| 74 | * IWasBeatenByAGirl: In one of the tie-in mini episodes, he and a small group of Skulkin soldiers try to attack Nya. After she beats them all, he tells his soldiers not to mention this defeat to anyone. |
| 75 | * AnIcePerson: In the spinners, he's the Skulkin general of ice. |
| 76 | * MeaningfulName: Wyplash is a villain using a whip/lash. |
| 77 | * OutofFocus: He's far less prominent than the other Skulkin generals, not appearing in the pilot movie and mostly being relegated to cameos. |
| 78 | * VillainOfAnotherStory: It is revealed in Season 6 that Wyplash has been arrested offscreen, most likely by the ninjas. However, we don't know when or how this happened. |

| 103 | ->'''Debut:''' "The Invitation"\ |
| 104 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/IanJamesCorlett |
| 105 | |
| 106 | An old master who organizes a tournament for the descendants of the elemental masters. He convinces the Ninja to participate as he knows the whereabouts of the supposedly deceased Zane. |
| 107 | ---- |
| 108 | * AbusiveParent: He's a terrible father to Skylor, showing no real concern for her well-being, and treating her as nothing more than a pawn for his plans. |
| 109 | * AllYourPowersCombined: Via the Staff of Elements, he is capable of absorbing all the elements for his own usage, with the only main elements he doesn't have being Time, Water, and Wind. However, he only uses some of these on screen, those being [[AnIcePerson Ice]], [[SuperSmoke Smoke]], [[GreenThumb Nature]], and [[ExtraOreDinary Metal]]. |
| 110 | * ArcVillain: Of Season 4. His goal is to steal the powers of the Elemental Masters so he could perform a spell that would turn him and his followers into Anacondrai so he could invade and conquer Ninjago. |
| 111 | * ArchEnemy: Becomes this to Kai, due to him being the main antagonist of the first season with Kai as the focus character. |
| 112 | * AttentionWhore: Chen can't stand it when anyone other than him is the center of attention and will try everything in his power to get back his spotlight. |
| 113 | * BackFromTheDead: Was temporarily resurrected in "Day of the Departed", but returned to the Departed Realm upon being defeated by Kai and Nya. |
| 114 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: He brings a lot of funny moments to the series and is overall the most comedic antagonist so far, but he's still evil and was the architect of the Serpentine-Human War that led to countless tragedies while feeling no remorse for his actions and nearly won requiring Garmadon to sacrifice himself to stop his plans. |
| 115 | * CollectorOfTheStrange: Is also a collector of many artifacts and oddities, including a scale from the Great Devourer, Captain Soto's peg leg, a cog from the Celestial Clock, and Zane's pink gi ([[AllThereInTheManual supplementary materials]] revealing that he got the last one by getting one of his minions to secretly switch it out with a white one while Lloyd was washing it). |
| 116 | * DesecratingTheDead: [[AllThereInTheManual Supplementary materials]] reveal that his hat and the Jadeblades are made from the bones of dead Anacondrai, which he obtained from raiding their tombs. [[spoiler:One more reason that the Anacondrai generals have to be displeased with him for.]] |
| 117 | * DraggedOffToHell: [[spoiler:His ultimate fate. Garmadon brings back the Anacondrai generals, who drag Chen and his cultists into the Cursed Realm.]] |
| 118 | * ElementalAbsorption: The Staff of Elements does a form of this, stealing the elemental powers of those who lose in his tournament. |
| 119 | * EvilIsHammy: He is definitely this. |
| 120 | * EvilIsPetty: Part of his motivation for stealing the Elemental Masters' powers is because he wasn't born with any and was told in his youth that he would amount to nothing. Plus, in general, he's just kind of a jerk. |
| 121 | * EvilMentor: To Garmadon, decades ago. |
| 122 | * EvilRedhead: Flashbacks show his hair used to be red when he mentored Garmadon and Clouse. |
| 123 | * {{Expy}}: To Shang Tsung from the first ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' game, as an old sorcerer who brings warriors in a sailboat to his island, to fight in a tournament for his own evil goals. |
| 124 | * ForTheEvulz: He started the first Serpentine war pretty much solely because he was bored. |
| 125 | * GreenEyedMonster: He is jealous of those born with powers, which is why he set up the tournament so he could steal others' powers for himself. |
| 126 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: Dies after getting one of his own missiles deflected back at him by Nya in ''Day of the Departed''. |
| 127 | * ItsAllAboutMe: Chen only cares about himself, anyone he is nice or friendly with is merely a pawn to be used and discarded when he no longer needs them. His "worship" of the Anacondrai is skin-deep, only caring about how powerful they are and how their abilities could give him some of that power. |
| 128 | * ItsPersonal: Seems to have built up quite the grudge against Kai and Nya in "Day of the Departed", presumably due to their respective roles in his first defeat. |
| 129 | * {{Jerkass}}: Does not go one second without belittling his henchmen. |
| 130 | * LaughablyEvil: Without a doubt the single most comedic main antagonist in the series, even if he still is a threat. |
| 131 | * ManipulativeBastard: He stoked hostilities between the humans and Serpentine, pushing them into an all-out war for his own benefit. |
| 132 | * PsychopathicManchild: "Maturity" is not a word in Chen's dictionary, as he frequently insults his guests and cultists and throws a tantrum when his attempts to cheat are exposed. |
| 133 | * ReptilesAreAbhorrent: He and his men have a snake motif or, more specifically, an Anacondrai motif. Which is fitting as he sided with the Serpentine during the war against them. Averted later when it's revealed he played both sides hoping they will destroy one another and lies to make sure peace could never happen. His desire to become an Anacondrai is purely physical, as he scoffs at their more noble traits and culture. |
| 134 | * SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: He wears a funky snake-bone hat. [[spoiler:Which hides the fact he has red hair like Skylor.]] |
| 135 | * StupidEvil: Has the ability to steal and use elemental powers with his staff, but only uses it to turn himself and his cultists into Anacondrai copies. |
| 136 | * VileVillainSaccharineShow: Somewhat {{inverted|Trope}}. Ninjago is a fairly dark series despite having the Lego aesthetic, yet Chen is without a doubt the most comedic main antagonist in the series in spite of still being a threat. |

Garmadon not only ends up escaping but also pushes him in instead. [[spoiler:He also ends up imprisoned in the Teapot of Tyrahn by the very Djinn he freed from it.]] |

| 242 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: He's a very skilled fighter and has complete mastery over his elemental powers, although it alongside his desire to be the Green Ninja ended up giving him a rather large ego. To say he didn't take finding out that he wasn't the Green Ninja very well is an understatement. |
| 243 | -->'''Morro:''' You think you're better than me!? NO ONE IS BETTER THAN ME! |
| 244 | * APupilOfMineUntilHeTurnedToEvil: He was Wu's first student until he became arrogant and power-hungry when he believed he could be the Green Ninja. When the Gold Weapons didn't respond to him as they would for Lloyd, Morro became furious with Wu and set out on his own to prove him and destiny wrong. |
| 245 | * BackFromTheDead: Was temporarily resurrected in "Day of the Departed", but willingly returned to the Departed Realm after helping the Ninja. |
| 246 | * BarredFromTheAfterlife: He was trapped in the Cursed Realm, rather than the Departed Realm after he died. |
| 247 | * BerserkButton: Destiny. More specifically, destiny proving that he is unworthy of being the Green Ninja. |
| 248 | * BlowYouAway: The Elemental Master of Wind. |
| 249 | * TheChosenWannabe: His desire to be the Green Ninja is what made him a vengeful ghost. [[spoiler:He eventually gets over it though and is able to reconcile with Wu.]] |
| 250 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:Although it's closer to "Being un-barred from the Afterlife Equals Redemption", since he was already dead. When the Preeminent is performing a TakingYouWithMe on Morro, Wu tells Morro to [[TakeMyHand take his hand]]. Morro, realizing the error of his ways, refuses, and instead gives Wu the Realm Crystal, so Wu may bring back Lloyd. He also ends up being the TokenGoodTeammate of the Departed Souls in Day of the Departed.]] |
| 251 | * DemonicPossession: Spends most of the arc in Lloyd's body. |
| 252 | * DragonInChief: Is the servant of the Preeminent, but she's still sealed away and thus her influence is limited. |
| 253 | * DyingAlone: The Ninja eventually find his former body in an abandoned mine. |
| 254 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[Franchise/KungFuPanda Tai Lung]] being a prestigious student of the BigGood who turned to evil upon being denied prestige he felt he deserved and turned evil as a result, with the added exception that he manages to redeem himself in the end. |
| 255 | * TheHeavy: He does all the work throughout Season 5. To start, he possesses Lloyd Garmadon, as only a Spinjitzu Master could locate the tomb. He then embarked on a quest, during which he used the Allied Armor of Azure to conjure allies from the Cursed Realm at will. After a long journey, Morro obtains the Crystal, and summons his master, the Preeminent, in an effort to curse the Sixteen Realms. |
| 256 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Dragged to his death by the very evil he unleashed.]] |
| 257 | * KnightOfCerebus: Directly contrasting against Chen, Morro's introductory episodes are much darker and more serious, and he's shown to be a far more serious threat, with absolutely ''no'' goofy elements to his actions whatsoever. |
| 258 | * LightIsNotGood: He's a power-hungry villain who gives a green glow. |
| 259 | * MyGreatestFailure: Is one for Wu. |
| 260 | * PaintItBlack: His possession turns Lloyd's hair black. |
| 261 | * PhosphorEssence: Glows an eerie green, traces of which even show through when he's possessing Lloyd. |
| 262 | * TheResenter: He's psychopathically resentful toward Lloyd for being the Green Ninja. |
| 263 | * ScrewDestiny: This is his primary flaw. Because his arrogance cost him the right to become the Green Ninja, he set out to prove both destiny and Master Wu wrong. |
| 264 | * ShadowArchetype: He's essentially what any of the Ninja could have become had they let their desire to be the Green Ninja consume them. More specifically, he's this to Kai, as the Red Ninja was the most vocal about wanting to be the Green Ninja and both of them have a similar HotBlooded streak and attitude, with the difference between them being that Kai managed to let go of the desire to get the title with time while Morro remained fixated. |
| 265 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:During the special "Day of the Departed", he's the only resuscitated villain who doesn't attack his target and instead helps the Ninja before willingly returning to the Departed Realm. He did go through his redemption already, so this isn't surprising.]] |

| 293 | ---- |
| 294 | * EvilCounterpart: To Zane: they both rely on ranged weaponry, generally act as the calmer and tactical of their group, and both have histories with Ronin; Ronin owes Soul Archer a debt, and likewise, Ronin was the one who brought Zane to Chen's island. This may have been a result of Morro's attempt to emulate Lloyd, the true Green Ninja. |

| 304 | |
| 305 | Ghoultar was one of the Ghost Warriors banished to the Cursed Realm and is potentially among some of its oldest prisoners, considering his clothes are worn away and his flesh had decayed enough to reveal the skull on his face. |
| 306 | ---- |
| 307 | * BigEater: Many of the ghosts are this, but Ghoultar is a stand-out example. He once ate enough to ''slow down'' the Ghost Warrior's ship, to Morro's frustration and confusion. |
| 308 | -->'''Morro:''' How are you slowing us down? You're a ''ghost''!\ |
| 309 | '''Ghoultar:''' Ghoultar likes Puffy Potstickers. |

| 335 | |
| 336 | The Preeminent (also called the Queen of the Cursed) was an eldritch horror who was the embodiment and thus the ruler of the Cursed Realm. |
| 337 | ---- |
| 338 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:For one episode, "The Kaiju Protocol", when Wu and P.I.X.A.L. resurrect her by accident.]] |
| 339 | * DimensionLord: Of the Cursed Realm, thus her title 'The Queen of the Cursed'. According to [[spoiler:Garmadon]], she ''is'' the Cursed Realm. Destroying her will destroy the realm as well. |
| 340 | * EldritchAbomination: Even more so of one than the Overlord - she's literally the Cursed Realm. |
| 341 | * GeniusLoci: A living, sentient dimension. |
| 342 | * GreaterScopeVillain: While the Ghost Warriors all answer to her, the Preeminent can't do anything herself due to being sealed away, and doesn't even make a proper physical appearance until the finale. |
| 343 | * HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: Is stated multiple times to be sentient and a cool-headed planner, and clearly communicates with Morro, but never speaks at all in the show, presumably to make her an even more foreign and mysterious presence. |
| 344 | * MeaningfulName: Her name generally means 'above others' or 'the supreme'. She's the ruler of the Cursed Realm, and one of the single largest threats in the series thus far. |
| 345 | * MultiversalConqueror: She wants to conquer all 16 realms. |
| 346 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: Is notably much less LEGO-like than the rest of the setting in her true form, making her EldritchAbomination nature all the more noticeable. |
| 347 | * RespawnPoint: Acts as this for her minions, being the Cursed Realm. |
| 348 | * SealedEvilInACan: Is imprisoned in another dimension. |

| 350 | * SuperDrowningSkills: How she meets her demise. |
| 351 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: She's one of the very few Ninjago villains to not actually have a set devoted to her, constructable or otherwise. An ancient EldritchAbomination with NonStandardCharacterDesign ''would'' be pretty hard to build. |
| 352 | * TheVoiceless: Never speaks a word throughout all her screen time. |
| 353 | * YourSoulIsMine: Implied. Morro mentions that she absorbs souls and it is said that she grows stronger and bigger with the more she has, but it's unknown if there are conditions to be met before she can suck them out of a person. |

| 372 | * ArcVillain: Of Season 6. He sets off to claim the Realm Crystal and reunite his crew. Likewise, he [[spoiler:plans to marry Nya so he can grant himself unlimited wishes, recreate Djinnjago and resurrect his deceased lover, Delara]]. |
| 373 | * AFatherToHisMen: [[spoiler:Subverted in the final episode of Season 6, "The Way Back".]] |
| 374 | * BeatItByCompulsion: One of Nadakhan's weaknesses is that he must grant every wish he hears, so long as the person wishing still has at least one wish left. |
| 375 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Despite being an ArcVillain, he genuinely seemed to love his father. |
| 376 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He genuinely is [[spoiler:distraught when he and his kingdom disappear]]. Also, Delara. |
| 377 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:When Jay wishes no one had found his teapot prison in the first place, Nadakhan is forced to grant it. And since Jay's words were specific, he has no way of twisting the wish.]] |
| 378 | * HookHand: Fitting for the captain of the Sky Pirates. |
| 379 | * ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:In "The Way Back", when he acquires infinite wishes after marrying Nya.]] |
| 380 | * JackassGenie: Besides the typical twisting of wishes into something harmful for the wisher, Nadakhan also hurries the wishers into having the third wish and then traps them inside the lamp, and later the sword. |
| 381 | * LastOfHisKind: [[spoiler:Presumably after Djinjago falls with the Cursed Realm, making him the last Djinn. ''Dragons Rising'' reveals there is another, Arrakore]]. |
| 382 | * TheLostLenore: Delara is this to him. |
| 383 | * ManipulativeBastard: Exploits the fears of the wishers in order to panic them into making a third wish so he can trap them. |
| 384 | * MultiArmedAndDangerous: He has four arms, but only three have hands at the end, the other having a hook. |
| 385 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: He frequently gets up in his victim's faces when taunting them, or pressuring them to make a wish. It's particularly evident with Jay and Nya. |
| 386 | * OhCrap: Has this when he realizes [[spoiler:Jay's final wish is one he cannot twist to his benefit.]] |
| 387 | * SealedEvilInACan: He was trapped inside the Teapot of Tyrahn by Soto and was freed by Clouse. After Jay's wish cause the events of Skybound to be undone, he is once again trapped inside the Teapot of Tyrahn. |
| 388 | * StoryBreakerPower: After he gains infinite wishes, Nadakhan proves almost impossible to stop. It takes a sniper shot of the only substance he is explicitly weak to and that eventually wears off just to slow him down. Said substance is fatal to humans. His only other weakness is that he is still forced to grant wishes, and he's [[spoiler:sealed away via a CosmicRetcon]] just so the Ninja don't have to fight him again. |
| 389 | * TragicVillain: He found out his lover is dead and had to watch his father and home realm die in rapid succession. He understandably went mad with grief. |

| 401 | * TheBusCameBack: Returns in the could-be canon novel ''The Splinter In The Blind Man's Eye''. |
| 402 | * ChekhovsGunman: In a sense. Clancee offhandedly mentions that he is the only one out of the crew to have never wished for anything from Nadakhan, which the djinn eventually takes advantage of to help deal with the remaining ninja. |
| 403 | * DisproportionateRetribution: [[spoiler:He finds himself on the receiving end of this, when gets banished to another dimension for simply mouthing off to Nadakhan.]] |

| 505 | ---- |
| 506 | * TheAce: They're pretty great fighters. It took all of the previous Elemental Masters and four blades made from Chronosteel to remove their powers to stop them. |
| 507 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Both are extremely arrogant fighters and time manipulators, something noted in the story. They themselves call their enemies out on this trope on occasion. |
| 508 | * BadBoss: [[spoiler:Once they decide Machia is no longer useful to them, they end up forcing the snakes that compose her to power the Iron Doom. Apparently, their mistreatment of the Vermillion in general ended up being enough for the Serpentine to decide to sit out the conflict between the Ninja and Garmadon during the Oni Trilogy.]] |
| 509 | * BashBrothers: Naturally. [[{{Pun}} They're even actual twin brothers.]] |
| 510 | * BadassCape: They wear green capes and are incredible fighters. |
| 511 | * BigBadDuumvirate: The twins are the main villains of Season 7 and plan on ruling Ninjago together. |
| 512 | * BladeBelowTheShoulder: The Time Blades. |
| 513 | * BrainsAndBrawn: Krux is the Brains and Acronix is the Brawn. |
| 514 | * BroughtDownToBadass: The two don't have their Time Powers anymore but that doesn't stop them from being extremely capable fighters. Wu even admitted Acronix is one of the best fighters he's ever seen. |
| 515 | * CoordinatedClothes: PlayedStraight, {{Subverted}}, and {{Inverted}} Their outfits are exactly alike except inverted, especially in the past but later they both underwent; |
| 516 | * CostumeEvolution/ NonUniformUniform: Their outfits became more different over time. |
| 517 | ** Krux: Before they reunited, he began wearing an hourglass with a chain attached on his left torso and right leg, showing he prefers a low-tech life and appreciates the past, and the coloration became much darker and faded due to his being older than Acronix's. |
| 518 | ** Acronix: As of "Scavengers", he wears a phone with green earbuds on his right torso and left shoulder along with having a Borg-Watch on his left wrist, showing his love and appreciation for technology in contrast to his brother's disdain for it. |
| 519 | * {{DePower}}: They were stripped of their Time Powers via Chronosteel, which created the Time Blades. |
| 520 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: The Time Twins love each other very much despite getting on each other's nerves about their opposing views on technology (Acronix loves technology while Krux hates it). |
| 521 | * EvilLuddite: Krux endlessly complains about modern technology. This serves as a contrast to Acronix's love of modern technology. Acronix even told himself that their mother always said Krux is stubborn. |
| 522 | * ExoticEyeDesigns: Acronix and Krux's eyes are gold/hazel instead of black like the other characters and they each have a green and black tattoo surrounding their eyes. |
| 523 | * FacialMarkings: They have green and black tattoos around their eyes. |
| 524 | * FaceHeelTurn/ FallenHero: They helped the previous Elemental Masters defeat the Serpentine but then betrayed them. |
| 525 | * FamilyEyeResemblance: They're twin brothers who have gold/hazel eyes instead of the usual black eye color everyone else has. |
| 526 | * FamilyThemeNaming: They have "X" at the end of their names and are named after digital file-sharing softwares use for processing the show. |
| 527 | * FateWorseThanDeath: Both are stranded in the time stream on the powerless Iron Doom with no possible chance of escaping, [[spoiler:unlike Wu.]] |
| 528 | * {{Foil}}: To several characters: |
| 529 | ** To each other. See PolarOppositeTwins below; |
| 530 | ** Kai and Nya: Both are SiblingTeam Elemental Masters with opposite powers of their sibling's, but Kai and Nya are heroes with different Elements (Fire for Kai and Water for Nya while the Time Twins are villains with the same Element (Time: Reverse and Pause for Krux, Forward, and Slow-Mo for Acronix) |
| 531 | *** Krux to Kai: Both are older brothers and not as fond of technology as their younger siblings. Kai's is more of a dislike but [[{{Pun}} warmed]] up to technology, Krux ''hates'' technology to the point of wanting to go back in time to remove technology from Ninjago entirely, but reluctantly agreed with Acronix it has its uses. |
| 532 | *** Acronix to Nya: Both are the younger siblings and adore technology and [[spoiler: separate from their older brothers' lives.]] Acronix was lost in time for 40 years to follow the Time Blades to rule Ninjago only to reunite with Krux, [[spoiler:Nya had to permanently merge with the sea to save Ninjago and had to leave the Ninja.]] Nya had experienced and always loved technology, even build numerous inventions. Acronix had just discovered, yet instantly loved, the technological advancements he missed out on, he's more interested in technological gadgets and using them. |
| 533 | ** Wu and Garmadon; Both SiblingTeam Elemental Masters with opposite powers of their sibling. |
| 534 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Krux's Responsible to Acronix's Foolish. While Acronix is busy fiddling with his Borg-Watch and indulging in his love and curiosity in other forms of technology, Krux is the one formulating plans. |
| 535 | * GreenAndMean: They both sport a green cape and green tattoos on their faces, with Acronix wearing green ear buds from "Scavengers" onwards. Both of them also are SiblingsInCrime who want to rule Ninjago. |
| 536 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: Flashbacks show that the Time Twins looked exactly alike with key differences; |
| 537 | ** Acronix has long hair, and Krux has short hair. |
| 538 | ** Their outfits are inverted versions of the others. |
| 539 | ** Krux wears his cape over his right shoulder, and Acronix wears his cape over his left shoulder. |
| 540 | ** Acronix has a beard, and Krux has a mustache. |
| 541 | * LimitedWardrobe: They are never seen outside their uniforms. They both underwent CostumeEvolution though. |
| 542 | ** The only time Krux doesn't wear his uniform is when he's Dr. Saunders. |
| 543 | * MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight: The twins want to change the past so they can rule Ninjago together. |
| 544 | * MeaningfulName/ IronicName: Acronix and Krux are named after digital file-sharing software use for processing the show; |
| 545 | ** Acronix is named after Acronis and later developed a liking for technology and modern life. |
| 546 | ** Krux is named after Crux but hates technology and modern life. The word 'crux' means "a climactic or decisive moment". |
| 547 | * PersonalityPowers: Their personalities correspond to their powers; |
| 548 | ** Acronix had the ability to go forward and slow down time, loves modern technology, is quite expressive but is open-minded, excitable, and calm when necessary, and does not seem to want to go back to the old ways in life but willingly go through with it for Krux. |
| 549 | ** Krux had the ability to reverse and pause time, hates modern technology, is quite calm but is stubborn, grumpy, and rather short-tempered if the right buttons are pressed, and is trying to return Ninjago to the old ways in life, but admits to Acronix that technology has its uses every now and then. |
| 550 | * PetTheDog: Despite their cruelty, they genuinely love each other, and never once do they try to betray or sabotage each other. If one of them is at a disadvantage, the other will do their best to get to the other's aid. |
| 551 | ** Another example is they at least tolerate and respect the other's opinions, tastes, and views, even if they drive the other one crazy: |
| 552 | *** Acronix: It's clear he prefers modern life but is willing to return to pre-modern life for Krux, although he ''does'' try to get Krux to not be so stubborn about modern tech. He also has made very helpful suggestions to Krux to achieve success which works quite well. |
| 553 | *** Krux: Even though he hates modern life and technology, he at least tolerates his brother's love for such and reluctantly agreed technology has uses when Acronix uses his Borg-Watch to find the remaining Time Blades. He also was willing to travel far into the future after they failed to change the past and Acronix pointed out the advantages of traveling into the future. |
| 554 | * PolarOppositeTwins: At first glance, they're very similar, but as the show goes on, it's clear just how different they have become. |
| 555 | ** Krux is old, has been around for four decades waiting for his twin, hates modern technology but admits its uses, and at least tolerates his brother's love for what he hates, his powers were Reverse and Pause; which are copper/yellow and red, the brains and calmer of the two but can definitively fight on his own even without his powers, specifically when he fought Kai. |
| 556 | ** Acronix is young, has traveled four decades into the future, loves modern technology but is willing to return the old ways in life for Krux but not without trying to get him to like technology while tolerating his brother's hatred, his powers were Forward and Slo-Mo; which are green and blue, and the excitable and brawn of the two but was able to understand technology within few days after his return, and is quite adaptive, especially in battle. |
| 557 | ** In the past, their outfits are even inverted versions of each other. In the present, they underwent different CostumeEvolution: |
| 558 | ** Krux's outfit is darker and more faded in coloration since it's four decades old and has an hourglass with a chain on his left torso and right leg, but was already there when Acronix returned, and his cape drapes over his right shoulder. Krux's hair is white (formally black) and short has a mustache. He has a pocket watch which is rarely seen outside his disguise. |
| 559 | ** Acronix's outfit is brighter and more vibrant in coloration just like it was in the past since he traveled four decades in the future and thus did not fade, and later has a phone with green earbuds on his right torso and left shoulder, and his cape drapes over his left shoulder. His hair is long and black and has a beard. He has a smartwatch which is constantly seen on his wrist. |
| 560 | ** Even their speech patterns are different. |
| 561 | *** When Krux was masquerading as Dr. Saunders, he had to pull [[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent a weird accent]] and talked rather casually and ''weirdly'' but politely, only to drop it and reveal that his real speech pattern is quite formal and kind of rude to anyone who isn't Acronix. |
| 562 | *** Acronix's is like his brother's, but is more SophisticatedAsHell and sometimes {{Metaphorgotten}}. |
| 563 | *** However, Acronix and Krux ''do'' have things in common; their affiliation, the fact they are twins, their FacialMarkings and [[SupernaturalGoldEyes hazel eye color]], their belief their Element is the strongest, their goal to rule Ninjago together, and they are (powerless) [[TimeMaster Masters of Time.]] |
| 564 | * RedOniBlueOni: A rather interesting case. |
| 565 | ** Acronix is Red; He is more expressive and battle oriented than Krux. But unlike Krux, he's more open-minded about modern life, calm when necessary, more submissive, and laid back. |
| 566 | ** Krux is Blue; He's calmer and more strategic than Acronix. But unlike Acronix, he's more stubborn, has a short temper, and is more controlling and uptight. |
| 567 | *** It's inverted with the colors of their powers; Krux's is yellow (Reverse) and red (Pause), Acronix's is green (Foward) and blue (slow motion). |
| 568 | * SiblingTeam/ SiblingsInCrime: They're villainous twin brothers and they work together to reach their goals. |
| 569 | * SpockSpeak: They talk rather formally, right to the point of calling each other "Brother" instead of the other's name and vice versa. |
| 570 | ** Acronix however is more SophisticatedAsHell since the way he talks is a mix of modern and traditional speech with a touch of BluntMetaphorsTrauma/ {{Metaphorgotten}}. |
| 571 | ** When Krux was masquerading as Dr. Saunders, he had to pull WhatTheHellIsThatAccent and talked rather casually and ''weirdly'' but politely, only to drop it and reveal that his real speech pattern is quite formal and kind of rude to anyone who isn't Acronix. |
| 572 | * SupernaturalGoldEyes: The Hands of Time have hazel/gold eyes and can/did manipulate Time. |
| 573 | * SymbolMotifClothing: They have gear and clock Time symbols on their hoods and the center of their shirts |
| 574 | * TimeMaster: ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: |
| 575 | ** In Krux's case, he can pause time to stop opponents or reverse time to know his opponent's next move. |
| 576 | ** In Acronix's case, he can travel forward to avoid opponents and attack them from behind or create a bubble that can slow down anyone or anything inside. |
| 577 | * TeethClenchedTeamwork: {{Subverted}}. Krux and Acronix get along pretty well but thanks to their differences, they get on each other's nerves. |
| 578 | * ThemeTwinNaming: Along with Acronix and Krux being named after digital file-sharing software used for processing the show, they both have "X" at the end of their names. |
| 579 | * TimeIsDangerous |
| 580 | * TwinDesynch: Thanks to Acronix being outside of time for four decades, the two brothers have a ''huge'' age difference, which resulted in them not exactly have as many things in common or get along as they use to. |
| 581 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:Krux and Acronix are sent hurtling through the timeline in the Iron Doom, which Wu survived, leaving it possible that they may also have survived. "Golden Hour" (an ambiguously canon short) shows Wu and the Time Twins fighting, which ends with Wu deactivating the Iron Doom, leaving their weapon powerless and them possibly stranded in the time stream forever.]] |
| 582 | * UndyingLoyalty: Even when one of them had to make it to the current day [[TheSlowPath through]] the natural passage of time and despite their constantly disagreeing over whether the modern day or the past is better, Acronix and Krux never once try to abandon each other. |
| 583 | %%* UnusualEyebrows |
| 584 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler:It's unknown what became of them after getting lost in time in the finale, but given how Wu survived and returned, it's possible they also returned, but in parts unknown. The possible canon short "Golden Hour" suggests the brothers are now stranded in the timestream on a powerless Iron Doom.]] |

| 589 | ->'''Debut:''' "Dark Island Trilogy, Part 3"\ |
| 590 | '''Voiced by:''' Ian Hanlin |
| 591 | |
| 592 | The younger Time Twin, (3 minutes chronologically, 40 years biologically) who was trapped in the time vortex for 40 years. He is absolutely fascinated with modern technology. He was able to either speed up or slow down time before his powers were taken away. |
| 593 | ---- |
| 594 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: He at times irritates his brother Krux, who really hates modern technology, with his love for it, and is much younger than him. (Originally 3 minutes, but now biologically four decades younger.) |
| 595 | * BluntMetaphorsTrauma/ {{Metaphorgotten}}: According to Krux, he has a habit of making up sayings. The first time was "The Hands of Time", and the second was "Lost in Time". |
| 596 | * BornInTheWrongCentury: He was born decades ago, but later grew to love modern-day life, much to Krux's annoyance. (Un)fortunately for him, he was able to travel to the future, (the present) and gets to experience modern technology and even suggested going ''further into the future'' instead of the past when he and his brother had to time travel in "Lost in Time". It's heavily {{implied}} that, despite saying otherwise and unlike his brother, he much rather continue living in the future rather than use TimeTravel to bring Ninjago back to the way it was before technology. |
| 597 | * BuffySpeak: Unless it's a Borg-Watch or a Borg-Pad, Acronix doesn't know the proper names for modern gadgets. {{Justified|Trope}} since he's been outside time for 40 years. |
| 598 | * CompressedHair: He has rather long hair to the point of having to tie most back in a low ponytail and leave some on his shoulders, but somehow manages to fit all his hair in his outfit's hood. |
| 599 | * EasilyImpressed: When it comes to modern technology, it doesn't matter how mundane it is. He even thinks a commercial is cool. {{Justified}} since he is from four decades from the past, before Ninjago became advanced, and thus never seen anything like modern technological gadgets and advancements up until now. Krux is extremely annoyed by this. |
| 600 | * EmergencyTemporalShift: One of his powers was the ability to travel forward in time to dodge opponents. |
| 601 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Having been lost in the time vortex for 40 years, he's a bit behind on modern technology. However, he is absolutely fascinated by it. |
| 602 | * TheFutureIsShocking: Both PlayedStraight and {{inverted}}; he is adapted quickly to present life and unlike his brother, he is absolutely amazed with how advanced Ninjago has become. |
| 603 | * GeniusBruiser: He can definitively hold out on his own in battle and it didn't take him long time for him to figure out how to use technology despite being lost in time for four decades. |
| 604 | * HiddenDepths: |
| 605 | ** He's able to adapt to modern times very quickly and understand technology within a few days. |
| 606 | ** He has had rather smart ideas that can benefit the team. One was using his smart-watch, which has a temporal scanner, to find the remaining Time Blades and told Krux instead of going further in the past, (which could potentially erase them from existence), he suggested going further in the future since no one would recognize them and the Ninja would be dead. |
| 607 | * IconicItem: Since "Scavengers", his Borg-Watch is this and is never seen off his left wrist, even in battle. It's also his favorite piece of technology. |
| 608 | ** The Foward Time Blade counts too since he always uses it for battle to avoid opponents and sneak attacks. |
| 609 | * {{Irony}}: He was outside time for four decades but adapted to modern life quickly, to the point of suggesting going further into the future, but his brother was around the whole time and hates modern life to the point of wanting to return to pre-modern life via time travel. |
| 610 | ** The reason why Acronix loves modern technology so much is because Krux has modern gadgets in his lair that he needed for their goal and instantly took a liking to technology. Is it any wonder why Krux was getting more annoyed with his little brother's obsession with technology? |
| 611 | * LikeADuckTakesToWater: He has adapted quite well to future life and finds excitement in seeing the newest technological advancements made by the modern world, unlike his brother Krux who has been around for decades and hates it. |
| 612 | * LiteralMinded: When Kai sarcastically points out that even though he and Krux are twins, one of them looks much older, Acronix reveals that Krux was born three minutes earlier than him. It's hard to tell if Acronix is ComicallyMissingThePoint or being sarcastic. |
| 613 | * MundaneObjectAmazement: Acronix becomes amazed over all kinds of technology and inventions, even as simple as a commercial for the new Borg-Watch or a calculator. |
| 614 | * NightmareFetishist: He told Krux he likes Machia since she's mean. Cue Krux teasingly saying he has a crush, which Acronix denies but admits she's cute despite [[TheWormThatWalks her literally being a pile of snakes]]. (Although, twice Machia freaked him out with her aggressive behavior). |
| 615 | * SealedEvilInACan: After he escaped from the Elemental Masters along with his brother, he was deposited further into the future than his brother was. When he finally arrives at the monastery as predicted, Krux reveals he had been waiting for him all those years so they could enact their plan together. |
| 616 | * ShipTease: Mentions that he finds General Machia cute and likes how she's mean. Never mind the fact that [[TheWormThatWalks she's literally a living pile of snakes]]. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d by Krux, of course, who is as confused as we all are over the fact. |
| 617 | * SignatureMove: With the Forward Time Blade, he can perform the Time Punch--a time power-infused punch which ages people until they die. |
| 618 | * SlowMotion: One of his powers was the ability to create a bubble that can temporarily slow anyone or anything inside. |
| 619 | * SophisticatedAsHell: Like Krux, his speech pattern is rather formal even to his brother, but the way he talks has a mix of modern speech after returning. |
| 620 | * {{Unishment}}: He got lost in time and ended up four decades into the future, but as it turns out he prefers modern life because of all the amazing new technology he never experienced beforehand compared to the life he used to have. |
| 621 | * YearOutsideHourInside: |
| 622 | ** He travelled 40 years into the future but he did not age while his brother did. |
| 623 | ** His SlowMotion power allows him to create a bubble that slows anything or anyone down inside. |

| 630 | ->'''Debut:''' "Day of the Departed"\ |
| 631 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelDaingerfield |
| 632 | |
| 633 | The older Time Twin (3 minutes chronologically, 40 years biologically) who is introduced as an ally to the Ninja in "Day of the Departed" until Season 7 has him spring his plan into action. He is annoyed with modern technology and sees it as inferior to the past. He was able to either reverse or stop time before his powers were taken away. |
| 634 | ---- |
| 635 | * AloofOlderBrother: He can be like this to Acronix at times, especially when Acronix is involved with technology and is much older than him (Originally 3 minutes, but now four decades older). |
| 636 | * AntiquatedLinguistics: The way he talks is rather old-fashioned, and he calls Acronix "Brother" instead of his name and vice versa. |
| 637 | * BadassBookworm: He is intelligent and can put up a fight despite his age. |
| 638 | * BerserkButton: Modern life and technology. He ''really'' hates how modern life and technology "ruined" Ninjago and is planning to go back in time so Ninjago will remain low-tech. Unfortunately for him, Acronix developed an ''extreme'' love for what he hates, which is the main cause of their bickering. |
| 639 | * BigStupidDoodooHead: Krux fires one at Kai in "A Time of Traitors". Quite the [[LameComeback lame comeback]] |
| 640 | -->'''Krux:''' Well, aren't you clever. Such a smart little ninja. |
| 641 | * EvilAllAlong: He is introduced as an ally to the Ninja in "Day of the Departed", but turns out to be a villain all along in Season 7. |
| 642 | * EvilIsPetty: |
| 643 | ** In "The Hatching", he orders the first Vermillion Warrior to destroy Cyrus Borg's new store just before he kidnaps the inventor, purely because of his hatred of modern technology. |
| 644 | ** Lies to Kai about his parents being traitors for no given reason, other than apparently just to be a jerk. |
| 645 | * EvilOldFolks: He waited for forty years for his brother to catch up with him in time so that they could enact their evil plan together. |
| 646 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: He's always had short hair but the hairstyle he had in the past was at chin-length and had swept-back bangs. After he went into hiding and started going as his Dr. Saunders persona, he changed to his current hairstyle. |
| 647 | * EyeColourChange: As Dr. Saunders, he has the same black eyes as everyone. When he removes the disguise, his natural eye color is actually hazel. |
| 648 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He puts on an act of being polite and well-mannered but is rather cruel and evil to anyone that isn't his brother. |
| 649 | * GrumpyOldMan: Is much grumpier than Acronix, especially when they argue about technology. |
| 650 | * NiceCharacterMeanActor: When he was acting as his persona Dr. Saunders, he pretended to be a somewhat eccentric but very cheerful and kind museum curator who is friends with the Ninja. But as soon as Acronix returns and the two meet up, he immediately dropped the act and showed his TRUE personality; a cruel person to anyone who isn't his brother, a ''very'' cunning, strategic, and capable warrior, who wants to rid Ninjago of modern technology and rule Ninjago alongside Acronix. |
| 651 | * NostalgiaFilter: Krux ''despises'' modern technology, to the point of using his first Vermillion Warrior to wreck Cyrus Borg's store [[EvilIsPetty because he hated the tech he makes]], and hates television, with much of his desire to rewrite time being to bring things back to before modern Ninjago along with controlling it. He does irritably concede that modern technology can have its uses when Acronix argues in its favor, though. |
| 652 | * NotSoAboveItAll: He has his moments: |
| 653 | ** In " The Hatching", he ordered the Vermilion Warriors to destroy a technology store first just because he hates technology. |
| 654 | ** In " A Line in the Sand" he teases Acronix for saying that he likes General Machia by saying he has a crush on her. Later, he was all giddy when it seemed Raggmunk and Blunck got the Slo-Mo Time Blade. |
| 655 | * PaperThinDisguise: His outfit for his persona, Dr. Sander Saunders, is a different set of clothes, a different hairstyle, a fake mustache, fake glasses, contact lenses to hide his real eye color, and make-up to cover his FacialMarkings. However, no one, (except Acronix or when he takes his disguise off willfully), figured out who he was until he accidentally tripped and his fake mustache fell off. |
| 656 | * PurelyAestheticGlasses: When he's masquerading as Dr. Saunders, he wears non-prescription glasses but takes them off when he does not need to be in disguise. As he doesn't wear glasses outside of his disguise, it's clear his eyesight is perfectly fine, and doesn't need them. |
| 657 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: He poses as the meek and eccentric Dr. Saunders, but he's actually a cunning warrior and strategist. |
| 658 | * RepetitiveName: His alias '''Sander''' '''Sa'''u'''nder'''s. |
| 659 | * TimeRewindMechanic: He was able to rewind time so he can know his opponent's next move. |
| 660 | * TimeStandsStill: One of his powers was the ability to freeze people in place |
| 661 | * WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: His Dr. Saunders voice is...''odd'', to say the least. |

| 670 | A gang of criminal bikers seeking the Oni Masks so they can resurrect their idol Lord Garmadon. |
| 671 | ---- |
| 672 | * AllBikersAreHellsAngels: They have a biker motif with Oni imagery added in for good measure. |
| 673 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: The Sons of Garmadon want to raise Garmadon from the dead as a being of evil so they can rule Ninjago at his side. Garmadon ends up becoming a BadBoss to them all once he's brought back without his positive qualities, which slowly disillusions the Quiet One. |
| 674 | * BackForTheFinale: All of them end up returning in Season 15, with [[spoiler:Harumi]] and Mr. E working with the Crystal King, and Ultra Violet and Killow being part of the resistance. |
| 675 | * BlackShirt: An entire faction of these. They idolize Lord Garmadon as a villain and wish to resurrect him without his positive qualities, so they can rule Ninjago alongside him. |
| 676 | * DwindlingParty: Only two (Ultra Violet and Killow) of the High Command's members came out alive of Season 9. |
| 677 | * LoonyFan: Of Lord Garmadon, they want to resurrect him so as to let him conquer Ninjago. |
| 678 | * MeaningfulName: All of them wield these; |
| 679 | ** The Leader of the group is referred to as TheQuietOne, which is revealed to be because of [[spoiler:how she was like after the Great Devourer killed her parents]]. |
| 680 | ** Mr. E's true identity besides being [[spoiler:a Nindroid]] is a mystery. |
| 681 | ** Ultra Violet's main color is purple, which violet is a shade of. Her name also sounds a bit like Ultra Violent, referencing her AxCrazy nature. |
| 682 | ** Killow's nickname literally is [[TheBigGuy the Big Man]], referencing how he's the biggest human character in the whole series. His name also sounds like a kilo, which is a large amount of something (i.e. kilometer). |
| 683 | * MookCarryover: [[spoiler: After escaping from Kryptarium Prison, most of the gang (save for Harumi and Mr. E) decide to cut loses with Garmadon and join Lord Mogra, now renaming themselves as The Red Crows.]] |
| 684 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: Their ultimate goal is to create a strong leadership for Ninjago and believe that Lord Garmadon (without the love for his son) is the perfect fit for the role given his defeat of the Great Devourer. |

| 693 | ->'''Debut:''' "The Mask of Deception"\ |
| 694 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/BrittMcKillip |
| 695 | |
| 696 | The leader of the Sons of Garmadon whose identity remains a mystery for most of Season 8. |
| 697 | |
| 698 | She wants Garmadon to be revived as a destroyer because she overheard the paramedics tending to her talk about how he had saved the city, leading her to idolize him and believe that his love for Lloyd was a weakness. She hates the Ninja and especially Lloyd for failing to stop the Great Devourer from killing her parents, and failing to save Ninjago themselves, and hates Lloyd because she knew how Lloyd indirectly caused the Great Devourer incident. |
| 699 | ---- |
| 700 | * ArcVillain: Of Season 8 originally, being the one calling the shots behind the Sons of Garmadon. She hands over the reins of the role to Lord Garmadon once he's successfully resurrected, though. |
| 701 | * AlasPoorVillain: Despite all the evil she had done, she goes out on a rather sympathetic note, as she realizes the weight of her actions and spends her last moments saving a family from suffering the same fate as her birth parents. |
| 702 | * AmbiguousSituation: After she reconciles with Lloyd, their relationship remains unknown. |
| 703 | * BackFromTheDead: She resurfaces in Season 15, having been alive for years after the Overlord brought her back to life. |
| 704 | * BadassBookworm: Very knowledgeable in literature and capable as a fighter and strategist. |
| 705 | * BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Wanted to raise Garmadon from the dead without his heroic qualities, believing that he will be invincible without his love for his son holding him back. Garmadon ends up becoming a BadBoss to her and the Sons of Garmadon, which slowly disillusions her and eventually leads her to abandon him when he refuses to listen to her suggestion to retreat. |
| 706 | * BecomingTheMask: She initially just used Lloyd as a pawn in her scheme to resurrect Garmadon and pretended to be his LoveInterest to further that goal. However it's heavily implied and later confirmed by Season 15 that she developed genuine feelings for him along the way, leading to her trying to get Lloyd to join her side multiple times during Garmadon's reign in Seasons 8 and 9, actually tries to protect him by keeping silent about where he's hiding to Emperor Garmadon and then tries again to get Lloyd to join her in the Council of the Crystal King during the Crystal King's threat in Season 15. |
| 707 | * BigNo: When the Ninja thwarted her ritual and her portal to the Departed Realm closes. |
| 708 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: At first appears to be a major new supporting character and a potential LoveInterest for Lloyd. She's actually the mastermind behind the events of the eighth season, and actually ''hates'' Lloyd for setting free the snakes that resurrected the Great Devourer, which killed her parents. |
| 709 | * BreakoutVillain: Despite being introduced very late prior to the SoftReboot (in Season 8), dying a season after her debut, she's managed to churn out return appearances likely due to fan popularity, such as through a clone meant to mess with Lloyd's head in ''Prime Empire'', and returning outright as a major antagonist in ''Crystalized''. |
| 710 | * BrokenPedestal: |
| 711 | ** She used to be a fan of the Ninja until the Great Devourer killed her family and she grew to hate the Ninja for failing to stop it, especially Lloyd since he indirectly caused the incident. |
| 712 | ** HistoryRepeats with Lord Garmadon himself, after he refuses to stop and retreat when the Oni Titan's control is wrestled away from him and on top of that gets Harumi killed accidentally, she loses any respect she had for him. When they meet again and she sees Garmadon aiding the Ninja she shoots him a stone-cold death glare and isn't too concerned with his well-being in the final battle, devoting all her worries to Lloyd instead. |
| 713 | * CreateYourOwnVillain: Lloyd was the one who freed Pythor, who freed the Great Devourer, which killed her parents, which lead to Harumi becoming the Quiet One. |
| 714 | * DeathEqualsRedemption: Dies after preventing a family from meeting the same fate as her birth family. Subverted as the Overlord revived her and she goes on to serve his plans. |
| 715 | * DemotedToDragon: By Emperor Garmadon in Season 9, becoming his second in command. It happens ''again'' in Season 15: this time, she is the herald of the Crystal King. |
| 716 | * EasilyForgiven: Zig-Zagged. She [[HeelFaceTurn assists Lloyd and Garmadon]] in defeating the Overlord in Season 15, but the other Ninja are obviously wary of trusting her before Lloyd clarifies she helped them. She's shown helping rebuild the Monastery in the series finale, albeit with the Commissioner being behind her, suggesting that the police are keeping watch over her. |
| 717 | * EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: Although she's an {{Arc Villain}}ess, she honestly loves her birth parents very much. It's learning that [[spoiler:the Overlord created the very creature that caused their deaths what drives her to turn good for real and to turn against the Overlord.]] |
| 718 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: |
| 719 | ** It's implied that her feelings for Lloyd may be real after all after she spared his life twice, kept the location of his hideout a secret for as much as she could, and the way she looked at him, almost begging for forgiveness, before her apparent death. |
| 720 | ** She also seems to be touched by Mr. E's death, and, despite the implications of giving them a YouHaveFailedMe at least once, shown to be an overall decent boss to the Sons of Garmadon. |
| 721 | * EvilAllAlong: She was the one behind the bombing at her temple and manipulates Lloyd and the rest of the Ninja into playing into her hands. |
| 722 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: When her true colors are revealed, she switches from her normal civilian outfit to a goth appearance that more closely fits the aesthetic of the Sons of Garmadon. |
| 723 | * EvilCounterpart: To Lloyd. |
| 724 | * EvilGenius: Garmadon's primary advisor in Season 9, with Ultra Violet being his second advisor. Ultra Violet was Harumi's own Evil Genius beforehand. |
| 725 | * EvilOrphan: The loss of her birth parents and being let down by her heroes caused her to become this. Hutchins knew about her problems and tried to help her but the Emperor and Empress turned a blind eye to it as they believed she would get over her it after becoming a princess. |
| 726 | * EvilSoundsDeep: While using the Oni Mask of Hatred and disguised as the Kabuki Mask. |
| 727 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As the princess, Harumi has her hair up in a ponytail, but as the Quiet One she has her hair undone and bangs around her face. |
| 728 | * FacialMarkings: As the Quiet One, she has red makeup on the top of her face. |
| 729 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: Even though her adoptive parents and Hutchins genuinely loved her and believed they treated her well, Harumi didn't love them back and had them killed with no remorse. |
| 730 | * FemmeFatale: An interesting example. She doesn't try to outright seduce Lloyd like other Femme Fatales; rather, she pretends to be his friend and love interest to manipulate him into taking the Oni Masks for her and resurrecting Lord Garmadon. After Lloyd starts to catch on, though, she does begin breaking out the sex appeal in subtle, G-rated ways (such as kissing him to make him stop asking questions and stroking his chest when he begins to suspect her true identity), but at this point, it's too late and it doesn't work. |
| 731 | * {{Foil}}: |
| 732 | ** To Hutchins. Harumi appears to be a sweet, harmless girl who admires the Ninja she is actually evil, ruthless and HATES the Ninja while Hutchins at first appears to be stern and impatient with the Ninja as well as behaving suspiciously by doing things like wandering around the palace at night and walking through tunnels full of explosives he is a genuinely good and loyal man who just wanted to protect the Royal Family and respects the Ninja. |
| 733 | ** Also, to Lloyd. They both are blondes who like the color green. They both had tragic pasts with a lack of parents and got a second better chance. Though, while Lloyd acted positively toward his new family, Harumi rejected hers. They both are leaders as their alter egos with Lloyd being the Green Ninja and Harumi leading the Sons of Garmadon. Though, Lloyd leads the good side while Harumi leads the bad side. They both are important figures in their normal lives with Harumi being the future queen and Lloyd being the Grandson of the First Spinjitzu Master and Lord Garmadon's son. They both admired evil Garmadon at one point. With Lloyd switching to good Garmadon and Harumi staying with bad Garmadon. |
| 734 | * FreudianExcuse: During the Great Devourer's attack (indirectly caused by Lloyd) Harumi's parents were brutally killed when their apartment complex collapsed, leaving her homeless, orphaned, and traumatized. She overheard the paramedics who were tending to her talking about how Garmadon was the real hero who killed the Devourer and the Ninja's failure to stop the creature. This leads her to idolize Garmadon and hate the Ninja for the damage they caused (and still cause) to the city during their battles. After that, she was adopted into the Royal Family and had to endure a strict education to become the perfect princess of Ninjago, as well as having to stay in the palace most of the time. This combined with the grief and trauma from the loss of her birth parents filled her with hatred and vengeance. |
| 735 | * {{Gaslighting}}: When Lloyd starts to realize that Harumi is the Quiet One, Harumi tries to make him think otherwise by acting hurt by the accusation and saying that she loved him. She stops once Lloyd makes it clear that he's not buying it and immediately attacks him. |
| 736 | * GildedCage: She lived in luxury, but it is implied that she was rarely allowed to leave the palace. |
| 737 | * HappilyAdopted: '''Averted'''. Harumi hated her adoptive parents and being the Princess of Ninjago partly because she had to endure strict education and being forced into a role she did not want to play and was never allowed to be free or live a life she wanted. |
| 738 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: Dies after saving a family from Garmadon's Colossus getting crushed by the rubble. |
| 739 | * HeelFaceTurn: In Season 15, when she learns the truth that the Overload was the one who corrupted the Great Devourer, she sides with the Ninja and becomes good. |
| 740 | * HeelRealization: |
| 741 | ** Harumi starts to realize what her actions have done to all of Ninjago after seeing a family about to suffer a fate similar to her birth family, even attempting to save them from the destruction caused by Garmadon's Colossus. |
| 742 | ** She later has another one when the Overlord reveals that he was the one who corrupted the Great Devourer, which snaps her out of her evil ways and she sides with the Ninja. |
| 743 | * {{Hypocrite}}: |
| 744 | ** Harumi calls Lloyd and the Ninja "kids playing dress up" because Ninjago has nearly fallen under their watch several times, but this falls flat coming from a PsychopathicWomanchild who intends to oppress Ninjago and embraces villainy because she thinks it's cooler, throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way, and gloats about her victories (real or presumed). If anything, Harumi is far more childish than any of the Ninja. |
| 745 | ** She ultimately wants revenge on the Ninja for failing to save her parents from the Great Devourer, but after resurrecting Garmadon, likely ends up robbing several families of their loved ones with the mass destruction brought about by her plans. She [[HeelRealization comes to realize this]] when she ends up seeing a family who are about to undergo the same situation as her and helps them at the cost of her life. When the Overlord brings her back this is partly lampshaded when the Overlord points out how she admired the very person who got her killed in the end. |
| 746 | * INeverSaidItWasPoison: This is how Lloyd realizes she's the Quiet One. When Harumi is unable to get the Oni Mask of Hatred, she tells Lloyd to get it for her by explaining how only someone with Oni blood can get the mask. While Lloyd does get the mask, he quickly realizes something isn't right about Harumi's explanation, since as far as he knew, only he and Jay learned about the First Spinjitzu Master being part Oni from Mystake and Harumi was never present for such a thing. Therefore, Harumi should have no reason to know that Lloyd was part Oni unless she was the Quiet One seeking Garmadon's resurrection as a being of evil. |
| 747 | * IgnoredEpiphany: Although Harumi does see how much harm her actions caused when she sees a family in peril (reminding her of how she lost her parents) to the point she dies to save them, and initially shows reluctance to serve the Overlord after he resurrects her, it doesn't take much convincing from the Overlord for her to go back to her evil ways and agree to become his servant. She only turns on the Overlord after he reveals his role in her parents' deaths, and this time, her HeelFaceTurn seems to stick. |
| 748 | * IronicNurseryTune: In-Universe, she turns "Spider in your Mouth" into this. |
| 749 | * {{Irony}}: The creature that killed her parents is the same creature responsible for turning Garmadon into the EvilOverlord she idolizes. She also eventually ends up working for the Overlord, the creature who originally corrupted the Great Devourer and for futher irony, she also worked alongside the one responsible for willingly unleashing the Great Devourer in the first place, Pythor, with her none the wiser. |
| 750 | * KickTheDog: Harumi tends to direct her most petty acts of cruelty towards Lloyd. Some of the most notable examples include: |
| 751 | ** Mocking Lloyd for thinking that their relationship was real when he begs her to let his mother go by saying this conflict is between them. |
| 752 | ** Gloating about her success when it looks like the Ninja are dead and Lloyd is mourning the loss of his comrades. |
| 753 | ** Gloating to Lloyd that his father now cares for her over him. While it turns out that she was only trying to goad him into wearing the Oni Mask, the fact that she still gloats that her side will win when Lloyd doesn’t take the bait implies that she also wanted to rub salt on the wound. |
| 754 | * KilledOffForReal: Being trapped in a collapsing building will do that. [[SubvertedTrope She later returns in]] ''[[SubvertedTrope Crystalized]]'' [[SubvertedTrope where it was revealed that the Overlord revived Harumi after offering her the chance to serve for him]]. |
| 755 | * LonelyAtTheTop: After becoming a princess, Harumi became lonely and miserable which causes her budding romance with Lloyd to become very deep as it is the first time she's had real companionship or at least that's how she acts, in truth, she has a whole cult of allies and was just using Lloyd for her own goals. Gets more legitimate when she comes under the Crystal King's servitude, finding herself wishing for Lloyd to join her side and rule together. |
| 756 | * LoonyFan: |
| 757 | ** Hero-worships Lord Garmadon for killing the Great Devourer and believes that he will be the leader Ninjago deserves. She wants to resurrect him without any of his positive qualities because she views his love for Lloyd as his one weakness, and believes that, without it, he'll be invincible. She loses this gradually with her loyalty turning to fear as the resurrected Garmadon proves himself a BadBoss and despite adopting her, continues implicitly threatening her life for the slightest mistake, culminating in trying to jump ship once Garmadon loses control of the Oni Titan. |
| 758 | ** After being resurrected by the Crystal King/Overlord, she's become one for him as a result of being disillusioned with how sociopathic Garmadon was and that Lloyd didn't appear to care about her death. She gets over it once she learns that the Overlord was the real culprit of all her suffering. |
| 759 | * TheLostLenore: In "Secret of the Wolf". Despite her deceiving, betraying, and trying to kill Lloyd, he apparently talked about her a ''lot'' during his journey with Akita and was visibly hurt when Akita called his stories about Harumi "boring". This implies that she still holds a place in his heart, even after everything that happened. |
| 760 | * LoveInterestTraitor: First appears as the love interest to Lloyd, but it's revealed she's been pretending to reciprocate his crush on her just to use him, and even exploit's Lloyd's feelings for her multiple times either to screw with him, manipulate him, or make him drop his guard. Despite her cruel betrayal, however, Lloyd never let go of his feelings for her, and it's hinted that she may like him after all. In Season 15 she continues this way more legitimately, trying to have Lloyd turn to the dark side and join her as a member of the Council of the Crystal King. |
| 761 | * MakeUpIsEvil: Is a ManipulativeBitch who wears lipstick and prominent facial mask paint in her evil and good attires. |
| 762 | * ManipulativeBitch: Plays Lloyd like a fiddle until the very end, and gets the other Ninja to trust her for a good long while. |
| 763 | * MasterActress: [[ManipulativeBitch She had the Ninja fooled]] with her whole "helpful sweet princes" shtick. Her acting doesn't improve much afterwards, however, with her attempts to mask her emotions or fear falling apart whenever her evil superiors pressure her. |
| 764 | * MaybeEverAfter: Although Harumi reconciles with Lloyd, their relationship remains unknown. |
| 765 | * MisaimedFandom: Harumi is an InUniverse example. She idolizes Lord Garmadon as a villain because he destroyed the Great Devourer while the Ninja couldn’t save her parents, not caring for the fact that Garmadon’s reasons for doing so weren’t done out of altruism and the Ninja did help contribute to the battle. Harumi is utterly furious and hateful when Garmadon turns good because she preferred him as a villain, not caring that Garmadon wasn’t evil by choice and wanted to be good. When she discovers there’s a way to bring Garmadon back from the dead without his good traits, she immediately conspires to do so she can rule at his side. |
| 766 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Though briefly trying to rationalize the resurrection of Garmadon as a way to give Ninjago a proper ruler and protector in contrast to the Ninja constantly just barely stopping their opponents, Lloyd rightfully surmises that she only wants revenge. Harumi, for her part, very quickly abandons any pretense otherwise, happily admitting that she doesn't care about the suffering of innocents so long as she makes him suffer as well. |
| 767 | * TheQuietOne: [[DepartmentofRedundancyDepartment No kidding.]] At least she was this while in shock as a child from the rampage of the Great Devourer. She'd later use this name for her revenge-seeking persona as a reference to her trauma. |
| 768 | * PauperPatches: As a child, Harumi and her parents all had those. |
| 769 | * PsychopathicManchild: Harumi's true demeanor after she drops the act is revealed to be that of a bratty child who throws tantrums when things don't go her way and enjoys gloating about her success. She idolizes Lord Garmadon as an evil being like a little kid who thinks evil is better, lunges at Lloyd screaming when he sees through her VillainsWantMercy act below, acts like a SoreLoser whenever the heroes start to get one over her, and gloats whenever she thinks she has the advantage. Most likely justified, because her adopted parents' upbringing didn't do much to improve her mental and emotional health and she's been stewing in her own resentment for so long that she never really matured and grew out of it. |
| 770 | * RagsToRoyalty: She was born a peasant and ended up becoming the Princess of Ninjago after being adopted by the Royal Family. |
| 771 | * RedBaron: Was temporarily [[StunnedSilence rendered mute]] after the traumatic death of her parents, and when rescue officers came to save her they referred to her as a "Quiet One", which is where she took her moniker from later. This is also a WhamLine in the show proper. |
| 772 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: She dies after saving a family from a situation similar to how she lost her own parents while also realizing that the "hero" she worshipped was truly evil and had to be stopped. She doesn't stay dead for long, though... Averted as she later becomes good in Season 15 without needing to die. |
| 773 | * SelfMadeOrphan: Not when it happened the first time, but she does kill her adoptive parents just to try and maintain her cover and as retaliation for the horrible childhood she experienced at their hands. |
| 774 | * ScrewThisImOutOfHere: When Garmadon loses control of the Colossus to Skylor, Harumi urges him to flee. When Garmadon refuses to do so, Harumi decides to follow her own advice instead by ziplining to another building, only to get herself killed after she chooses to stay long enough to save a family in peril. |
| 775 | * ShadowArchetype: To Lloyd. While Lloyd started off hero-worshiping his father and later switched over to the Ninja, Harumi used to hero-worship the Ninja before switching to Lord Garmadon. The same series of events triggered their respective HeelFaceTurn[=/=]FaceHeelTurn, too - Lloyd setting the snakes free made him have his HeelRealization which led to him becoming the Green Ninja, while this same act prompted Harumi down the path of her RoaringRampageOfRevenge and caused her to become the Quiet One. Both of their character arcs center around Lord Garmadon, but Lloyd's revolves around trying to make him back into the man he was, while Harumi's revolves around trying to bring him back as the monster he became. |
| 776 | * ShipTease: A lot with Lloyd before the horrifying [[TheReveal Reveal]]. This was intentional on Harumi's part to manipulate him. |
| 777 | ** Season 9 has a more legitimate case when she keeps quiet about Lloyd's whereabouts to Garmadon despite the risk the lie poses to her life and Lloyd being her enemy. Later when she is about to die saving a family she gives one last look towards Lloyd. |
| 778 | ** Later on she gets more legitimate moments with him in Season 15, starting with trying to get Lloyd to join the Council of the Crystal King, being hesitant to kill him despite pressure from the Overlord's orders and gradually warms up to him legitimately, ending with them on relatively good terms by the series finale. |
| 779 | * StrictParentsMakeSneakyKids: The Emperor and Empress were very strict and controlling of her, which contributed to her downfall into insanity and drove her to sneak off during the night, first on harmless outings such as going to restaurants to eat food she wasn't allowed to as well as to start a dangerous biker gang in order to resurrect the evil version of Garmadon. |
| 780 | * TookALevelInJerkass: While Harumi wasn't an angel back in Seasons 8 and 9, she was only this because she felt that the Ninja were failures and eventually turned good but at the cost of her own life. Once resurrected by the Overlord, she not only goes back to her evil ways, but is also more prone to mocking Lloyd and even more intent with killing the Ninja. Thankfully, she gets another HeelFaceTurn when the Overlord reveals the truth about corrupting the Great Devourer. |
| 781 | * TragicKeepsake: She carries an old family photo of herself with her birth parents and later one with the Emperor and Empress with her wherever she goes. |
| 782 | * UngratefulBitch: Despite the fact that the royal family took her in after her parents died and Hutchins tried to help her, she kills them in cold blood without any remorse when she feels that they're in the way of her grand master plan. She also backstabs the Ninja despite the kindness they show her afterwards, too. |
| 783 | * UptownGirl: When she was adopted by the Emperor and Empress. |
| 784 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Before the death of her parents set her on course for her StartOfDarkness. |
| 785 | * VillainHasAPoint: While she's wrong for thinking of Lord Garmadon as a hero, she's not wrong in saying that Ninjago has nearly fallen numerous times under the Ninja's watch. |
| 786 | * VillainousPrincess: She's one {{manipulative|bitch}} and evil princess. |
| 787 | * VillainsWantMercy: When she is arrested she begs Lloyd for mercy saying she's seen the error of her ways, but Lloyd doesn't buy it. Later just before her death, she gazes at Lloyd imploringly wanting forgiveness for all she's done, hinting she might have had genuine feelings for him. |
| 788 | * WeCanRuleTogether: In Season 15 she tries to get Lloyd to join the Crystal King's Council, unlike most of her past offers she is entirely sincere about it, wanting to keep Lloyd safe and at her side. |
| 789 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: In contrast to her single-minded desire for revenge in her previous appearances, Harumi's return in Season 15 sees her adopt a genuine desire to bring peace to Ninjago by ending the constant conflict that comes from the Balance. Though she clearly still wants revenge and readily admits that she's willing to see innocents suffer for her cause, her growing affection for Lloyd sees her gradually drop her pettier goals and repeatedly attempt to convince him to join them. |
| 790 | * WalkingSpoiler: Gee, it's almost as if this character's entire section is a spoiler. [[SarcasmMode Wonder why?]] |

| 809 | * FrontlineGeneral: He leads the attacks of the Sons of Garmadon more often than the other generals. Justified since Ultra Violet is the EvilGenius [[spoiler:and the security officer after Garmadon took over Ninjago]] and Killow is TheStrategist and the recruiter. That said, Mister E. isn't stupid either. |

| 839 | * EvilGenius: The personal advisor of TheQuietOne. She and The Quiet One are later the main advisors of Garmadon. |

| 852 | |
| 853 | The largest member of the Sons of Garmadon. |
| 854 | ---- |
| 855 | * BackForTheFinale: Returns in Season 15 as a part of the resistance. |
| 856 | * TheBigGuy: His nickname is "The Big Man", and it shows. He's easily the physically largest human character. |
| 857 | * TheBrute: His role within the Sons of Garmadon. He's also the largest and physically strongest among them. |
| 858 | * CoDragons: of The Quiet One alongside Mr. E and Ultra Violet. |
| 859 | * EvilBrit: Unusually for TheBrute, but it has more to do with his voice actor. |
| 860 | * GeniusBruiser: Is physically the strongest member of the Sons of Garmadon, but is also their chief tactician making plans for their operations. |
| 861 | * HeelFaceTurn: In "Crystallized", he helps Garmadon and the Ninja in fighting off the Overlord's Crystal armies. |
| 862 | * MindOverMatter: Ironically, he mainly uses the Oni Mask of Deception, which allows the user to move objects with their mind. As TheBigGuy, you'd expect him to use the Mask of Vengeance (boosts reflexes and gives the user four arms) or the Mask of Hatred (which gives the user NighInvulnerability). Perhaps that's the point - after all, Killow isn't merely just a DumbMuscle, he's a decent strategist and a high-ranking Sons of Garmadon member. |
| 863 | * NonStandardCharacterDesign: He is notably one of the few characters in the show to have fingers, even among the Big Fig characters; Dogshank and a Vermillion Samurai in Season 7 have hands more similar to the toyline version (large hands with the fingers sculpted in). Killow is also the only Big Fig character in the show so far to have a Minifigure head. |

| 871 | The Dragon Hunters are a tribal society that inhabits the Realm of Oni and Dragons, where, true to their name, hunt the dragons to exploit their Elemental Powers with the use of Vengestone weaponry. |
| 872 | ---- |
| 873 | * TheApunkalypse: Imagine what ''Film/MadMax'' would look like in a LEGO world, mix in a little {{Dieselpunk}}, and you'll have the Dragon Hunters. |
| 874 | * FantasticRacism: They hate Oni and enslave Dragons (who have proven to be sentient). |
| 875 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After the Iron Baron's lies are exposed, they turn on him and help the Ninja.]] |
| 876 | * HuskyRusskie: Most of them (if not all) speak with a Russian accent. |
| 877 | * MeaningfulName: Nearly all of them possess these. |
| 878 | ** The leader is named the Iron Baron, referencing how his left arm and right leg are mechanical after having been previously taken by Firstbourne. |
| 879 | ** A member with mechanical spider legs and no bottom half is named Daddy No Legs. |
| 880 | ** The member of the group who wields a jet pack is named Jet Jack. |
| 881 | ** TheUnintelligible who has a muzzle covering his mouth is named Muzzle. |
| 882 | ** A member with a slot machine in his body is named Arkade, which is Arcade with XtremeKoolLetterz. |
| 883 | ** TheChewToy of the group is literally named Chew Toy. |
| 884 | ** The only aversion of this trope is Heavy Metal, whose name doesn't exactly relate to their status in the group, [[spoiler:nor does her actual name, Faith]]. |
| 885 | * NoSell: Thanks to the [[spoiler:Dragonbone Blade]] they can absorb elemental powers in case of a fight, they also use special vengestone weapons and chains to de-power dragons, allowing the Hunters to trap them. |
| 886 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler:As confirmed by Tommy Andersen's twitters the throne the Iron Baron sits in was made of the now deceased Ultra Dragon's Corpse, which means that they either killed it themselves or retrieved it's corpse.]] |

| 894 | |
| 895 | The leader of the Dragon Hunters. |
| 896 | ---- |
| 897 | * AnArmAndALeg: Firstbourne took his left arm and right leg. |
| 898 | * AssholeVictim: He is an megalomaniacal dragon hunter and abuser, a liar to his own hunters, and also a sexist as poor Faith can attest to. So it's hard to feel bad for him when he's burned into a molten magma statue and doomed to slowly die. |
| 899 | * BigBadEnsemble: While the original Ninja are fighting him in the First Realm, Nya, Lloyd, and the Resistance are fighting Emperor Garmadon back in Ninjago. |
| 900 | * BigBadWannabe: [[spoiler:His entire goal of finding the Dragon Armor turns out to be pointless, as it was the First Spinjitzu Master's kind nature that allowed him to control the Firstbourne, meaning that he was never going to be able to wield it for his own purposes. He's subsequently defeated in the penultimate episode, as the Ninja return to defeat Garmadon.]] |
| 901 | * CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:He is burned alive by Firstbourne. Even after it's done, he can still be heard yelling from inside the molten magma that has encased him, which means getting burned alive didn't kill him straight away, instead he was trapped inside with no food or water, meaning his death will be a slow one.]] |
| 902 | * DeathByIrony: In two different ways. [[spoiler:He gets burned alive by the very dragon he sought to control, and he gets encased in an [[StealthPun iron-like]] substance. He also made a habit of lying about his deeds to maintain his control over the Dragon Hunters, and essentially walks into his death after Wu lied to him, with Wu crediting him for showing the effectiveness of lying.]] |
| 903 | * DiscOneFinalBoss: [[spoiler:He gets burned alive and imprisoned in molten magma by Firstbourne in the penultimate episode of Season 9, right before the final showdown with Garmadon.]] |
| 904 | * FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: [[spoiler:Getting burned alive and suffering from dehydration and starvation while encased in molten magma is a pretty gruesome way to go for a kids show.]] |
| 905 | * FantasticRacism: Hates Oni and doesn't show much appreciation nor respect to the Dragons either, as he enslaves them and forces them to fight in an arena to the death for his amusement. |
| 906 | * {{Greed}}: The Iron Baron is obsessed with gaining the Dragon Armor and controlling Firstbourne, which is after he's already effectively become king of the Dragon Hunters. He actually admits to being greedy to Wu in private, stating that the best part of being powerful is that he can't ever have enough, that "there's always more to rule". |
| 907 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He gets burned alive by Firstbourne, the very dragon which he sought to control. Downplayed however as it isn't the burning alive which kills him, but rather likely dehydration from within the molten magma he was encased in after the burning.]] |
| 908 | * MeaninglessVillainVictory: [[spoiler:He finds the Dragon Armor he so much coveted... But because the Firstbourne only listens to those of kind nature, he ends up unable to actually use its power.]] |
| 909 | * MilesGloriosus: [[spoiler:He made up a story about how he single-handedly helped the Hunters survive against the Oni, Heavy Metal/Faith eventually realized he was telling nothing but lies after finding the abandoned Oni ruins, which makes her realize that the Oni were long-gone from the realm when the first hunters arrived.]] |
| 910 | * PlotIrrelevantVillain: While he's a major antagonist in Season 9 and expands on the lore of the Oni, he's not very important to the overarching plot of Seasons 8-10 due to having no ties to Lord Garmadon's revival, and when push comes to shove, [[spoiler:isn't defeated in some final confrontation, but gets trapped in molten iron due to Wu lying to him about how the Dragon Armor works, letting the final act focus entirely on the reunited heroes fighting the Sons of Garmadon]]. |
| 911 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: His left eye is red, and he's one of the two {{Big Bad}}s of Season 9. |

| 923 | * TheDragon: The second-in-command of the Dragon Hunters [[spoiler:until she defects from Iron Baron]]. |
| 924 | * GenderConcealingVoice: [[spoiler:Heavy Metal is revealed to be a woman named Faith using a disguise and voice changer to look and sound like a man. The trope is invoked by Iron Baron due to him recognizing her skill as a hunter, yet not wanting trouble with his fellow Dragon Hunters for putting a woman in such a high position.]] |
| 925 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She turns on the Iron Baron after the truth of the Dragon Hunters and Oni comes out.]] |
| 926 | * RageBreakingPoint: [[spoiler:Seeing the abandoned Oni ruins and realizing everything Iron Baron told the hunters was a lie causes her to flip out. It only gets worse when Wu finally tells her that he doesn't know where the Dragon Armor is or if it even exists, reducing her to {{Angrish}}.]] |
| 927 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: She has a glowing red cybernetic eye. |

| 1010 | * EvilCannotComprehendGood: Well, more like "evil cannot comprehend lesser evil", but he doesn't understand why Garmadon would try to protect Ninjago from the Oni instead of joining them. |
| 1011 | * EvilSoundsDeep: His voice is extremely deep. |
| 1012 | * HateSink: ''Definitely''. Every time the Omega is onscreen, he is shown to be arrogant and ruthless, and he has no qualms in taunting Garmadon over his insecurities and wiping out all of existence. |
| 1013 | * LogicalWeakness: The Omega desire to erase creation itself. His defeat ends up being due to the ''Tornado of Creation''. |
| 1014 | * OmnicidalManiac: His ultimate goal is to erase creation from Ninjago and the other realms, planning on ruling over only destruction with the rest of his Oni. |

| 1069 | * MuggleBornOfMages: Despite being a Formling by blood, he was never able to find his animal form, and his jealousy and hatred of the other Formlings, who he believed were mocking and hating him behind his back, led him to exile himself and eventually try to seek out others to help him attack them. |

| 1100 | * ForcedIntoEvil: He was given two choices: either serve the Ice Emperor or die by his hand. |

| 1111 | '''Voiced by:''' Dean Redman (ruler), Zion Simpson (as a child) |
| 1112 | |
| 1113 | The main villain and final boss of the Prime Empire video game. |

| 1116 | * ArcVillain: The ruler of Prime Empire in Season 12 and the main antagonist of the season overall. |
| 1117 | * TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:He achieves his goals of creating a portal to Ninjago and confronting his creator Milton Dyer.]] |
| 1118 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: He's a rarity among Ninjago's antagonists for having ''no'' reliance or ties to any sort of mystical abilities, something many prior antagonists had, and is notably entirely digital. [[spoiler:His motivation (desiring either revenge or answers from his creator who abandoned him) is also more sympathetic than Aspheera and Vex, both of whom have no redeeming qualities, and Unagami manages to be one of the few antagonists to make it out of his season not only [[HeelFaceTurn redeemed]], but with a happy ending.]] |
| 1119 | * EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:Is able to get the answers he was looking for and reunite with his creator.]] |
| 1120 | * FunWithAcronyms: Unagami: [[spoiler:'''Un'''finished '''A'''dventure '''Gam'''e '''1'''.]] |
| 1121 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Unagami was told to give Scott a challenge by Milton Dyer, which resulted in him bringing Scott into Prime Empire (who they couldn't get back), and this is why Unagami was decommissioned. Being unable to understand why his creator would shut him down is ultimately why Unagami planned to get revenge on Milton Dyer (or at least figure out why he was abandoned).]] |
| 1122 | * GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: Was originally just [[spoiler:the AI behind Prime Empire, but grew to feel real emotion. Milton didn't understand this, leading to him being unaware of the repercussions of trying to shut him down.]] |
| 1123 | * HappilyAdopted: [[spoiler:By Milton Dyer in "Game Over" once he's talked down.]] |
| 1124 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:After learning of why he was shut down and hearing that Milton wants to make amends, he chooses to return everyone that was cubed to normal and even frees the [=NPCs=] of Prime Empire.]] |
| 1125 | * LiteralMinded: [[spoiler:He took Milton's request to give Scott "an intense simulated gaming experience" as bringing him into the game itself, which was what led to him getting deactivated.]] |
| 1126 | * MindReading: Implied to be capable of this, likely having created [[spoiler:Avatar Harumi]] from information about [[spoiler:the real one]] obtained from reading the minds of trapped players. |
| 1127 | * OneWingedAngel: He can transform into a black dragon. |
| 1128 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: He can change his form to the Unagami black dragon. |
| 1129 | * ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:To as similar to an extent as possible for an AI and its creator, with Unagami's feelings and anger having many parallels to a child lashing out in anger over being abandoned and wanting answers. Made more apparent when Jay points out that they are similar in this regard and Unagami taking on the form of a child when he talks with Milton.]] |
| 1130 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Despite saying that he would never allow Okino into the real world with him for disobeying him, Okino is among the beings of Prime Empire who is taken to the real world even prior to Unagami's HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 1131 | * RealityWarper: Is able to control many aspects of Prime Empire [[spoiler:since he effectively ''is'' Prime Empire]]. [[spoiler:He retains this trait once he makes the jump to the real world.]] |

| 1181 | '''Voiced by:''' Creator/DevenMack |
| 1182 | |
| 1183 | A Sorcerer that rules the Dungeons of Shintaro. He uses the Munce and Geckles to mine Vengestone. [[spoiler:His true identity is King Vangelis]]. |
| 1184 | ---- |
| 1185 | * AbusiveParents: [[spoiler:Is emotionally controlling of his daughter, Vania]]. |
| 1186 | * ArcVillain: Of Season 13. |

Vania loses all respect for her father after learning that he's the Skull Sorcerer enslaving the Munce and Geckles and disowning her when she chooses to do the right thing by stopping him, to the point that she has no problems ordering him locked up.]] |
| 1191 | * CaptivityHarmonica: Not exactly a harmonica, but he is seen playing a lyre while imprisoned. |
| 1192 | * EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:He is revealed to be King Vangelis.]] |
| 1193 | * HateSink: Definitely one of the more despicable Ninjago villains with his manipulative and controlling personality. |
| 1194 | * IHaveNoSon: [[spoiler:After revealing himself to be the Skull Sorcerer, Vangelis threatens to disown Vania as his daughter if she chooses to go help Cole and Wu after they were sent down a trap door, and he makes good on that threat. This comes back to bite him after Cole defeats him and [[PlayingTheFamilyCard he tries to beg his daughter for forgiveness and justify his actions]], [[TheDogBitesBack only for Vania to coldly order his arrest]].]] |
| 1195 | * ILied: The Ninja promise to give themselves up if the Skull Sorcerer releases the Munce and the Geckles from their slavery and doesn't kill them. He captures the Ninja, but orders the tribes recaptured and enslaved again ''anyway'', planning to kill the Ninja to further demoralize them. |
| 1196 | * ItsAllAboutMe: All what matters to him is that ''he's'' in control of things. |
| 1197 | * LegacyCharacter: There was a different Skull Sorcerer in the past, named Hazza D'ur, though he's said to be [[PosthumousCharacter long gone by the time the Ninja arrived in Shintairo]]. |
| 1198 | * ManipulativeBastard: He tricked the Lowly into helping him attain the Skull of Hazza D'ur to become the Skull Sorcerer and cast them into the deepest depths of the mountain for years, and manipulated the Munce and Geckles into turning against each other by [[spoiler:stealing the Blades of Deliverance]] so they would be easier to conquer and enslave. |
| 1199 | * NeverMyFault: When facing Cole in ''Crystallized'', he blames him for [[spoiler:alienating his daughter along with his dethroning]], and is called out for blatantly deflecting his own part in what happened. |
| 1200 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: While he claims that he sold the Vengestone mined by the enslaved Munce and Geckles in order to use the profit to keep his people happy by maintaining Shintaro's prosperity, in actuality he's a greedy tyrant who's only interested in feeding his own ego by ensuring that his vision of a "perfect" and "glorious" kingdom becomes a reality.]] |
| 1201 | * PlayingTheFamilyCard: [[spoiler:After he's defeated by Cole, Vangelis tries to beg for forgiveness from Vania and justify his actions by calling her "my daughter", despite disowning her as his child for choosing to help the heroes oppose him. Vania rightfully doesn't accept this and orders his arrest.]] |
| 1202 | * SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: He enslaves the Geckles and Munce and forces them to mine for Vengestone, threatening them with death from his undead army. |
| 1203 | * TookALevelInJerkass: The Skull Sorcerer was already a big jerk in Season 13, enslaving Munce and Geckles, making them turn on each other, lying to the ninja [[spoiler: and his daughter, Vania,]] for his own personal gain, trapping the Lowly once they did what they asked him to do, and [[spoiler:disowning Vania as his daughter when she chooses to do the right thing by defying him]]. But by Season 15, he's become more unhinged and more rude and insulting towards his teammates, in contrast to how he would even call his own minions his ''children''. Furthermore, he was even going to disobey the Crystal King just to kill Cole, even though the Crystal King asked him bring the Earth ninja to him alive. |
| 1204 | * VillainHasAPoint: While he was definitely wrong when he enslaved Munce and Geckles and used them in forced labor, [[spoiler:Vengestone mining was probably the only major source of the town's income]], and it's unlikely that [[spoiler:the dungeons' residents would just let anyone come and take it]]. Possibly {{subverted|Trope}} when [[spoiler:the Munce and Geckles still allow the Shintairo residents to have their vengestone]]. |
| 1205 | * VillainsWantMercy: Begs for Cole to spare him after the Ninja destroys the Skull of Hazza D'ur (and [[spoiler:Vangelis' powers]]). Cole has none, leaving him to be judged by the Munce, Geckles, and [[spoiler:his own daughter. He then tries this trick on Vania, only for her to promptly order his arrest, leading to his...]] |
| 1206 | * VillainousBreakdown: As he's carried off by the guards, he can only rant and scream about how [[spoiler:he's their king]]. |
| 1207 | * VocalEvolution: When he returns in ''Crystallized'', [[spoiler:his voice is more similar to that of his true identity, King Vangelis, largely dropping his [[LargeHam bombastic]] performance in favor of a quieter and snarkier one.]] |

| 1300 | ---- |
| 1301 | * AntagonisticOffspring: He is the son of King Trimaar and secretly went behind his father's back to sink vessels and cause destruction for his own purposes. [[spoiler:He promptly kills his father the moment he feels that he no longer needs his old man alive.]] |
| 1302 | * ArcVillain: The main villain of Seabound/Season 14. |
| 1303 | * AssholeVictim: Let's just say, the audience is gonna be cheering [[spoiler:once he gets EatenAlive by the Wojira.]] |
| 1304 | * BaitTheDog: In the past, he pretended to care for Benthomaar, simply to get his adoptive brother to do what he wanted him to. |
| 1305 | * CainAndAbel: The Cain to Benthomaar's Abel, being a villainous and treacherous monster who wanted to start a war for the sake of his ego in contrast to his open-minded and kind brother. |
| 1306 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: To a bunch of past antagonists. |
| 1307 | ** Lord Garmadon: Like Garmadon he held a one-sided SiblingRivalry with his younger brother (Wu for Garmadon and Benthomaar for Kalmaar), but while Garmadon did so partly due to perceiving their father as favoring Wu and being corrupted by the Great Devourer's evil poison; Kalmaar loathes his younger adoptive brother purely out of prejudice due to Bentho being a human-like Merlopian, and only ever showed kindness to his brother in order to get him to do what he wanted, never showing an ounce of gratitude for his brother's kindness. Also, while Garmadon is shown to have mere respect towards Wu in spite of their rivalry, Kalmaar shows no respect towards Benthomaar as he considers him to be 'fish-bait'. |
| 1308 | ** Pythor: Both become the kings of their kind through violent means and belonged to a special elevated group among their people (Pythor being part of the Anacondrai tribe, the most powerful Serpentines; while Kalmaar was the son of the King of Merlopia) but while Pythor was implied to be a commoner prior to the death of most of his people and a BlackSheep to his kind and treated with no respect, Kalmaar was royalty and generally lived a life of luxury and was treated with respect and kindness by his peers. Similarly, both plot to conquer the surface world after their races were exiled by humanity in the past with the aid of an ancient malevolent snake deity but while Pythor loses control of the Great Devourer immediately after awakening her, Kalmaar is able to control Wojira with his staff thanks to it controlling the Wave and Storm Amulets [[spoiler:until his staff is destroyed.]] |
| 1309 | ** Krux: They both are the older brothers of someone; Acronix for Krux and Benthomaar for Kalmaar. Krux is Acronix's biological brother, and while they have very different tastes, it's obvious he deeply cares about Acronix and wants to rule Ninjago with him. He at leasts tolerates his brother's fascination with technology and even admitted technology has it's uses every now and then. Kalmaar on the other hand, hates his adopted brother solely out of being adopted and prejudice of his human-like appearance, only showed kindness because needed him for his plans, and wanted nothing to do with him after he outlived his usefulness. |
| 1310 | ** Harumi: Both are royalty members who [[spoiler:murder their respective parents (Harumi murders both of her adoptive parents and Kalmaar murders his father)]] but while Harumi had disdain for [[spoiler:her adoptive parents due to the way they raised her leaving her friendless and a loner]], Kalmaar's sole reasoning for [[spoiler:killing his father]] was to get them out of the way for his plans. Similarly, Harumi ended up having remorse for her actions when they caused mass destruction [[spoiler:and dies sacrificing herself to save a family caught in the crossfire [[RedemptionEqualsDeath redeeming herself]] in the process]] while Kalmaar does not [[spoiler:and dies unceremoniously when Wojira eats him.]] |
| 1311 | * EatenAlive: [[spoiler:Meets his end being swallowed whole by Wojira. And unlike Pythor, [[DeaderThanDead he most likely was disintegrated along with her]].]] |
| 1312 | * EnfantTerrible: His genocidal wishes weren't something he acquired as an adult, he already had these delusions since he was a youngster and spent his youth manipulating his younger adoptive brother, Bentomaar, so he could get him to do what he wanted. |
| 1313 | * EvilBrit: Like Pythor, he has a British accent. |
| 1314 | * TheEvilPrince: Before he [[spoiler:[[{{Patricide}} killed his father, Trimaar]],]] he was the Prince of Merlopia and the only evil member of the royal family that included his father and adoptive brother. |
| 1315 | * {{Expy}}: Of [[ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} Ocean Master]], given how him wanting to wage war on the surface and his purple color scheme are both similar to Orm's usual depictions. His disdain for his adoptive brother also calls to mind how Orm had a lot of disdain for Arthur due to being half-human. |
| 1316 | * FantasticRacism: Hates surface-dwellers, allegedly because of the ancestral surface-dwellers [[TheExile exiling]] Merlopians into the seas, but given his indifference to the fates of both his subjects and family, it's made clear that he simply hates them out of personal prejudices. |
| 1317 | * ForTheEvulz: Even before making his moves with Wojira, he was already sinking vessels into the sea without a care about possible loss of life to sate his bloodlust. All while lying about it to his father. |
| 1318 | * GreenAndMean: His sclera is green and he's utterly ruthless. |
| 1319 | * HateSink: Kalmaar is utterly deplorable, being so prejudiced against surface dwellers, he even [[spoiler:killed his father]] to wage war on Ninjago, he cares nothing for either his family or people and does everything to sate his own bloodlust and desire for control. The writers even called him "the worst villain" in teasers for Seabound. In fact, he '''is''' probably the most despicable and vile villain seen in the series so far. |
| 1320 | * IrrationalHatred: He despices surface dwellers for no apperent reason, which his father calls him out on. |
| 1321 | * ItsAllAboutMe: It would seem that his war on the surface is motivated by a desire to get revenge on the surface-dwellers for exiling Merlopians into the ocean, but it soon becomes clear that he's motivated entirely by his own ego rather than any legitimate attempt at seeking justice. A good example of this is made clear when he lies about his ship-sinking activities to his father. |
| 1322 | * {{Jerkass}}: He is neither nice nor grateful towards anyone, be it his servants or family. |
| 1323 | * KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:He ends up getting eaten alive by the Wojira, the very being he sought to use to destroy the surface]]. |
| 1324 | * JustDesserts: [[spoiler:While he was in control of Wojira, she sought to destroy everything except for him. As soon as he loses control, well...]] |
| 1325 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Claims he wages war on the surface for his fellow Melopians, but it quickly becomes clear he does it out of a mix of his racism and ego. |
| 1326 | * {{Patricide}}: [[spoiler:Murders his father, Trimaar, to take up the throne of Merlopia and start preparing his kingdom to attack the surface.]] |
| 1327 | * PreFinalBoss: He's the last main villain of the show before the GrandFinale. |
| 1328 | * SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler:Kills his own father to take the throne for himself.]] |
| 1329 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: To Pythor, being a purple humanoid creature ArcVillain who wishes to take over Ninjago with the assistance of a giant evil snake deity. |
| 1330 | * UngratefulBastard: Both Trimaar and Benthomar were nothing but kind to Kalmaar, with Trimaar only ever raising his voice to curb Kalmaar's most psychotic traits and Benthomaar outright helping him find key pieces to awaken Wojira and saving his life while they were children. Kalmaar never returned the favor nor ever felt an ounce of gratitude to either and [[spoiler:killed/tried to kill them]] when they no longer had any use for him. |
| 1331 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. The FlashbackEpisode reveals that Kalmaar was just as egotistical and misanthropic as a [[VagueAge child/teen]] as he is now, even before his father took in Benthomaar. He simply got even ''worse'' as he grew up. |
| 1332 | * VillainRespect: Gives this to Antonia when she and Nelson give him a tough chase to get the Storm Amulet back from them, admitting that she's the one who came the closest to stopping his plans despite being a common papergirl. |

| 1342 | * CoDragons: Seems to be this with Glutinous — while the spider-legged scientist works on awakening Wojira, he commands Meropia's army. |
| 1343 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: While he has no qualms about working for someone who is plotting to destroy the surface world, he objects to firing at the Ninja while they are in Merlopia, as Merlopian civilians could get killed. |
| 1344 | * PaletteSwap: He is distinguished from the other Maaray Guards by having green highlights in place of the others' cyan. |
| 1345 | * SecretKeeper: He, unlike other Merlopians, is well aware that [[spoiler:Kalmaar killed his father]], but, keeping UndyingLoyalty to his master, never reveals it. |
| 1346 | * ToylessToylineCharacter: Despite having a rather large role in the story, he's the only member of Kalmaar's army not to make a physical appearance in a Lego set. |
| 1347 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: His fate after the final battle is never addressed. [[spoiler:In the ambiguously canon comic from the official magazine, he tries to take over Merlopia, but is stopped and exiled.]] |

| 1360 | * TokenGoodTeammate: [[spoiler:Somehow, he's the only Merlopian (other than Trimaar) to realize that awakening Wojira is a bad idea.]] |

| 1368 | |
| 1369 | An ancient storm spirit that took the form of a giant sea serpent and terrorized early Ninjago using the Storm and Wave Amulets until she was defeated by Nyad and sealed away in a temple located in the Tartarus Trench. Kalmaar seeks to reawaken Wojira and use her power to destroy Ninjago. |
| 1370 | ---- |
| 1371 | * BlowYouAway: She has the elemental power of Wind. Which allows her to create giant storms. |
| 1372 | * EldritchAbomination: A huge, ancient entity that was around long before the First Spinjitzu Master came to Ninjago, wielding the forces of water and wind using the Wave and Storm Amulets. |
| 1373 | * GreaterScopeVillain: The overarching villain of ''The Island'' and ''Seabound''. She's also the villainess the First Spinjitzu Master and Nyad had to defeat in order to free the World of Ninjago from a great danger and to use her amulets in order create both Ninjago Island and the Dark Island. |
| 1374 | * KnightOfCerebus: Things get really serious when Wojira is finally reawakened, exercising her power to subjugate Ninjago to a violent storm that puts everyone in danger. |
| 1375 | * MakingASplash: She has the elemental power of Water. Which gives her the ability to create massive waves. |
| 1376 | * RealAfterAll: The first time Wu mentioned her, Jay was a little dubious. Several seasons later it turns out Wojira really does exist. |
| 1377 | * SealedEvilInACan: Was sealed away inside the Temple of Wojira in the Tartarus Trench until she was reawakened by Kalmaar using the Wave and Storm Amulets. |
| 1378 | * SuperpowerMeltdown: [[spoiler:After Nya destroys the Wave Amulet, Wojira is unable to withstand the power of the Storm Amulet, electrocuting herself to death]]. |
| 1379 | * {{Synchronization}}: The Wave Amulet is linked to Nya's water powers, which causes them to go haywire when Kalmaar starts tampering with the former. The Storm Amulet meanwhile is said to be linked to the wind powers formerly wielded by Morro, although there are no repercussions seen from messing with it due to the former Elemental Master being long dead by the start of the season. |

| 1412 | ---- |
| 1413 | * DirtyCoward: He values his own life above everyone else's and resorts to trickery to deal with his enemies. The moment things go south for him, he flees in a panic. |
| 1414 | * ItsAllAboutMe: His own life is all that matters to him, not even caring about the devastation Morro will unleash on Ninjago. |

| 1425 | ---- |
| 1426 | * AnimalLover: Can be seen feeding and caring for birds in Ninjago City when he's not in the middle of any "crimes". |
| 1427 | * ButtMonkey: ''No one'' is aware of who he is, with P.I.X.A.L. stating he has no criminal record and doesn't even remember him when his brother mentions her putting him in jail. |
| 1428 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "My cry fills the night!" |
| 1429 | * CrazyMemory: Fugi-Dove's recollection of events is so off that Ultra-Violet has to set the record straight. |
| 1430 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Breaks down crying when Ronin brings up his mother. |
| 1431 | * EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He has a brother, who's about the only one who recalls he exists, and gets in Zane's face for sending him to prison. |
| 1432 | * HarmlessVillain: Poses no real threat to the Ninja. In fact, the only reason he went to jail was because he had a hundred parking tickets rather than any major-scale crime. |
| 1433 | * HeroicSacrifice: '''Yes'''. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer You haven't misread it]]. [[spoiler:After hiding from the cops alongside the Ninja for some time, he stops the police from arresting the heroes and lets them escape, but blows his own cover in the process]]. |
| 1434 | * MirrorCharacter: To Jay, although it's PlayedForLaughs. He's a MotorMouth with a big ego. On top of that, he also has a bird based name. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded in "The Fifth Villain"]] by Fugi-Dove himself. |
| 1435 | * RememberTheNewGuy: Parodied. His first appearance in the show suggests that he's been around for a bit and that he's at least fought Jay before, but Ultra Violet and the Mechanic have no clue who he is. P.I.X.A.L. can't even find a ''criminal record'' for him. |
| 1436 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Thinks he's a big-shot supervillain in Ninjago when in reality, he's [[HarmlessVillain harmless]] and nobody knows who he is. |
