 * This article is about the season. For the episode, click here.

Season 1 of LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, subtitled Rise of the Snakes, was preceded by the Mini-Movies, and succeeded by Season 2. The four original Ninja (Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole) were the focus, Pythor served as the main antagonist, and the Serpentine were the villainous faction of the season. The then-unknown Green Ninja was the mascot.

Official Description
''Since Lord Garmadon’s disappearance from the Underworld, NINJAGO Island has been at peace, but the young ninja have grown lazy. While Garmadon lurks in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike, the ninja meet his young son, Lloyd, who carelessly unleashes a fearsome new enemy upon NINJAGO Island – the ancient tribes of the Serpentine. The leader of the Serpentine, Pythor, hatches an evil plan to bring back the legendary, all-consuming snake, the Great Devourer.''

Story
The Ninja are relaxed. But trouble is brewing. . ..

Young Lloyd Garmadon wants to be evil like his dad, but wherever he goes, those Ninja mess him up. Having unwittingly released the Serpentine, he ends up being the Green Ninja.

Meanwhile, Garmadon is back, mostly out of concern for his son. The season is also highlighted by the discoveries of True Potential, the search for Fang Blades, and the Great Devourer.

Focus Characters

 * This is the only season where all four original Ninja (Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole) were the focus Ninja (not counting the Mini-Movies).
 * Although the four original Ninja were the focus Ninja, Nya and Lloyd also played a vital role.
 * The four original Ninjas' focus was their True Potential in episodes 7-10.
 * Kai was the focus Ninja in episode 10.
 * Jay was the focus Ninja in episodes 3 and 8.
 * Zane was the focus Ninja in episodes 2, 5, and 7.
 * Cole was the focus Ninja in episode 9.
 * Lloyd was not a Ninja in the beginning, but his identity had changed several times throughout the series.
 * Lloyd was an antagonist in episodes 1-4, but he became a protagonist starting from episode 5.
 * Lloyd was revealed to be the Green Ninja in episode 10, which was vital to the whole story.
 * Lloyd was the focus character in episode 10.
 * Lloyd did not show an appearance in the main title, but the Green Ninja is seen in the beginning of each episode.
 * Nya was not the focus character, but her identity of Samurai X was also a vital story line in episodes 5 and 6.
 * Wu also had some capacity in the show (like his past with Garmadon in episode 7 and Wu versus Pythor in episode 12), but the appearance of Wu was less than the six main characters.

Antagonists

 * Pythor served as the main antagonist of the season. Other important antagonists include Lord Garmadon (episodes 8-13), the Great Devourer (episode 13), Skales, and Lloyd (episodes 1-4).
 * The Serpentine were the villainous faction of the season. Skulkin Army also had a cameo appearance in episodes 7 and 11.
