Nuckal

Nuckal is a minor antagonist in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. The Skulkin General of Lightning, he is good friends with Kruncha. He is hyperactive and crazy, making him the opposite of Kruncha. However, by comparison, he is intelligent for a skeleton.

Way of the Ninja
Nuckal and Kruncha accompanied Samukai and several Lightning Skulkin in attacking Four Weapons Blacksmith in search fo the Map to the Golden Weapons. While Kai and Nya were distracted by the foot soldiers, the two generals snuck into the store to search for the map. Nuckal became distracted with one of the samurai helmets and quickly got into a fistfight with Kruncha after each accused the other of not looking hard enough. Their fight however caused a chain reaction of destruction around the shop, eventually revealing the map which the generals claimed. The two retreated to the Skull Truck where they were ordered to capture Nya, and left to the Underworld with her.

The Golden Weapon
Nuckal accompanied Samukai's forces to the Caves of Despair in search of the Scythe of Quakes. While there, he and Kruncha oversaw one of the conveyer belts until Jay alerted the skeletons to the Ninja's presence. He then rallied behind Samukai and attacked the Ninja, though was forced to retreat when the Ninja unlocked Spinjitzu.

Never Trust a Snake
He is a substitute teacher at Darkley's Boarding School for Bad Boys with Nuckal, tied up with a rope thanks to Lloyd's revenge scheme with the help of Pythor.

The Royal Blacksmiths
He appeared with Nuckal cheering the Serpentine's performance and jeering the Ninja.

All of Nothing
Nuckal and Kruncha arrive in the Serpentine's Underground Fortress with the rest of the Skulkin to fight theSerpentine. The two Generals take on Skales together, Nuckal flailing about and babbling to distract theHypnobrai General while Kruncha sneaks behind him to strike.

The Day of The Great Devourer
He and Kruncha partake in the Take Back Ninjago rally.

Ninjaball Run
Kruncha and Nuckal participate in the Ninjaball Run competition using a Skull Truck. While they were successful in taking out Lloyd, though, they crash in the Glacier Barrens.

The Invitation
When Kai became a fighter in underground slither pits, he defeated Kruncha before rejoining the ninja. Nuckal then took the chance of telling off the beheaded Kruncha by kicking his head.

Appearance
Nuckal has a large head with spikes and a metal patch bolted over one eye. He is the only general to not have the elite bone armor.

Weapons
He is seen wielding the Golden Double-Bladed Bone Axe on the official Ninjago website, though in Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, he typically uses a Silver Dark Blade.

Trivia

 * Every set that Nuckal appears in includes a spinner.

 * He and Kruncha have their own theme music in the episodes that play when they appear.
 * His name is a pun on the word "knuckle" as in a bone within the hand.
 * In the episode "The Golden Weapon," he loses a tooth. However, two episodes later, his teeth appear to be normal once more, only for it to fluctuate yet again in "The New Masters of Spinjitzu," where two teeth are missing.
 * He and Kruncha were substitute teachers at Darkley's School for Bad Boys.
 * Nuckal is a playable character in LEGO Ninjago: Shadow of Ronin. He can be bought for 100,000 studs.
 * In "The Invitation", either his and Kruncha's voices are switched, or their character models are.
 * It may have been a mistake with the character models, since the scene with the two shows Kruncha acting with Nuckal's characteristics.
 * In the LEGO Ninjago: Official Guide, he is mistakenly given Kruncha's description.
 * Due to some traits that he possesses, Kuckal may be the undead equivalent of Jay.

 * He is arguably the most comical and least intelligent Skulkin general, and Jay can be seen as the most comical and least intelligent of the Ninja.
 * He often doesn't think plans through (when he is allowed to make decisions), and Jay doesn't usually think his own plans through (a notable example would be in the episode "Stiix and Stones").
 * His best friend is the toughest of Skulkin generals (Kruncha), and the Ninja Jay is closest to is the toughest Ninja (Cole).
