It's just, the Preeminent would've had to be a real creature in Ninjago, since whatever is corrupted with evil doesn't change their appearance very much. I assume, like the Grundle, it would've been a creature that eventually went extinct. It was probably (ironically) a sea creature (looking at all its tentacles).

Ah, that's an interesting idea. Maybe, instead of them being the original inhabitants, they could've just been attempts at life by the First Spinjitzu Master. He was only able to create a bunch of lifeless skeletons, and during the battle between the Overlord, they were corrupted with evil and darkness. Fearing that the Overlord would have an advantage, he cas them down to the Underworld (perhaps creating it) so that they wouldn't interfere. Like you said, they became spiteful at him (and his sons) as the years past, but became accustomed to living where they were. They even managed to find ways to exit the Underworld, like the opening at the Fire Temple. A few came and went through that exit, and by eavesdropping, it was discovered that their was a very intelligent tinkerer living in a forest somewhere in Ninjago. Samukai, a general, lead a mission out of the Underworld, with plans for useful vehicles, to find that inventor. By the time they had found the tinkerer and his secret workshop, he had grown very old. Devising a plan of blackmail, Samukai went to find an elixir (probably from Mystake's shop) that would prolong death (slowing the aging process). He and his small group of Skulkin returned to the tinkerer's workshop, to find him near death, with what appeared to be his son standing next to him, in a daze. Without hesitation, Samukai revived the old man, an then revealed what they had come for. The tinkerer refused, but Samukai told him, that if he ever wanted to see his son again, he needed to build their vehicles. The tinkerer accepted reluctantly, and he built the vehicles as quickly as he could, but to all of their demands. The hardest part, was developing a mechanism on the vehicles that would  open a portal to the Underworld (which he was able to do, by having it powered by enough speed from them). After those were built, Samukai betrayed the deal (not wanting the old man to make their existence known to the people of Ninjago, especially the First Spinjitzu Master), by locking him in a tower-like prison in the middle of the Endless Sea. neat, also, i have been thinking about how we could try to make more sence of the Tournament of Elements, and an idea i have been thinking of, is that Pythor could be on the Anacondrai cultists side, just like in the sets (note i would add that part of the shrink in pill, so instead Pythor would just be in his white color) and the reason would be that he would with the help from Chen (who would be the leader of the cult, but also be gone from the cult stuff, because he would be doing buisness meetings and other company stuffs) and Clouse, be trying to make an army of Serpentine/human hybrids, or something.
