Chopov

Chopov is a minor antagonist in LEGO Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu. He is the Skeleton of Earth in the Skulkin army, as well as the mechanic responsible for keeping the Skulkin Vehicles in tip top shape.

Appearance
Chopov wears a black military helmet on top of his cracked skull. He dresses in gray earth armor on his shoulders, chest, and pelvis, wearing black boots on his feet.

History
''NOTE: To fill out the Skulkin ranks in the television series, most of the skeleton characters were used multiple times in group shots. As such, any notable appearances of an Earth Skeleton will be categorized here, for convenience.''

The Golden Weapon
Several Earth Skulkin accompanied Samukai to the Caves of Despair where they began mining operations in search of the Scythe of Quakes.

As an Earth Skulkin was helping an Ice and Lightning Skulkin move a mining cart, they were interrupted by Jay's echoing voice.

The entire Skulkin force then rallied behind Samukai and ambushed the Ninja outside the cave holding the Scythe. While they quickly overpowered the Ninja, Jay quickly figured out the key to Spinjitzu, thus turning the tide. The Earth Dragon then appeared and Samukai called a retreat.

King of Shadows
An Earth Skulkin accompanied Samukai and several other Skulkin to ambush the other three Ninja while Garmadon dealt with Kai in the Fire Temple.

Secrets of the Blacksmith
When Nya returned to Four Weapons Blacksmith to pack up her belongings, Wyplash, Chopov, Bonezai, and Krazi ambushed her. In retaliation, Nya knocked Wyplash and Krazi to the ground, sprung a trap onto Chopov, and kicked Bonezai aside. As the group of Skulkin began overtaking her, Nya quickly used a nearby gong to force them to pause while she escaped the shop.

Trivia
